One More Precious Gem Done

I finished this, and I think I'm going to use it, the blue and orange one, and the blue one to make an ornament.  Wish me luck!

Breakfast With Flat Stanley

 Four of us embassy wives went out to breakfast on the last day of September.  The restaurant we descended on was Seasons, and they have good breakfasts!  Their oatmeal came with strawberry yogurt, and the Ukranian pancakes were very moist and cheesy, even if they came with sour cream instead of syrup.

Flat Stanley was there for a friend's son.

Plod, Plod, Plod

I -know- I'm making progress; I just feel like I should be going faster!

New Kits

I had to go to Gemenii to pick up a zipper.  Look what I found at the same stall....

Big Dinner At Roata Vremii

On one of the last days suitable for dining outdoors in the evening, we went to Roata Vremii with friends.  Because we had so many people, we decided to do the big mixed grill.  It included pork, beef, chicken, and vegetables.  Some of us had zeama, and we had cheese placinte and dolmas too.

The food was excellent; I think Roata Vremii has the best placinte anywhere I've tasted so far.  The soup was also great.  The mixed grill could have gone a bit lighter on the eggplant and a bit heavier on the beef and chicken, but that's just how Moldova is. They are very high frequency pork eaters.

Down To The Meadow

I've got no more castle to do.  It's all down to the meadow in the foreground.

Martishor Temari

 I've been starting more temari than I've been finishing lately.  I feel so far behind on everything!  Anyway, this is a simple renzoku I'm doing, and it looks like something for the local holiday here of Martishor.  I think I might make more for that in March!
