Day 4 of our Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Reflection ended up being a formal night. It was originally scheduled for our first day at sea; but given the rough waters that day, they pushed it to our second day at sea. Unfortunately, Mike decided to pass on our formal-night dinner in the Opus dining room as he wasn't feeling well; but I enjoyed a lovely meal with the two Australian couples that were our tablemates for the duration of the cruise. After I snapped a group photo of both couples -- Wendy & Laurie Jorgensen and Garry & Pam Monteith -- Wendy offered to take a photo of me and the Monteiths with my camera. So here I am in formal dress (not that you can really tell, since it was black) between our new friends Garry and Pam.

My 2nd flimsy made with 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain in 2010. I finished this also, but don't know if I have a photo of it finished.

These coiled mats are made from scraps of fabric wrapped around a cord. I like using different shades of the same colour in one mat--aren't these teal blues great?
Given a range of subjects to pick from, I think it fair to say this wouldn't have been one I'd have picked for myself. It's done though, and today's model was rather tasty.

Proverbs 9:1-6
"Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks sense she says, "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.""
Tried doing an HDR of the table setup as the candle was lighting things just perfectly but I couldn't get it to work so settled for this one. I know the candle is blown out but I didn't have the time to try a bracketted exposure. I liked this one in black and white.
Ink on white napkins.
We make these colored napkins daily for our two sons' lunches. They are both in grade school. We started these with our first son when he began first grade (5 years ago). These napkins have become fun to share with their tablemates, classes, and teachers.
Star Wars and the Simpsons are a particularly popular request by our sons!

Day 10 of our Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Reflection marked our second and final formal night in the Opus dining room. Mike had missed the previous formal night as he was feeling unwell; but happily, all six members of our table made it to the final formal-night dinner. With everyone dressed up for the evening, I thought it was a good opportunity to take a few photos. Here, Wendy and Laurie Jorgensen smile for the camera. We really enjoyed chatting with both of the Aussie couples at our table; we certainly lucked out with such a friendly and interesting group of tablemates!
