Awesomesauce

This is yet another medieval festival find.  Isn't the dragonfly beautiful?  Now I have to figure out a reason to get to wear this to work soon.  Hmmm....

Breaking Past

I am finally breaking past the bottom of the top page into the one next down.  That's got to be progress!  I do think the peacock's looking pretty good with the addition of a bit of blue.

Working On The Stable

The supports for the stable are about done on the left side now, and I got more done on the second building, too.  In other news, the roof of the bottom left stable is getting backstitched.

Tiny Shop In Rouen

I found these at a tiny shop in Rouen close to the cathedral.  It was so crowded with stuff it was hard to look!

Small Start

This is the beginning of Intermezzo Sampler from Periwinkle Promises.  I decided to do something small for the empty space in the rotation.  It shouldn't take too long (says the one who finishes everything slowly).

Christmas In July

I received these two beautiful little Christmas ornaments in exchange.  Jessica made them and she did a great job!  Now I need to wait until November to hang them around my central arch.  Thank you Jessica!

Mont Saint Michel Buys

Yes, we went all the way up to the top of Mont Saint Michel.  The climb wasn't as bad as I remembered, especially since we went early in the morning when there were fewer people.  There was a strike, too, so we didn't have to pay any admission except for parking.  It was a somewhat cloudy day, which also helped make it more pleasant.  While there .... I have a new book for recording my daily stitching once the one I'm using fills up.  Andreas has a new 3D puzzle of Mont Saint Michel, as will Sean when I send it to him, and I bought some cute abalone shell pendants.  Surprisingly inexpensive, too.
