I Don't Trust The Cherubim

This is the choir stall of the abbey St. Etienne in Caen.  The cherubs look downright evil. some of  them!  I don't think I'd trust myself sitting by them for a long, boring mass.

Blackwork's Done!

I finished three things last week, go me!  This was one of them.  I have no idea what I am going to do with it now, but it's off my crazy January list and completed.  I really should have used a different thread color.  Lots of it looks faded out.

In The Sanctuary

The city of Caen never decommissioned the church that sits in the abbey, so it's still a sanctuary.  The place has been rebuilt after World War II and looks good.  Lots of pretty stained class and much light for the architecture.

Blossomed Out

My Apple Blossom from Nicola Jarvis is done!  I think it looks pretty good.  The piece wasn't a bunch of novel or new stitches, but it was relaxing to do.  Now to send it to its recipient.

Half A Medallion

Half of the middle part of village square is done.  I do like my color choices on this!

Telling Time

Some photos of the inner area of St. Etienne, the Men's Abbey.  I love the clocks and the perpetual calendar.
