So Much Inspiration

The final pot in this group is a truly famous one - it's even been on book covers. But this first, top pot is the one that caught my eye. Look at all the different borders for stitch inspiration! And the peeps!

Russian Finds

A Lithuanian company had a sale on Russian kits, with the proceeds going to Ukraine. Needless to say, I had to support this. So all this is what I got.



 

Middle Finger

The middle finger is started, along with being all the way across on the piece. 


 

Bring Back the Goyles

I pulled this up to take with me over the time in the hotel. It's time to get it done. These bottom gargoyles are the last to be done. Soon. 

 

More Flowers

Andreas surprised me with another bouquet of flowers. I love the hydrangeas! And the big green balls are actually a kind of dianthus. Thank you, dear.

 

In Death, Everyone is a Pretty Boy

The Athens Archaeology Museum has hundreds of these statues, called "kore." They are memoria for the dead. And they all have the same figure and face. Creepy.

Mugged

Another gift from my consular team at my farewell lunch. This I will use often.
