New Barrettes

 I decided I needed a couple of new barrettes a few weeks ago.  I sent several etsy links to Andreas, and, instead of choosing a couple, he bought all of them.  Now I have these beautiful barrettes to wear.  And, possibly, more coming.

Circling The Square

My circular central motif is just about done!  This one has been going quickly because I've been stitching on it daily.

Anniversary Gifts

In the middle of last month, Andreas and I celebrated our anniversary.  His parents were kind enough to send us these gifts.  I am not at all sure what the carved wooden thing is, but the pillowcases are on the bed.  Even if the Rangers did blow it completely in the post season.

One Leaf Done

Yay, one leaf's done!  Now to the others.

Going Away Present

This afghan was made for friends who moved away a couple of weeks ago.  They'll be in Virginia for language training for several months and then going to Europe, where we may see them again.  While an afghan isn't particularly good for Angola, it'll certainly help out in Latvia.  The yarn is part of my stash from Uruguay.  I finally put it to use!

Grinding Through

I feel like I am grinding through these last ten rows of confetti stitches in the picture part.  It -is- coming along; it just looks like it's not.

Last Of France

This beautiful church is currently being rebuilt after extensive damage in the wars.  It's the church for the women's abby, and is closed to the public.
