Far Horizons

This top picture is of Orhei Vechi from the north rim of the Raut defile..  The one below is another angle from the same position.  All this area is a major archaeological site, having been settled for about 5,000 years. 

Facing

I've got some of the peacock's face done now, and will have the head completely done next time I work on this.  I've also gotten a bit more of the branch background done, too.

End In Sight

Those lonely little stitches at the bottom are within ten rows of the end.  The end is near!

Not Underdog

Just above the valley surrounding Orhei Vechi, we saw our first parasailing in Moldova yesterday.  He did pretty well and traveled a bit while we were watching.  It was a pretty day, even if the clouds were moving in.

Roofing

The town hall roof on the left has been getting its ironwork.  Other than that, I've been working on some of the bottom buildings, but none are yet done.

To Rule Or Not

I was rather upset when I received this block.  It's thrice the area a round robin block in the group it's in is supposed to be.  On top of that, the owner asked for a lot of encrusting and extra embellishment.  For a smaller than usual block, that's great.  For a monsterly huge block like this, that's pretty ridiculous.  On top of that, this block is so far out of my comfort zone taste-wise that I was flummoxed as to what to put on it.  My first thought was a My Little Pony.  Instead, I embellished the unicorn and added flowery stuff around it.  I hope the owner likes this block, but I'm thinking I'm going to withdraw from any other round robin theme she signs up to that I am already part of.  Is this fair of me?

Found My 647

I found my DMC 647 at Gemenii to continue on with the sidewalk.  Did a bit of sidewalk and some wall again.  Also did some green leaves.
