Checkpoint Charlie

Doesn't look so intimidating now, but this is Checkpoint Charlie on a rainy Berlin day.

The grater in this is wonderful. And I'm using a couple other things too.

 

Three Months of cozyblue

Three months of cozyblue to get embroidering.

 

25 for 2025 #25: Little Hedgie by Just Nan

This will end up three dimensional, so it looks kind of weird now. The idea is a hedgehog. And the black is its nose.

 

25 for 2025 #11: Large Snowflake by Mary Corbet

Almost a quarter done after one day. I need a quick stitch.

 

When Will the Skirt End?

The flagpole is ended and there are some little wheat ears, so it has to be soon, right?

 

Roadside Lunch

We decided to stop at a full service truck stop on the autobahn instead of the regular rest stops. It even had a REAL restaurant. So we ate real food. It was healthier. And the last pic is snacks from the Bonn hotel.

A second key. I bought the kits because I thought they looked cool. Now to buckle down and make them.

 

25 for 2025 #7: Honey by Mill Hill

Making a little bee magnet.

 

Lots of Arms

This thing has a BUNCH of arms, but I'm almost done with this rather dense stitch.

 

March ZenPop

My favorites - new pens to try!

 

Replaced

This box was sent by Stitchy Box to replace the one that had busted open for Christmas. 

 

March Sewscription

A nice shiny new rotary color - and look! More freaking orange fabric.

 

View from our Hotel in Bonn

We had a nice river view and the time was relaxing. Didn't get to really explore.

 

RSN Supplies

Items for my RSN class for making my design and putting it on the linen.

 

Ink Circles Gift

Received this random gift in the mail. Pretty thread.

 

Earrings from Leonora

Leonora found these beautiful earrings for me in Kosovo. I've worn them several times. Thank you, Leonora!

Another kit to start and finish. This one isn't too big, at least.

 

Bellyfull

The little blue frog in the middle now has a real belly. About time to make it full and add some legs.

 

25 for 2205 #13: Floral Moon by cozyblue handmade

I need to get my imagination on to finish this one. It shouldn't take long.

 

Overnight at the Airport

Picking up friends who flew in and watching the planes go by at the Cologne-Bonn airport.

 

Bought in Estonia

Honestly, we went to the art store to buy a french curve. We did find one, but also these ...

 

Zenpop March

This one has some stuff I am already using in it. I really buy these for the pens, paper clips, and stationery paper.

 

White Elephant

Consular had a white elephant and I was out of tea!

 

25 for 2025 #12: Diamond Dewdrops by Nova Sloboda

Decided to try something different. We'll see how it goes. Lots of beads.

 

Lupined

All the long, skinny flowers are done. Not much left on this - just the butterfly.

 

Down the Edge

The right edge of the big house is done. Starting the small one next to it.

 

Another Better Meal

This was lunch at a little Asian place not far from the hotel in Berlin. Tasted good on a chilly, rainy day.

 

Squirrel!

This squirrel taunts Grayson all the time.
