Down to the Last Flower

2026-05-03T03:00:00.005+02:00

Last flower started. Then a couple of blades of grass and another finish.

Six Petals

2026-05-03T02:59:00.003+02:00

Managed to get this all hooped up and ready to give out.

Flowering Along

2026-05-03T02:58:00.001+02:00

Getting much closer to being done on this. Still have a bunch of tendrils to do.

Shroomed

2026-05-03T02:57:00.003+02:00

Time to make this into something round.

Chatelaine Stash

2026-05-03T02:56:00.001+02:00

I ordered this a year before I got it, but it's here. Time for me to start another Chatelaine. Maybe once I get home.

So Much Food

2026-05-03T02:54:00.005+02:00

More Knoxville food picks. This was one of the places on Market Square. I swear I ate too much every day while there. They have a lot of good restaurants.

Mainly Grayson

2026-05-03T02:03:00.004+02:00

Puppies at home. Soon both the puppies and I will be back there.

View from Spilberk Castle

2026-05-03T02:02:00.007+02:00

Some of the views from the castle walls. It overlooks Brno.

More Tail

2026-04-18T23:29:00.001+02:00

Working on more tail. This is the centerpiece of the whole design.

Looking Cute

2026-04-18T23:28:00.001+02:00

No backstitching yet, but the red panda is beginning to look truly cute.

Working on the Spines

2026-04-18T23:27:00.001+02:00

The wing spines are coming along, and I fill in the membrane as I go. I hope to get this third page done soon.

On to the Alphabet

2026-04-18T23:24:00.005+02:00

Lots of backstitching still left on top, but time to start most of the cross stitches in the alphabet.

Texas Canvases

2026-04-18T23:23:00.003+02:00

Time to start these. They've now been in my stash for nearly a year.

More Knoxville Food

2026-04-18T23:22:00.005+02:00

Some sandwiches and some frito pie.

Sprawled Puppies

2026-04-18T23:21:00.002+02:00

Puppies sprawled out on various items. And me joining them.

Entrances

2026-04-18T23:20:00.002+02:00

Some of the entryways at Spilberk castle in Brno.

Bits of Grain

2026-04-08T04:01:00.003+02:00

I swear this skirt will end. In the meantime, I am going slowly across. At least some wheat kernels are beginning to sprout.

Dragonfly Sashikoed

2026-04-08T04:00:00.001+02:00

Sashiko, at least, seems to go fast. All the dragonflies are done and ready to be made into a pillow or a tote bag. I haven't decided which.

Still Starting the Little Building

2026-04-08T03:58:00.003+02:00

This piece is so big that it never seems like I make progress until I get a large chunk of something done. This time it's a whole house that needs to marerialize.

Cavender's Haul

2026-04-08T03:57:00.003+02:00

One of our Cavender's trips. Some of the earrings are not for me.

Fried Pickles

2026-04-08T03:56:00.003+02:00

Fried pickles and biscuits. Because fried pickles is one of the best foods out there.

Happy Puppies

2026-04-08T03:55:00.002+02:00

Mainly Carol in this set, surprisingly. And a happy Carol at that. So very unusual.

Brno's Castle

2026-04-08T03:54:00.000+02:00

We walked up the hillside to Spilberk Castle on a cold winter day in Brno. The castle has a great view of the surrounds, of course, and has a modern art museum inside - something that seems common in castles in central Europe. There was also a part about the history of the castle. And there were puppies and Christmas decorations.

Butterflied

2026-03-30T02:34:00.001+02:00

Yet another butterfly done. I seem to have a thing for butterflies. This one's now done and ready to be framed, though.

Armadillo Shell

2026-03-30T02:33:00.001+02:00

Adding to the armadillo. Did you know the Polish name for armadillo is 'panczerka'? It means little tank. I think it's apt and cute.
