Marine Ball Decor

 Here's what the tables looked like for the Marine Ball.  Each had the Marine, US, and Moldovan flags and every place had a program.

Last Of The Jewels

I managed to put in a little bit of work on the last of these little squares.  I think the colors look really good on black.

A Meadowing

Still creeping closer to the end of this!  I'll be sooo happy to have a 2011 crazy start off my list when this is done.

Martisor Ornament Done

Yay, I finally finished this temari!  And it's also given out as a gift already.  The Manzi-Fortisches, also known as Gunny and his family, left Moldova last Monday.  I finished ornaments for all five of them, so they have something to put on their tree if their freight doesn't get to Frankfurt before Christmas.  The whole mission misses them!  

This ornmanent is a six pointed star renzoku design with a simple obi..  It's the high contrast white and red that make it so striking.

Greening The Garden

I've added more green and some little flowers.  

A Tale Of Two Stetsons

Andreas and Brian had the only two Stetsons at the Marine Ball.  Andreas because he did the Texas  thing, and Brian because he did the cavalry thing.  The hats were definitely one of the major topics of conversation, and they both look great in them!

Gangam Style!

Yes, PSY has reached Moldova.  To start the informal, dancing part of the Marine Ball, the detachment was led by Gunny in the dance from Gangam Style.  They had a great time and were having fun.  By the end of the dance, a lot of others were on the floor doing it with them.  Great way to start off the dancing!  Thanks MSD Chisinau.
