Little Parachutes

I think these dandelions turned out beautifully. I think I am going to keep this one.

 

Bee Gifted

This is all framed up and gifted to Basia, who worked for Andreas until she retired last month.

 

Catching cozyblue Up

cozyblue shipments so far this year. I need to get stitching more.



 

Another cozyblue Hooped

This one looks kind of neat now it's all hooped.

24 for 2024 #24: Koki Drawstring Bag by qh Textiles

Getting a bit of this done. it should go fairly quickly once I get back to it. My only concern is running out of thread.

 

Last Box, I Think

I believe this is the last of my Black Needle Society boxes. As you can see, this one had a bunch of extras and little stitchy goodness.


 

Baby Afghan

Another afghan done. This one doesn't yet have a home. I am sure it will soon.

I know exactly who this is going to because Badger, Badger, Badger.

 

Afghan for Madelynn

Another baby, another afghan. This is for Madelynn, Andreas' cousin's daughter. I hope she enjoys it.

Zenpop January

Lots of art supplies in this one. Now I need to find time to do art.

 

Talk About Disappointing

The January Yum Box was from ... Poland. Where do I live? Poland. So it had nothing special for me.

 

Yarn for Babies

The embassy is having a baby boom. I will be using these four skeins of local yarn to make two of the baby afghans. The solo blue skein is a bonus freebie.


 

24 for 2024 #1: Morning Glory by The Drawn Thread

I've officially started one of the kits from The Drawn Thread that I bought in Wales last October. Yay! And I think it'll be pretty.

 

24 for 2024 #17: Moonlight Swirls by cozyblue handmade

This little piece is definitely going to be a keeper when it's done. It'll take quite a while to get done, though.

 

24 for 2024 #3: One Thread Two Ways by Napa Needlepoint

I started this and just went on until finished. I think I will make it into a bookmark.

 

Diverso Lunch

This pizza restaurant is the little brother of the Michelin starred restaurant next door. Andreas took me here for lunch. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than other pizza places. It's also right next door to the Sejm, so it gets a lot of politicians. Pizza and salad were very good, but the pickled onions were pickled in something too sweet for my liking.

24 for 2024 #4: Little Blue Mitten by Napa Needlepoint

Needless to say this isn't going to be blue. Cuff's almost done. The mitten part will be bigger bargello.

 

Lunch Out

There was nice weather on a Friday, so Andreas took me out to lunch. This place is about a ten minute walk from the office. It's good, too. Right on Plac Konstitucja, it's called U Szwejka. We split a schnitzel and each had a soup - he had zurek and I had gulash. Both were nice and warming. We had leftovers, too.

Sooo Tired

Grayson lays under Andreas' desk and pouts when Leonora is gone. 

 

Skunk Pillows

My little skunks are all finished up now. These were the materials from the kit that came with. They look cute.
