Winter Bazaar Ambiance

A few pictures of the annual Winter Bazaar here for the International Women's Club.  The fruits were carved by the Italians, and I thought were just a bit ostentatious for the place.  The stage had occasional performances, but mainly was used to pull raffle tickets for a bunch (like 100) of different things donated by local businesses.  The last picture is of the crowd.  It was packed!  Next year, I'll know what I'm getting into.

Beginning to Wonder...

It will probably be a couple of weeks more before I do it, but I'm beginning to wonder if I should just buckle down and finish this in one more session.  The big middle band is almost done, and all that's left is the small floral circle at the bottom.  Of course, I don't have a Nook or Kindle to put in it...

All Bordered Up

Time to fill all the shapes in.  It's been an easy project when I've kept my counts straight so far.

Another Dinner at Seasons in MallDOVA

Late in November we ate dinner at Seasons Bistro again.  This time Andreas wasn't already feeling sick.  I had soup and salad; we shared bruschetta before that.  Andreas had a pasta cooked in a bag for his main course.  The pasta was pretty bland, but everything else was pretty good.  

Little Bits

When a piece is this big, it's hard to tell where progress is made from week to week.  The whole top outline is done on the top left now, and  I'm beginning to go down the side.  On the bottom left, there's still a bit of the top row to do, but a lot of skeleton bits are done.

Bringing Down the Sky

Halfway through the background.  I'm almost done!

Simple Triwing

Our language teacher's favorite colors are brown, red, and green, so I made her this temari for Christmas.
