Progress Attained

I feel like I'm making progress on this! I've got quite a way to go, but I'm at a different area than gown and stripes now.

Joy - Stitch Maynia #14

The blue at the bottom is not part of the design. I'm reusing a piece of fabric. The design was a freebie from Banu, who had to close her business because of a change in Turkish business law. 

Colorado Snow

We went to visit the Lehtinens in Colorado while on home leave, and Colorado responded by snowing for us!

More Ossuary

This is more of the Fontanelle cemetery. You can see from some of the window shots that it's just a building. The building is on the grounds of a church and has very little underground.

Dragged This Up

This is Knightmare, from a stitch maynia a few years ago. It's a pretty big project, so it's up in the rotation for a bit.

Fontanelle Cemetery

This place is in the middle of a middle class neighborhood, older neigborhood. It's literally a hole in a wall. The cemetery was built because of a cholera? epidemic in the late nineteenth century. The dead were brought here because there was no where to bury so many. Over the years the bones have been arranged and tended to, and there are several chapels. It's just weird.













Sad Puppies

Grayson and Carol see the suitcases and are sad. They are sad because, on the trip they are looking at, we were gone six weeks. We missed them too. But we have an excellent dog sitter.
