Foiled

The quatrefoil is done.  I've got a lot of stitching done in the past week and feel good that this is moving along well.

Travel Ad?

Andreas took this marvelous photo from our boat.  It reminds me of the old 1930's travel ads.  This old trawler sits less than 200 yards from the shoreline and rusts away.

Angolan Metaphors

Angola is a land of wasted opportunity.  It's one of those places where you can see potential all around you, yet no one willing to step up and work to make things better.  These ships at shipwreck beach were towed here to finish rusting away. Many of them are rusted through.  I don't know of a better metaphor for Angola than these forlorn icons.


Pinking

I have gotten done with the middle pink!  There's not too very much to do until I'm done.  Maybe I will finish it while I'm on vacation.

We Saw Whales

Yesterday we went on a boat ride into the Atlantic.  As part of it, we went to find whales and found about a dozen.  These are a couple of Andreas' photos.


Square Jessica

I've got some swirly stitches going now.

Another Branch

On the far left, there's another branch nearly done.
