Easter Eggs

These eggs were for sale at the exhibition center where we paid to go to the monastery.  They were made in the village and are beautiful.  Completely hand beaded with a wooden core.  Together they were 160 lei (about $14). 

Orhei Vechi - Church Approach

This priest is walking out of the church with his wife, and the other pictures, along with this one, were taken on the approach to the church.  The day was clouding over.

More Sidewalk And Tree

It was nice to do more tree again.  I've got the windows on this set stitched, so it's time for a bit more variety.

One More Wine

One more wine round robin block passed through my hands.  Here's Carol's block, both before and after. 

On The Hill

 On the bottom right of this belltower is the entrance to the monk's caves.  It's rather inconspicuous.  The cross is just to the left of the belltower and overlooks the Raut valley.  And the last picture shows the distance between the old belltower structure and the new village church on the same hill.

Bricking In

Still going slowly on this.  I'm not willing to say it's halfway done yet.  Perhaps it's a third of the way.  On the other hand, progress is progress.

None Of Your

I admit it.  I'm a beeswax collector.  I have beeswax from every country I've visited.  This is the Moldovan edition (so far).  A beekeeper came to the embassy to sell her wares, and Andreas bought her out of beeswax for me.  Each of these is at least 150 grams, and they were all less than three dollars each.  They smell great, and I've started using the ladybug.  They do great for the thread too.

I'll be giving away the heart as a CyberStitchers prize.  The blog post on CyberStitchers.org regarding it will go up in the next few days.
