Building a Wing

I'm slowly building the dragon's wing. It's gotten to the point where most spines are done and it needs to be filled in. I've also gotten to the farthest right stitch of the design.

 

Past the Pole and Almost to the Bottom

The skirt is still expanding; I've gotten well past the pole now but not started the bottom border or the wheat ears. They're coming soon, though.

 

New Earrings

Another new set of earrings from Cavenders.

 

Making a Roof

The final house has a column now and the start of a roof and shutter. Progress.

 

Almost Armadillo

Just need to finish the tail on the little armadillo.

 

At the Railhead

One of our favorite barbeque joints in Fort Worth - Railhead. I always get the same thing and it never disappoints. Can't wait to visit again in August.


 

Hanging at Home

Puppies hanging around at home and being themselves. 






 

Castle Doors and Christmas

This is the castle's courtyard with some interesting doors and some more Christmas decorations. The little exhibition was about how Brno has had a Christmas tree in the town square for many years.

Ready for the Background

All done but the background now. That's the quick part.

 

Drawing Some Rectangles

Drawing rectangles on the left and right to make them hold some Rhodes stitches when the time comes. The left arch is also more complete. Time to work on the middle and right arches.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #17: Zingouigoui Delight by Riolis

I am embarrassingly far behind on posting. This year with Andreas away has been super busy and a bit occupied. This is a biscornu with tiny! stitches. 

 

Finally Finished

Yay, it's done! And it's getting put away for a bit until I can find a framer I trust in Warsaw.



 

a couple cozyblues

Two more cozyblue kits to start soon. 


 

Ol' South Dinner

One of our favorite places - we get to go again in August. They have great fried pickles.




 

A Carol Set and Find the Grayson

An unusual set of Carol photos, and then some of Grayson hiding.








 

Inside Castle Spilberk

The castle was decorated for a Christmas light show in the evenings, so there were a lot of static displays.

Down to the Last Flower

Last flower started. Then a couple of blades of grass and another finish.
