Most Stitches Done

Stitches on the upper half are done and most of the bottom, too. But it still doesn't look like much. Back stitching will make a huge difference in this little piece.
 

Top of the Cross

I've had this kit for about 30 years, and it's about time I worked it. So here it is. 

 

Trumpeting the Pine?

My little Angel of the Pines already has her trumpet done. She should be a quick stitch.

 

Well Started

I have a good start on my needlepoint module. The subject is a Chinese pavilion in Lazienki Park here in Warsaw.

 

Knives

When in Knoxville, we always make a stop at Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Bought less than usual this time.

 

Andreas' Request - Genghis Grill

Every home leave we go to Genghis Grill. Andreas likes putting together his own ingredients and getting them cooked for him.

 

Lots of Expressions

Lots of emotional expression in these puppy pictures.

 

Kozlovna Lunch

A late September lunch at Kozlovna, a Czech pub. Good and cheap food.

 

Practicing FInishing

Mounted this up to practice my RSN piece's mounting. Still need to do the very last part on the real piece. And need to find a frame for this one.

 

Getting More Green and Black

Put in some more leaves this time and a bit of chest. Starting on the arms soon.

 

Color of the Day - Beige

Getting more tree branch done with a shot of beige.

 

Owled

The owl is owled and ready to be made into something. Not sure what yet.

 

Snacks from Isabell

Isabell and I swapped again when I got home from home leave - so I could put some American snacks in. Here is what she sent me!

 

Old Equipment

There's a museum a couple of miles from our house that hosts a bunch of elderly military equipment. Most of it is out in the open and can be climbed on. A lot of the parts have been scavenged for some reason too.

 

Another Favorite

I can't want to go back to Joe T.'s in August. Their food is soooo good.

 

Usual Positions

All three puppies in places I find them around the house.
