Bits of Grain

I swear this skirt will end. In the meantime, I am going slowly across. At least some wheat kernels are beginning to sprout.

 

Dragonfly Sashikoed

Sashiko, at least, seems to go fast. All the dragonflies are done and ready to be made into a pillow or a tote bag. I haven't decided which.

 

Still Starting the Little Building

This piece is so big that it never seems like I make progress until I get a large chunk of something done. This time it's a whole house that needs to marerialize.

 

Cavender's Haul

One of our Cavender's trips. Some of the earrings are not for me.

 

Fried Pickles

Fried pickles and biscuits. Because fried pickles is one of the best foods out there.

 

Happy Puppies

Mainly Carol in this set, surprisingly. And a happy Carol at that. So very unusual.

 

Brno's Castle

We walked up the hillside to Spilberk Castle on a cold winter day in Brno. The castle has a great view of the surrounds, of course, and has a modern art museum inside - something that seems common in castles in central Europe. There was also a part about the history of the castle. And there were puppies and Christmas decorations.

 

Butterflied

Yet another butterfly done. I seem to have a thing for butterflies. This one's now done and ready to be framed, though.

 

Armadillo Shell

Adding to the armadillo. Did you know the Polish name for armadillo is 'panczerka'? It means little tank. I think it's apt and cute.

 

Adding Hearts

Almost done with the flag and started some hearts. Just need the finial and some more hearts - then time for the background.

 

Making Argyle

Working on getting the middle filled in for a bit. Then on to the right side windows for specialty stitches. Going to get this part done soon.

 

Red Squirrel

This is the squirrel that taunts Grayson on a regular basis. And one of the large trees in my back yard.

 

Giant Pizza and Fried Pickles

Lunch and dinner photos. All four of us could not finish this huge pizza. It tasted good, though. And fried pickles for dinner. Along with other stuff. But fried pickles.

 

A Picture of Each

A photo each of all three puppies. I miss them. They're in Poland. I'm stuck in Virginia for six more weeks.

 

Buildings With Clocks

A cold, clear December day with lots of clocks and buildings to look at.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #18: Tapestry by Ink Circles

I am so very far behind on everything lately. Time to get things like this done. I've been able to get a bit more stitching done lately, at least. Unfortunately, not this piece.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #17: Zingouigoui Delight by Riolis

Another intricate biscornu started. I need to finish one.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #31: Winter Glow by Mill Hill

Started the winter sky.
