I bought these when I was working in Krakow in March. They're pretty, but the beaded ones are really fragile. They keep falling off the earring hooks!

Little Mandalas
Little silver mandala earrings. I have several different ones with same shape, different pattern. Kind of my go to style.
Resin and Pine
Little resin earring pair that I got when we visited Wroclaw. I think they're pretty with the pine cone bits.
Make Stuff May #6: Cottage Garden by Beaks and Bobbins
I bought this when I went to York to visit Dawn. So it only took me a year and a half to start it... it should be a fairly quick finish, I hope.
Make Stuff May #20: Christmas Peace Ornament by Joan Elliott
Cutting out a lot of stitching on this by having a blue background. Should be finished in time for Christmas.
Make Stuff May #26: Bite Me! Fur by Ink Circles
Yet another Ink Circles start. This one has quite a bit to do on it, so probably won't see the light for a little bit.

Local Buy
Bought all this from Coricamo, an online store here in Poland. Which means I get 23% tax back. A lot of it's in my "to start next" jar to pull out.

Make Stuff May #23: Birches by cozyblue handmade
This will be a -lot- of running stitch. It's started, though. In fact, I've picked it up as my daily stitch at the moment. Should be done in a few days.
Make Stuff May #25: Aroma of Summer by Luca-S
Evidently I also started this a few years ago, so I will have two copies. It's started now. Time to work on it.
Malbork Castle Walls
We took Andreas' parents to Malbork castle because it's one of those great historic places most people don't know about. We went last year, and Andreas still hasn't given me the photos from -that- visit. So here are the castle walls. All of this was rebuilt in the past 40 years or so, as it had been bombarded heavily in WWII.

Make Stuff May #27: Red/White Bird by Cosmo
Andreas shifted this photo way into yellow. The background is blue and the thread white. But it's started and should be cute as it gets done.
Make Stuff May #28: Teal Argyle Mini Bauble by Eye Candy Needleart
Another little ornament from the set started. These should be quick stitches when they're worked on next.
Slowly I Border
Little bits of border done. At least I'm doing some of the inner extra stitches at the same time to get them done. I feel so slow.
Purses and Smalls
I am currently using the red purse. Will be switching out in a day or two. Lots of littles that I use for different things. too. The festival bag (front purse) is too small and has a snap closure instead of a zipper. I carried it briefly, but will only use it when I am not carrying much at all and in an area without a lot of pickpockets.

Make Stuff May 2024 #2: September by Luca-S
This will have a bunch of sunflowers eventually. Right now, I'm happy I flipped the chart the right way after a couple of stitches.
French Snacks
Nothing really spectacular in here. Will be going to France in October, though, so I will try real snacks.
