More Feathers

I can definitely tell the progress every time, and the peacock is coming along well.

Homemade Ajvar

My language teacher's mother gave us some of her homemade ajvar (on the right) and ketchup.  The ketchup is more like tomato sauce, and I will use it as such.  Ajvar is a red pepper paste.  It's a popular condiment here, and I thank her very much!

Afghan for Isabella

The Bartletts had their baby this month, and this afghan is going to Colombia to greet them when they get back home.  I said no pink, so they picked orange.

Done And Beaded

Yay, I have a finish this month!  It didn't take too long to do.

Snowdropping

I've got the second box done outside of outlining.  Once I'm done outlining the second box, I'll add the beads for the poinsettias.  For now, I'm happy I'm progressing.

Rainy Saturday Lunch

I posted on facebook when we were at this restaurant.  The music was a woman's soft jazz cover album where she covered songs from Black Sabbath, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, and so on.  NONE fit her voice or style, so it was torture.  That's too bad, because the food was good and fresh.  Everything was made in house and tasted good.  Might go back again, as it's next door to the Italian grocery store, but we'll check what's playing music-wise first.

Butterfly Wings

As an artifact of what I've stitched, the mandala looks like it has butterfly wings.  I'm sure as I stitch more, they'll go away.
