It might be fun to try though.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you too!

I hope you find time to expand your skills there.<br /><br />Isn't the leopard terrific? He made me smile - far more than the men fighting beside him.

I am sure to pay better attention when I next see some on my travels. And I do think it may be a subliminal message; if not to take up the art of mosaic then simply to chronicle more on your many travels. <br />Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-74461413269496935752018-12-19T09:31:49.800+11:002018-12-19T09:31:49.800+11:00Oh, how lovely, Annie!

I love that Leopard in Rome. :-) I'm trying to think of any lovely mosaics I've seen -- the ones in the new Parliament House are pretty amazing.<br /><br />Something I'd really love to dive into next year is learning how to make my own clothes. I bought a sewing machine a few years back, but learning how to use it went on the back burner when I started the PhD. I do believe it's time to pull that little hankering out and dust it off. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.com
