Irised

It's done!  I've finished the Fleur-de-Lis from Laura Perin.  Yes, the class was supposedly last summer, but I didn't even start until the class was over.  I'm pleased with how it turned out and Andreas says this is a piece we're definitely keeping.

Side Done

 I finally finished the side!  The dimensions are now locked in.  I am so behind, though, that I will have to rebuy the pattern as a whole  to finish it.

Bayeux Souvenirs

 We went to the Bayeux tapestry and came back with raincoats!  Okay, they're ponchos, but it was the first sunny day after two weeks of rain.  We were trying to be prepared.  They were inexpensive and will get used.  I also got some napkins for decoupage and tea and hand towels.  Now, if only I had time to play with any of it...

I See Lobes

I see the lobes of a heart, although I think it's not supposed to look like one.

Time For The Background

Almost all of the design is stitched!  I only have beads and background to go.

Airport Lunch

There's not much else to do at an airport when you've dropped off your rental car and can't check your bags, so we took the obvious option.  We ate.  It turns out that in the bottom of terminal A of Charles de Gaulle, there are a lot of restaurants.  We chose the fancy sit down one instead of the McDonald's and Brioche Doree.  Andreas had (surprise!) the hamburger platter and I had a prix fixe lunch.  The first course of carpaccio was excellent.  The chicken was very definitely meh, but the green beans were fresh-ish.  Andreas' drink was interesting, in that it was a kind of lemonade and pineapple thing.  I had cappucino for dessert.  It was a good way to waste a couple of hours, and we were able to check our bags after finishing.

Putting Down The Wall

Since I'm all done with the houses, it's time to put up the wall.  I'll be so happy to get this corner completed, and I might do it soon.
