Gift for Ania

One of my coworkers retired in February, so I gave this to her. She loves it, and it describes her well.

Leonora knows us well. Lego for Andreas and a bag for me. Thank you again, Leonora! We love them.

Gifts from Leonora

Leonora brought back a bunch of cute things for me from Kosovo. I have the pencil holder on my desk at work already, and am going to use the rest soon. Thank you!

 

Gifts from France

One of Andreas' employess is actually from France, even with his Polish last name. He brought back these bottles for us. Black currant wine and rum. Yay! Thank you John, it's great.

Top half of the house done now. This is on its final effort.

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

 

First Story

Now that the words are done, I'm starting the hovel. It's got a roof.

 

Shawl from Stephanie

Stephanie brought me this beautiful shawl from Ecuador. It's so soft! I love it.

 

Gifts from Stephanie

Stephanie and her children passed through Warsaw on their way home to Ecuador from Moldova. Since they stayed overnight, we took them out to Old Town and showed them a bit of Warsaw in winter. It was good catching up with an old friend. 

 

All Sewn Up

This is all done and ready to send to Betsy. I hope she likes the finished product.

 

Saint Nick Gift

Poland is one of the countries that does their stockings on December 6. This is what I found in mine at my work. Thank you colleagues!

 

Lettered

Now I get to start on the picture part!

 

Nimble Thimble Gift

She gave me a gift when I paid, including fabric to make it with.

 

Four More Letters

... and all the lettering will be done.

 

Gifts from Stela

Stela was in Warsaw for a concert and we met up. She gave me this beautiful book that I helped edit and some candies to remember Moldova. It was great seeing her again.

 

Gift from Mary Ann

Mary Ann's son is now in Poland! He brought these gifts from the Philippines for us. Thank you!

 

Gift from Andy

Andy and his wife gave us this truly awesome rude food. It's fried brown sugar and tastes great, even if it looks like it shouldn't be in mixed company.

 

Three Lines

Three lines done on this, three to go.
