Cyclamen from Leonora

Leonora got me this beautiful plant. Thank you, Leonora! We miss you!

 

Ice Cider

Leonora found this for me. It's sitting in the fridge. I need to open and try it. Thank you, Leonora!

 

Birthday Agenda

Leonora gave me this cute agenda. Now I don't have to look for one for next year. I love it. Thank you!

 

Return Gifts

Leonora's mom asked her to buy some chocolates for us, so Leonora picked some of our favorites for her return to Poland. Thank you, Leonora! 

 

Birthday Gifts from the Welches

Betsy must have figured out I'm afraid of zippers and wants me to practice. I will get to start this probably over Thanksgiving week. She also made me this cute peacock backpack.

 

Case from Andreas

Andreas randomly bought me this leather case. I think I will store crochet hooks in it.

 

Quilt for Andreas

Andreas' mom made this beautiful quilt for him. He loves it.

 

Volvo Goodies

The Volvo dealer in Lithuania gave us these nice little goodies when we picked up our new XC 90. It was a good experience.

 

New Design For Me

I really like this C8 design and will be making it again very soon. This one was given to someone departing post.

 

Barbecue Table Runner

Betsy made us this table runner for barbecue season. Isn't it cute?

 

Baby Quilt

This quilt, that I had pieced quite a while ago, is finally quilted, finished, and gifted. Thank you Betsy for doing the quilting. I added the binding and gave it to the Sudame family for their new baby.

 

Potholders

We received these potholders made by Betsy for Christmas. Thank you! We are now using them; we were low. They are appreciated.

 

Pink Temari

I made this temari for Laurel before she left post last month.

 

Pillowcases

These are more Christmas presents from Andreas' parents. They match the quilts! Finally got the photos, so posting. They're comfy too. Thank you!

 

Quilt for Me

Betsy made me a quilt with a lot of Japanese fabrics! Isn't it pretty? It took me so long to post our Christmas presents because Andreas was daunted by the size for photos. I love it. Thank you.

 

Gifts for Leonora

We found a few gifts for Leonora at the wolf center back in April. She was given them when we returned.

 

Gift From Albert

I had given Albert some leftover enchiladas I had made because he wanted to try real Mexican food. He liked them and thanked me with these yummy cookies from Belarus, his home country. They're especially good with tea.

 

Valentine's Present

This was my Valentine's Day present to Andreas this year. It hangs happily in his office.

 

Gift from Tracy

New cards and coasters! Aren't they cute?

 

Temari for Karen

Karen is going to Mauritania. I thought she would appreciate something cheerful, so I made this for her to take with her.
