Leaning Castle
I'm going to have to block this carefully once I'm done stitching. It's crooked! On the other hand, I'm getting so close to finishing I even have stitches done on the last row.
Just Fencing
I'm not showing any real garden yet, but the fence is coming along. The top is approximately half the width of the finished design.
Random Audi
This car was sitting in MallDova last month on display. It's an Audi A1, and yes, there are some on the road. For as poor a country as this place is, it's got more than its share of BMW's, Porsches, Mercedes, and Ferraris.

On The Stem
I'm on the stem now of the last flower. This is going to come down, soon, to just doing all the white background. I can't wait.
Breakfast At Pegas
When we ate dinner at Pegas as a group, I remarked that their breakfast menu looked good. The guys said that they were -not- ever going to get up early enough to go out to breakfast on a weekend. Thus, a ladies only breakfast on a Sunday morning. We enjoyed ourselves! A lot of this stuff was shared. I tried the "cottage cheese pancakes". They did have cheese in them and were served with a side of sour cream. Good, but odd to American tastes. We don't expect our pancakes to have any sour. Next picture is some kind of Ukranian dish. It was basically a very thin layer of scrambled egg rolled up and cut. Tasted just like it was, too, but very pretty presentation. The other ladies had eggs, tomatoes and cheese, but I'm not much of an egg person. The baked camembert at the bottom was sooo delicious, though, and so artful! The red is a raspberry coulis and the fruit is pears. Definitely something to have again!

More Color Homework
Another whole set of squares to do with different color schemes. Done with all but one. I think I'll make these into biscornu. The pattern is a freebie from a French blog.
