Filling In Diagonals

Little boxes to fill. I officially hate Very Velvet. It breaks when you look at it. Nothing lasted more than four inches, not even getting it off the card.

 

One Petal at a Time

One petal at a time and this will be done.

 

Back to Sashiko

Decided to pick up the sashiko bag project and finish it. Back and forth. Back and forth.

 

All Framed Up

All the borders done so I can do the fun part now.

 

Royal School Project

I started the Royal School of Needlework's Certificate and Diploma course in January. We didn't even get stitching until March. This, I designed. I need to get better at design. But it's started. It looks a bit dark in the photo.

 

Panda Face

Yay, totally completed face and now on to chest and back.

 

Fry Up in a Cup

Evidently this is the kind of thing Polish workers ate during lunch in Communist times and before. It was a stop on our Praha food tour. The white is potatoes. There was bacon and some other stuff in it too.

 

Minis and a Tote

Little minis and a tote. The brown mini is good; I have three in the blue. And a bunch of littles.

 

Resin Pendant

The employee association had someone come in to teach us how to do resin pendants. It was about $75 each person. While I learned how to do it, the teacher didn't even bring chains or earring findings for the pendants. Not professional.

 

Vehicles at Airborne Museum

They took vehicles with them, the airborne did. Sometimes they even went down -in- the vehicles.

 

25 for 2025 #24: Red Bell Mini Bauble by Eye Candy

Another mid-century bauble to get done. I've started almost all of them now.

 

Another Unrecorded Start

This is a two sided ornament from Riolis that I have forgotten the name of. It's started and in my pile to finish now...

 

Pretty, Pretty Flowers

So many varieties of flowers in this bouquet! Another gift from Andreas, and a bright addition for me to look at daily.

 

New Hoodie

Bought a new Embassy hoodie. They finally have some with full zippers.

 

Old Market

 

Praha has a lot of old buildings, unlike the rest of Warsaw. It was abandoned during the wars, so there was less reason to flatten it. We passed an old market that had been in the same place since the 1800's. Even during communist times, it functioned. Now it is withering away because of the abundance in modern Poland.

New Building

There is a new, large, hangar shaped building at the Airborne museum. It's got a lot of exhibits presented well. Here are some.

 

Cubed

I was somewhat intimidated by the finishing on this, so I put it off for quite a while. Turns out, it wasn't that hard. So I've made a cube! Looks pretty good, too.

 

Zenpop April 2025

My colleagues have teenage children, so I gave away a bit of this to them. Kept the notebook and pens.

 

25 for 2025 #19: Purple/ Magenta Square Ball Drop Mini Bauble by Eye Candy

Started another mid-century ornament. They're great quick pieces.

 

25 for 2025 #23: Peacock Feather by Coricamo

The peacock feather is gorgeous. The plastic canvas provided to stitch it on, not so much. So I changed out for some linen and have started this.

 

25 for 2025 #18: Peaceful Street by Andriana

Doesn't look like anything right now, but it's a kit and it will get done.

 

One Place to Another

Lots of unique sights on our walk from the first to second restaurants in the Praha district.
