Outlined

The main area of the big band is all outlined.  Time to start filling in.

Bears And Bulls Meal

 Bears and Bulls is right outside the Frankfurt stock market.  We went there for dinner after the auto show, and Andreas was so very pleased to get real jalapenos on his barbecue chicken sandwich.  I had an Asian salad, which was okay but weird.  It was a very western Asian salad.  The local rose wine was insipid, but the atmosphere was pleasant.

Mercedes Extravaganza

On our Sunday in Frankfurt, we went to the last day of the auto show.  This auto show is housed in over a dozen buildings and is impossible to see completely in one day.  The place was packed, too!  I had gotten a new point and shoot camera the day before and we wanted to play around with the video option, so Andreas took these videos while we were watching the Mercedes show.  Mercedes had a whole four story building to itself at this show.  Its display was huuuuuge.  Even if you're not particularly a car aficionado, going to an auto show can get you really excited.

Nearly To The Trunk

Going to have to stitch some border soon, but it's almost to the point of adding the top of the trunk.

Starting The Second

It's time for a patchwork pumpkin.

Haribo Store Window

What you can do with Haribo!  The store also has a lot of very unusual flavors of gummi bears inside.

A Small Ornamental Start

This is the beginning of one of Mill Hill's current crop of Christmas ornaments.  Royal Capri is its name.  The piece is already as wide as it will get.  It should be pretty easy to complete.
