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.

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.










 

All the Plaques

Memorial and dedication plaques at the Airborne Museum.

Praha Food Tour

Last September we went on a food tour on the other side of the river here in Warsaw. Praha is the new, hip, place to live. First stop was a nice little bakery/breakfast place.
