Temari for Adriana

 I gave temari to all my Uruguayan girlfriends before leaving.  This is the one I made for Adriana.

Espresso Set

It's to go with the cafeteria.  This is what happens when the movers don't finish on time...

Formula Three

One of the local cobbling companies sponsors a Formula 3 car.  It races the Argentine circuit, which usually has two events a year in Uruguay.

Half a Heart

Started on the fourth of six? parts of this.  It's definitely getting more done.

Found at Last

 I've been wanting a cow fur purse well... since before I got here.  Andreas was pretty adamant in his "no" because he hates them, but eventually I wore him down to a position of "Okay, one.  But I have to approve it so it's not too ugly."  We've been searching for three months or so now, and finally I spotted the perfect one at a leather stall in Parque Rodo on Sunday.  It's mine now!  Rather a classic design and not overly loud.  I like it.

Starting Early

So, the playground is to make Betsy cringe.  It's pretty bad, safety-wise.  The next shot is of some of the shops about, and the rest of the series is a little girl on a mechanial bull.  They start early here.  You can rent them for birthday parties...






A Stripe

One more stripe done!
