Half the Diagonals

I've got half of the main pink color done on the top ball. Needlepoint goes more quickly than cross stitch.

 

Looking Like Puddles on the Ground

The skirt is beginning to look like it puddles on the ground. Still quite a bit of skirt to go, so this is just an illusion. But at least it's getting farther.

 

Third Tree

Starting the third larger tree in the line. This project breaks into smaller ones so it feels like real progress is made.

 

Legging It

 

Now the belly is done it's time to work on the legs of this blue froggie.

Praha Food

Food on our food tour last year in Praha, the other bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw. We don't get over there often. We should. 

 

Another Snack Swap

Another snack swap from last autumn. I haven't done one in a few months. Maybe I will pick it up again once I get back from home leave.

 

Ramekin Special

Cute presentation of food from a place I don't remember! But it's cute.

 

Time for Walkies

Getting out and about in nature.

 

Lots of Loops

So very much detached chain stitch on this. But it works. Photo is truly awful, though.

 

Framing the Roof

Roof and shutters outlined now in this.

 

Blue Jay Birdie

Time to make this into a little ornament.

 

Dillo-ed

Armadillo is ready to find a home.

 

New Ukraine Canvases

It has been long enough that I've actually stitched the heart. I will start on the luggage tag soon, and it will go on Andreas' luggage most likely. Bought both of these at The French Knot in Fort Worth.

 

Last of the Dinosaurs

This is the last bit of the Technical Military Museum by Sadyba. Lots of dinosaurs. Some are still being raided for parts for the fight in Ukraine. And some sit in the field to be looked at.

 

Dinner with Mom

We have hibachi every time we're on home leave - mainly because I love vegetable tempura. So we took Mom to a little place in Fort Worth. No show, but good hibachi food.

 

The Pack

 

All the puppies lined up for pictures.

Got Hearts

Hearts are in place and it's about time to do the background.

 

Lots of Argyle

To me this is looking like the pattern on an argyle sweater. I assume that will change once I get more stitched.

 

Two Dogs Done

A canvas done. I know who it's for. I just need to put it together in the shape I want.

 

EnCrowed

All hooped up and now gifted.
