Within Walking Distance

So I decided to share a couple of pictures of the neighborhood. The main street, the Rambla, runs right next to the shore and has a lot of high rise apartment buildings along one side. In this picture, an old church being restored is wedged between two of them.

This is the other side of the Rambla - beach and shoreline for the entire distance. This is the beach by Positos. No sunbathers as late in the day as this picture was taken, but lots of people in the park next to it. Very nice area to walk around.

More Ribbon


I added more ribbon down the side this week and did more ecru in the middle of the skirt. Lots of light color. As of this week, I've rebuilt my rotation and have worked on all ten items in it. Now to keep up the pace!

All But One


All the points but one are done on the compass. It's coming along pretty well, though after this picture I saw a mistake rather far up in the lower curve below the W. So I spent a lot of today so far repairing it.

Filling in the Blanks


The second line's no longer, but it's more filled in after this week. On the first panel, I've gotten all the first row of color done and am working on the second and third.

Can You See Me?


The color I've been stitching most with this week on See the Stars is the Fleckstone that blends in with the fabric. I've had to be really careful with the backstitching because it's so hard to see.

Back to the Bellies



It's been a while since I've worked on this - I had to get it to Uruguay, after all. I did this week, though! I added more to the top of the second jellyfish. That part's almost done, and it's back into my (new) rotation.

Whatever Comes Back


Four months late, my Whatever Goes round robin was returned. I like the way it looks, although I've never had a verse on one of my blocks before. Thank you to all the ladies who worked on it. Now I need to figure out how to finish it into a larger project.
