Made a Snail

Another little piece ready to frame. I'm on a roll, finally.

 

Looks Like Spring

This is all ready to be made into a heart. It was such a quick stitch!

 

New Brand

Never used Katia crochet thread before. Going to see how it feels.

 

Compass Framed

My compass rose is all ready to give away. Got to build up my hoard before Christmas.

 

Little Well

Another little piece to put in the give away stash.

 

White Breasted

My peahen has her white breast and looks sharp. The color is too blue in this photo. I need to ask Andreas to adjust.

 

Jeff's Not Quite American Grill

The big plus was the lemonade. It was great. The quesadillas just look sad, and the burgers were overcooked and had a sauce similar too In-n-Out. Yuck. But they nailed the decor for someone going for nostalgic side of the road place.

Orange Ornament Oranged

One of my several mid century ornaments is done. Several more to go.

 

Flower Almost Finished

Little bits and pieces of this flower to fill in, but it's substantially done. True progress.



 

Made a Diamond

Yay, now all the big parts are done and I only need  to fill in.

 

Red and Most of White

Most of the white from the flag is done. This is in the rotation now and will speed up its progress.

 

A Different Setup

Andreas' peeps set up a place for him to work last visit to Krakow. The office is -tiny-. And they welcomed him with snacks, too.

 

Two Cuddly Puppies

Puppies resting on Leonora's bed as they enjoy the weather.

 

Monty Python Meets Zombicide

Of course we had to get the Monty Python expansion of Zombicide. Now to find time to play it.

 

Lunch at Chinkalia

Chinkalia is a Georgian restaurant chain in Poland; one's close to our office, so lunch is sometimes this.

Zielona Kredens Lunch

We eat lunch with Andreas' staff when we're in Krakow. One of his (and their) favorite places is Zielona Kredens (green cabinet). It's a slightly upscale, tiny milk bar. Food's good, too.



 

Lots of Zenpop

Fell behind on posting Zenpop boxes, so did several at once. I like  the glue dispenser and the cute pens the best.




 

Gift from John

Beautiful, delicious French wine. Thank you!

 

Neverending Skirt

Yup, still more skirt.

 

Reached Bottom

... and both sides match up! Victory!

 

Working on Hands

What are frog front leg extensions called? Hands? Feet? Paws? Anyway, I'm almost done with the ones for the little green froggy.

 

What To Wash?

So very close to finishing this. It'll make a good bathroom piece.

 

Pretty Sunsets in the North

In June we went to the north of Poland so we could see and ride the Elblag canal. We stayed in a village named Kadyny - 20 km from a Zabka! This was the sunset from our garden. The village had no businesses in town outside of a small bar that served zapekanki and pierogi. It was also less than a kilometer from the water. Pretty little place.

Crenellations and Flowers

Rotated a bit, but still progress to show. Almost halfway down the second side. I really do hope to finish this before the end of the year. Also, more crenellations done too.

 

Months of Yums

I needed to catch up, so this is three months of yum boxes. I -think- my subscription ended in July, but I'm not sure.



 

Almost Hived

So close to being done on the hive as I have the big picture/mirror started.

 

Working on Eyes

Working on the spots on the wings that add more color. Still quite a bit of wing to go.

 

Big Eyes

My red panda's eyes are done and looking big and bright.

 

Sheepie Baa'd

My little red sheep is ready to hang. I think he looks pretty cute.

 

Krakow Air Museum Continued







Last visit to the air museum (minus me). They've done some rearranging so you can see things better.
