Checkpoint Charlie

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








 

Fab Fit Fun Spring 2025

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.

25 for 2025 #10: Key of Happiness by Andriana

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!

 

25 for 2025 #6: Golden Brown Biscornu by Riolis

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.
