Honour is a Good Feeling at Any Time of the Year

Ever wondered what kind of mask is featured on the monster that Worf fights in the holodeck when he's training to be a Klingon Ninja (Klinja)? That would be the first button on the left. 

Have you had nightmares about Data's arm being removed in the court when that jerk was trying to get permission to take him apart by proving he was not really a sentient being, but was instead property of Starfleet? Well, are you in luck with that middle creation! 

"Hey," you say to yourself, "what was that crazy weapon that killed the bystander when Tasha Yar went to the 'African' planet and had to fight off the ruler's First Wife in a fluorescent light-enhanced gladiatorial battle, after the ruler decided he wanted to Get With Her (in the biblical way)?"  That's right! Button number 3!  

You'd think that I would have more to show for the last two weeks, but I've actually been cheating on Star Trek with a Different Embroidery Project of an Entirely Different Nature (photos probably not forthcoming).  Hopefully these delays won't continue!

Et voila - the four most recently completed buttons. Of these, I think my favourites are the shuttlecraft and the uniform top - the other two just didn't quite Make It.  Live and Get Better, though, hopefully.



(From L-R) The first is a shuttlecraft from an episode in Season 1 that I can't remember just at the minute - my heart says Code of Honour but my Internet searches tell me otherwise. Maybe some other Nerd will recognise it and let me know. "FULLY FUNCTIONAL" is of course a key quote from (everybody's favourite episode) The Naked Now, when the Drunken Virus fills the ship, Tasha goes and steals all of Troi's most alluring scarves to safety pin into an outfit in which to seduce Data (who is apparently programmed in a variety of techniques, if you get his drift), and after the antidote is found everybody works somewhat fruitlessly to de-awkward the Bridge environment and move on to something more PG. The third button is Tasha's regulation uniform, and is a little homage to her inspired by her (SPOILER ALERT) Death By B-Movie Quality Tar Monster (that button to come!) in Skin of Evil. The final work of Art is an Eiffel Tower with a space ship in honour of We'll Always Have Paris, where Picard has to save the universe AND get over a decades-old previous heartache (in Paris, obviously). Romantic!
