Bought Beads

I needed gold beads for Superior Bees, so I bought a little bit more.



 

Three Months of Zenpop

Lots more stationery to use.



 

Close to Half Round

So very close to being halfway around.

 

On the Table

The table has a top but nothing underneath it yet. But the beeskep has something to stand on at least!

 

Winging The Back

Made a bit of progress on the back wing. Still lots of wing to go.

 

Bottle Opener Angel

A little stitch from Ink Circles with a bottle opener. Creative. And done. All threads used were from The Silk Mill.

 

Little Sheraton Touch

Every night the Sheraton Sopot leaves a little treat.

One Little Ornament Done

This was buried for a while, but I pulled it out for a quick finish. Yay!

 

Half a Star

A bit more than half my shuriken star is done. This is coming along well.

 

Outlining the Bird

Lots of outlining left to do on the bird, but it'll be done soon.

 

All Faced On

My little panda has a face! And I got to see real red pandas today. Wins all around.

 

Lion Brand Mystery Boxes

Two sets of these three yarns from Lion Brand when I bought mystery boxes. Time to make some more doggie afghans. Once I finish all the baby afghans.

 

Two More Watches

Both were on sale and are designs I don't have. So now I have more watches to wear. 


 

Pretty Flowers

Flowers from Andreas in September "just because." They were beautiful, and I love how he takes care of me.

 

Wojtek the Bear

Wojtek in Sopot from our visit in April. The whole history is fascinating. If you haven't heard of Anders' Army, you need to look it up.

India Yum Box

Since I quit my subscription several months ago, this is the last box from Universal Yum. I think I will keep skipping.

 

August Sewscription

This box is a bit less orange than the previous ones. Now to figure out what to do with the charm squares.

Uzbek Food in Warsaw

Back in July we went to Samarkand, an Uzbek restaurant in Warsaw. Had a lot of food. It was all good.









 

Back to the Branches

I am back to the tree branches on the left now. It's good to be four pages done.

 

Lots of Confetti

With that flower all done, it's time to work on the little dragon. It's full of confetti and, at some point, I made some counting mistakes. Having to clean up that, too.

 

Around The Star We Go

All my little scotch squares are compensating around the star. It's getting close.

 

The Skirt That Never Ends


I swear every time I do this skirt that it gets longer.
 

Pier at Sopot

Another pretty day at the Sopot pier.

All Matched Up

This is all matched up, yay! Now to fill in the bars. Tedious but easy.

 

Squeezed Frog

Done with the little green frog, so starting work on the frog being squeezed in the middle.

 

Working on Crenellations

Putting crenellations on the right side house as I work my way down that side.

 

To the Fan Panel

Making the top of the fan panel under the beeskep. Coming along, at least.

 

And This is the Next Afghan

I am currently making an afghan for Njomza's little baby now. She picked this yarn.

 

Afghan for Meenakshi

Meenakshi had her baby in March. She's back in the Embassy and now has the afghan I made her. She picked the colors in Zakrecone Mokti yarn.

 

PLG Littles

Best thing in this is the anjou wristlet, which I am currently using as my wallet.

 

How Boats Are Dragged

On the Elblag canal, boats go over grass to change levels instead of through locks. This is because the grade is so steep locks are impractical. There are some 15 trains? trams? on the canal that cradle the boat and take it up on train tracks. This is the apparatus used.
