More Texted

Another line of text after the whitework band done.  Time for a large chunk of cross stitch.

Thank You Betsy

Andreas' mom Betsy made these beautiful bluebonnet coasters and holder for us.  The timing is great, coming between Texas Independence Day and San Jac day, and the coasters themselves are great.  Thank you!

No Green For Now

I felt like I did something other than green this time.  Some more roof is done, as is quite a bit of the top window.  I was getting tired of green.

It's A Tree

I saw this tree at the 4.0 winery tasting center outside of Fredericksburg and took a picture.  It just looked like a lovely specimen to me - one that I'd want in my yard.

On To The Shells

I'm on to the seashells now.  There's only one big sandcastle below, but it's got a lot of detail to it.  I'm getting farther, though!

Corner And Foundation

I have one corner all backstitched now and another one started.  I also have a really good foundation of the domes here as it gets bigger.  More and more rows done; it's nice to have some small parts to work on after the last two huge ones.

My Air Moldova Bag

 One of the ladies I work with in Bacioi also makes these beautiful purses.  They're all paper that's been given or thrown away by local businesses.  This one is from Air Moldova brochures.  I love it, and that she managed to get such a beautiful repeat pattern in it.  I bought it when they came to the embassy to sell some of their crafts and earn money for the community center.
