Plugging Along

I am about done with the banner and about to work on the bow and wheat ears.  It's getting there.  Once I finish with the Purple Garden, I'll be putting time in on this every day until it's done.  My goal is to finish it before the end of the year.

One Step Left

I'm all done with stitching this except for the backstitching on the edges.  One more Crazy January I'll be able to cross off.  Even though I've finished less than half of my starts from January this year, I'm still planning on doing the same next year.

On to the LeMans

Our reason for going to the Grand Prix wasn't the Indycar race - it was the American LeMans.  LeMans is an endurance race, and there are several classes of cars on the track at the same time.  The race was on the 3rd of September in the afternoon.  









In the Mail

This is now done and off to its future owner!  It was mailed a week ago.  For some reason, outgoing mail is only sent from here on Thursdays.  The ornament was a quick enough stitch, and I think it came out pretty well.  I hope Ing likes it when it gets to her.

More Leaf

Still working on leaves.  At least they're getting bigger and I am getting more comfortable with working basketweave from a chart.

Springtime Daisy

This wrapped ball had been staring at me for a couple of months.  I didn't know what to do with it with this color.  It reminded me of the spring sky, so... I made it into a spring flower.  I think the daisy came out pretty well for a first attempt at making up my own pattern.

Wheels Go Round in Circles

More pictures of practice.  I think Andreas was getting better with practice, too, on taking the pictures.
