This came out pretty well. I need to decide if I'm making a real ornament or putting it into a hoop.

One Wingtip
I've just about got the top spine of the wing done, and you can see the outline of the rest.
Starting the Alphabet
Beginning the alphabet in the middle while still working on the border.
Starring
Working on the stars still on this. There's a lot of stitching for a relatively small piece.
Esperanza's
We went to the South University location of Esperanza's when we were last in Fort Worth - its hours were better for us. And the food was as excellent as usual. Going back this year for sure.

Warm Food on a Cold Day
We found a very good Asian restaurant while at the Christmas Market in Brno. It was on the main square. Food was fresh and hot and good.
