Furry Cups!

 While my boss and his wife have been away, we've been watching one of his dogs, Austin.  He and Mattie get along well, and Austin likes chasing the cat.  First he has to find her, which he has done less of this second visit than the first.

After they got back from their safari a couple of weeks ago, they gave us this spiffy camp cup set.  It's got either antelope or giraffe fur for the cozy, and the whole set will go very well with our Uruguay stuff.  

Thank you Sam and Annie!


Centimeter Dinner

After having had lunch with his class at Centimeter Pub, Andreas decided we should have a dinner there, too.  We did, and it was good and huge.  I had the small chicken wings - a kilo.  Andreas had a green salad and some goulash.  We also split some cheese schnitzel.  I want to learn the Austrian breading technique.  I am enamored.  Food was good; we were among the few there actually to eat instead of have a few beers after work, so we got a bit more attention because of the bigger bill.  Centimeter's evidently a small restaurant chain in Vienna, and their gimmick is that certain dishes are served by the meter.  If you find one, go.




Still Only Green

Soon I will start other colors.  I can't wait.  Green gets boring after a while.

Brer Rabbit

Being from the South, Brother Rabbit just doesn't sound right to me.  It should be Brer Rabbit.  Anyway it's a lovely stumpwork piece I've added to my stash.

Albertina Lunch

Iulia and I stopped for lunch after art viewing at the cafe in the Albertina museum.  We both had paninis, which were freshly made and had a good frisee with them.  It was a good day.

Colorful Armadillo

My latest canvas from the Texas series arrived.

Leafy

I have one major motif done on this!  It's definitely some progress, as I've been working on this as my daily project since the beginning of the month.
