Moved Over

I took the plunge and counted over to the start of the peacock's head.  Instead of gridding, I used pins and counted by ten stitches over, then recounted, then started stitching.  Color at last!

Feeling Stalled

I'm feeling stalled on this again.  Each week, lately, I make progress of only a couple of rows.  On the other hand, I'm more than two thirds of the way to done.  Maybe I'll feel like I'm making more progress when I get to turn the page in about thirty rows.

Face The Trees

Last of the tasting area pics.  At the far end of our eating area were these trees - they all have faces carved into them and are coated in thick layers of polyurethane.


Another Tiny Building

I've got one more tiny building done now.  The bottom part of the stable on one side is done too!

Wine and Song

These are the wines we drank and the musicians who serenaded us while we did.


One Yellow Blob

The yellow blob on the left is about done and getting a green stem soon.

And The Eats

First they started serving the wine, with the cold course already set out for us.  Smoked meats, bread, cheese and raw veggies.  They were serving all the different wines through this, almost rushing us through the wines.

Then they brought out the hot course- mashed potatoes, cabbage, and friptura.  Dessert was mixed fruit.
