Eight Points

I -think- this is the last temari for a little while...

The Other Purse

It's not cow fur, but it's a very tactile suede with lots of zippers and such.  And it's mine.  If our air freight ever gets here...

Copa America

 To celebrate Uruguay's participation in the Copa America, an international soccer tournament, Punta Carretas Shopping did an exhibit of this sports artist.  All the pictures represent Uruguay's national team in some way.  They're beautiful close up.  And Uruguay won the tournament while we were in Buenos Aires!

Great Big Friendship


The fourth part of the heart is done ... now on to the fifth.

Wallets!

Yet more "the movers didn't pack up quick enough" shopping - two leather wallets.  They're beautiful quality and hold up really well.  We've bought from this guy at the feria before.




Raffi's

 Yes, real Armenian food in Uruguay!  There's a fairly significant Armenian community in Montevideo, and there are restaurants dotted around the city.  One of  the best is Raffi's.  Here's a picture of some of what we ate during our last week in Uruguay.  Andreas had the cabbage rolls; I had the mixed shish.  They were good, if very mild.

Tiny Temari

This is the smallest temari I've ever made - it's less than two inches in diameter.  I used Wildflowers cotton on it, and think it came out pretty well.
