Crazy January #4 - Cupa

A start and a finish in the same day.  Yay!  I think it even came out pretty well.  

Stitching's Done

Time to put this biscornu together.  I might try to in Vienna.  Happy with the way it turned out.

Alcoves and Bridges

Photos of some of the details in the high courtyard of the castle.









Downtown

This is pretty much downtown Luanda.  As you can see, it's sparkling and beautiful.  Not.  A -lot- of people live within the downtown area of the city; there are many deteriorating apartment buildings.  Many even have raw sewage running out.

Crazy January Day 3 - Purple Grace

I truly want to do more crewel and surface embroidery.  I hope I can do that.  This is a promise to myself.

Crazy January Day 2 - Tiny Periwinkle Flower Sampler

I've got a pretty good start on this.  The problem is time.  I have less and less time it seems.

Almost Home

There's a hospital we pass after the construction and gas station, and an always-busy gas station.  You can fill up your tank for under $10.  The hospital, by the way, is the military one, and publicly funded.
