Working On Ribbons

I've got most of the ribbon part done.  I'm thinking I'm going to take the backstitching on the right out and leave both sets of ribbon without it.  I think they look better that  way.

Beer House For Sean

Since Sean likes beer, we took him to one of the local microbreweries.  Unfortunately they were out of their dark beer.  He did like this one, at least.  The guys were hungry, so few photos of uneaten food!  I really do need to remember to take ranch dressing to this place for the fried cheese.  The stuffed and fried mushrooms were pretty good, too! First time I'd had them.

Renzoku Start

I started this temari during the teaching session a week ago Sunday.  I think it'll be pretty nice once I finish it!

Beaker

The peacock's got a beak now.  His head's done outside of backstitching, and the little white flowers are getting filled in.

Thank You Jennifer!

Jennifer M and I participated in an ornament exchange in July.  Mail being what it is here, it took a month to get to me.  It's worth the wait, though.  Thank you very much, Jennifer!  The snowpeeps are so cute!

Where I Live

Chișinău, eu te iubesc / Кишинёв, я люблю тебя / Chisinau, i love you. from PMA Moldova on Vimeo.

This is a video about where I live!  I've been to most of these places, but they really cleaned them up for shooting the video.  They also picked the least potholed streets in town.  I don't know how they found a street that good to skateboard on, but overall it's a good promotional video of Chisinau.  The first several sequences accurately portray the airport to town experience, too.

Going On Inside

 More pictures of Chateau Vartely, including where they age the wine in casks and the tasting rooms.  Sean liked the red the best. Andreas preferred the muscat.  And we got to take home all the opened bottles!
