Magela made this lovely placemat for me and gave it to me the first time we met! The ribbon embroidery's sooo pretty and looks even better in person. She is one of my temari students and is making great progress.
Still all brown again this week. Some more of the ribbon and some of the skirt got done too. I -am- working on the bottom skirt border at least.
I am still working on the fifth jellyfish. There's a lot of work to do on the tentacles downward. Lots of color changes, too.
Still working on the last row now. The end is in sight.
Here's the package I got in the mail last week. Nancy wrapped it in quilting fabric, which is impossible to get here. Love the color, too.
And here is the insides! Lots of lovely threads and a beautiful biscornu and a great bookmark. Thank you Nancy! This was part of the Friendly Stitchers secret summer biscorno exchange.
It's getting more baglike as I start in on the third side. And it's getting more done! Yay, maybe I'll finish it before the end of the year.
Last week when I went to her house, Ana gave me this lovely fob. I'm going to use it on my temari scissors; it seems appropriate! Thank you so much, Ana.
Correction: Ana tells me that my Spanish wasn't up to the job last week and I misunderstood. The fob is actually from Adriana, whom I have not met. I was supposed to meet her and some others at La Pasiva downtown last week, but the weather was awful and my asthma was acting up. I can't wait to meed Adriana in person so I can tell her how much I appreciate it!
