Chartreuse Background

Lots of chartreuse background, but it means I get to go quickly on this.

Relaxing In Texas

Mattie relaxing in the shade while we were in Texas.  She enjoyed being about to just sit outside, something she'd not been able to do for two years.


A Little Color

I did add a lot of brown this time, but I also added a little bit of color on the peacock himself.  I feel like I'm making some true progress, and am getting to the halfway point.

All Across

Yay, I am all the way across on my Peace Wheel!  Now I get to add a second color.

Ol' South Breakfast

Being in Fort Worth, I had to eat at Ol' South as often as possible. This time it was with Lindsay Repshas, an old friend met in Moldova.  It was great for both of us and I introduced her to Dutch babies!


Star Wars Day At The Ballpark

Andreas wanted a Texas Rangers Star Wars mashup bobble head doll.  Since he was not yet on home leave, I had to "suffer" through a Rangers game to get him one.  It was a true hardship, as Andreas picked out the ticket for me and got this awesome seat behind home plate.  Members of the 501st Legion were on the field before the game in full regalia.  It was cute to see Boba Fett annoy the head groundskeeper.  The game was great, too, and I had a good time.

Joyful World Done

I started it a year late, but finished it a month ahead of my schedule.  The piece was made challenging by the 40 count cloth.  Stitched over two in DMC threads.  It's already got a new home!
