Started Down the Rhodes...

I am on the final step of specialty stitches for part four.  I just need to put Rhodes stitches in all the rectangles along the outside.  Still have a -lot- of stitching on part five, though, since I'm not even halfway through.  The other top corner gets similar treatment to what I've stitched on the left.

Autumn Warmth

One of the vendors at the Prado had these pretty acrylic scarves.  The top one I sent to my mother; the bottom is for me.

On the Downside

I am now almost half way done with this.  Yay!

Plaques from the Prado

Yes, we spent a bit at the Prado, but total purchases were under $100.  The eye plaque is one Andreas liked.  I preferred the tree.  We're not putting them up here, but will hopefully find places for them in Chisinau.  Each plaque is hand made and painted and about four inches in diameter.

Black This Time

I worked on the black part this time.  Each session, it's three or four more rows done.  I'm about halfway now!

One More Building Done

I finished the crenellated building next to the tower this week and started in on the next one. 

Another Ceramic Necklace

A great find at the Prado for only about ten dollars.  I already have another of her necklaces, too!
