A Pretty Poppy

Pretty poppy all stitched up with beads. Now to make it into something. Should I make an ornament or frame it?

 

Making It Purple

Time to get this puppy done and make it a rich, deep purple.

 

Bottom Seen!

Yes, I've hit the border of the dress. Only about 80 rows to go now.

 

Not Too Late

Little ornament all stitched and ready to be made to hang on a tree.

 

Some Stash

Things I bought when I went to In Stitches and some other places during training.

 

Food with Andreas

Andreas bought ALL the charcuterie stuff when we were in Virginia for my training. So we ate a bunch of dried meat and cheese. But we also went out for food. This was at the Social House in Clarendon, right around the corner from our hotel. Food was decent, but the french dip was weird.

 

Found a Stable

A small stable next to the restaurant at the Waterloo battlefield.

 

Pumpkin Sculptures

All of this is in the botanic garden in Wroclaw. Yes, we found it accidentally. And it had pumpkin sculptures done by the biology and art students of the university. Plus some other pretty views.

 

Working on Hope

Hard to see the beading there, but it's on the fabric. Looks so much better in good lighting.

 

Time to Add Beads

Waiting for a few more beads to bling this out.

 

Big Flower Number Four

Working my way across on this. I still like it every time I work on it.

 

Making Legs

Wandering my way down the froggie's legs. Almost to the feet.

 

Park Signs

Park entrance for Wola national park. Taken on our way back from the bison.

 

Ukrainian Winter Gear

Andreas sent me a lot of winter gear made by an NGO that employs internally displaced people and war widows.

 

Battle Diorama

A diorama of the battle of Waterloo itself, laid out in a huge area.
