Filling More

Still filling in the background on the left and getting a bit of branch done.  It's coming along.

An About Time Finish

After a couple of years, Oriental Courage is finally done.  It's my first Heaven and Earth Designs finish, too!  It's for Andreas, so I think we'll turn it into part of a netbook cover or something similar.

Down To One

I'm finally down to the last building on the bottom.  Yay, I am getting so much closer!

Squared Again

I could stop here if I wanted, but there's more yet to do.

Starting In

I've started finishing up this piece.  Hopefully, I can get it done fairly quickly, since it's almost done.  One problem is that the colors are so very close together looking.  Luckily the flosses are presorted and labeled.

A Bit More Gold

This is Jacqui's block for the Fool's Gold round robin.  I had a hard time thinking of what to do with it because it's already very busy  with the fabric patterns and because it's already got so much gold on it.  I did manage something, though.  It looks even busier on the bottom than when I started.

Greeking It Again

 The McCues wanted Greek food a couple of weeks ago, so we took them to El Greco.  We don't mind going there often.  I tried a different soup - the ciorba.  It had a fried egg cut up and put into it plus more noodles than zeama.  The usual gyro and Greek salad for Andreas, and I had the kiftedakanas (spelling's bad, I know).  The little beef and lamb patties tasted really good.  We weren't able to stay very long, as the McCue children were getting a bit restless.  Luckily for the rest of the diners, we were in the back room and  they didn't disturb many other people.
