Merry MallDOVA

 Despite being the poorest country in Europe, Moldova still does a lot of Christmas decorating.  These eight pictures were taken inside the main mall in Chisinau.  There are a bunch of individual booths selling everything from handmade walnut Christmas trees covered in gold spray paint to little crocheted earrings.






Over Another Line

Every time I stitch past a line, I feel like I've made a maor milestone.  I also fear that I've counted wrong somewhere along the way.

Going Green

I think this kiku on green turned out well.  It sparkles, too.

Golden Weave

It's still two kikus, but these ones are woven together.  I like the way the gold pops out on this.

Kiku Elegance

 I used a green Watercolours thread for this, and I think it came out pretty.  One more gift temari done.

Little Bits

Little bits at the extreme got extended.  They are a framework for more to come.

Cracker from New York

I received a Christmas cracker from upstate New York last week.  Isn't it pretty?
