Dark Picture

The picture's bad because it was not taken with the usual camera and processed in the usual way.  It happens on vacation!  As you can see, I'm now working on the bottom scrolls.

All Stitched Up

I finished the stitching and started putting together the scissors fob.  It's going to get done on time!

Done With The Second Band

Evidently, I went ahead of where I was supposed to be and made spiderweb roses in the diamonds.  The symbols were there!  Instead of using all floss, though, I used silk ribbon for the weaving.  Despite the lack of quality of the picture, it looks neat in person.

A note on picture quality and lack of daily posts: I have been traveling for the past week and a half, and will be for the rest of the month.  It'll take a bit to get back on track once I land back in Molova on the second.

Back To Berlin

I am back to the Berlinwork sampler.  It's been a while because I had to put it aside to finish the Mighty Oak sampler.  Feeling good about getting back to it.

Beflowered

The flowers on this middle square are about done.  It's time to work on getting the scrolls all squared up.

One More Midnight Fantasy

Kathy's block came to me a little bit low on flowers for a garden block, so I added some broderie anglaise ones; big, bold roses.

Montecastro Restaurant

This place is located on the two lane "highway" between Chisinau and Orhei.  It's a red brick building on the outside and this lovely place inside.  The fish tanks separate the booths, and it's a lovely idea.  Each booth is also separated from the main dining area by a curtain and looks out onto the back countryside.  Like practically all Moldovan restaurants, the price is reasonable.  Montecastro serves traditional Moldovan fare.
