Lots of Argyle

What's an argyle pattern in Moorish archtecture? I don't know, so it's argyle. And there's a lot of it in this piece.

 

Street Scene Framed

The backstitching made all the difference. It's also been gifted to its new owner.

 

Another Sewscription

I have so many fabrics and patterns from this subscription box. I truly need to start doing them, but work and Andreas' absence have been in the way.


 

Explaining Bonaparte



Maps that explained Bonaparte and his conquests before Waterloo. Plus big portraits.




 

Find the Puppy

Where'd he go?

 

Into the City

Outside of the guard rooms, nothing was truly finished in the excavations. They go on for miles, and some connect with each other. But they're not finished off. It was hard and brutal work with very little in true mining equipment. The Poles have done a good job showing what was what, though, with researchers having been filmed and put into holograms to explain things - in English and Polish.

Wandered Again

A repeat stitch. I keep coming back to this one because foreign service life....

 

Another Flower Complete

My big flower looks really good, I think. A bit more on flowers to go.

 

A Bit of Stone

The panda looks like a red panda now and the face looks cute. But it needs to get more of the background done.

 

Working on a Trunk

My whole pond is done and the pagoda is mostly done. Time to start working on the rest.

 

Got a Gusher

My needlepoint oil derrick is done. One more down on my 12 days of Texas Christmas. 

 

Small Backpack

A half a backpack and a teeny tiny wallet.


 

On a Cloudy Day

We visited Westerplatte on a very cloudy day. The photos are somewhat brooding because of it.











 

Lots of Red and Black

The main floor of the Waterloo museum has walls painted red. I guess that's fitting. A lot of paintings and readings in it, too.







 

Puppies on the Road

Out on the road with friends while Chad ponders his choices in life.
