Back Home Bits Of Seasons

 On the day we got home from Odessa, we had dinner here in Chisinau at Seasons along with a nice crowd of embassy people.  Didn't get a lot of pictures, but check out the desserts!

New Start

Another teaching temari.  As you can see from the design, they're getting more advanced!  This is a C8 with extra markings, and I've only done one of the kikus so far....

Placemats!

Betsy made these beautiful placemats and napkins.  Whenever possible, I prefer the cloth to paper.  These are already getting used.  Thank you, Betsy!  They're lovely!



Archaeological Museum Part 3

 What archaeological museum doesn't have an Egyptian room?  Not this one1  Local university professors dug in the Valley of Kings in the 1970's and came home with a whole room full of finds.

Dawn Of Spring Done

Another finish, and a somewhat big one.  It's Friendly Stitchers' Dawn of Spring, although I did leave out the part t the bottom that says "wrought by my hand".  I'm really into adding things like that to samplers.  I like the way there are some specialty stitches in it, but am still not fond of the birds near the top.  I have no idea what I'm going to do with it.

Still A House

Hard to spot the progress, but I promise it's there.

More Archaeological Museum

More Greek and Roman artifacts.  There's even a clay pigeon.
