There's definite progress on the middle band. Every time I work on this, there's a good-sized chunk done.
The top half of part five is done. Now to start my plan of working on parts five an six simultaneously.
Since I still hadn't gotten my order of Ribbon Floss, I started in on the background. All the letters are stitched, and I decided to do a scotch stitch to fill the rest in.
Almost two weeks ago, we went downtown and stopped in on the outdoor art show. Found these from the same artist and bought them. The top one is a picture of the main square in town. The bottom is the tower at Orhei.
There are a few more leaf beginnings but not much else this week. Well, actually, there is more color on the flower, too!
One of Moldova's few exports is wine. This place, Chateau Vartely, is one of the major wineries. The company is trying to make itself into a venue for tourism, too. None of the grapes are grown at this site, but they do have three cottages for overnight rental, a very nice wine tasting area, and a beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately, it's pretty much in the middle of no where...
They do have a lot of weddings and receptions there, though.
It seems I'm in a very, very red phase on this at the moment.
