Snowplows DO Exist!

 If only Chisinau would take a tip from Germany - and plow the streets.  We've had nearly two feet of snow on our street for about two weeks - and yet, it's still unplowed.  Local people sometimes hire construction equipment owners to "plow" the street they live on, but this only takes the top layer off.  At least six inches of ice is what we drive on when we leave the house these days.  Treacherous!

A Little More Work

Just tje four heart shapes done on A Little Gem.  I work on it when I think I've done enough on my regular projects in a day.

Things That Caught The Eye

 Just a few things around the main square and the viktualen markt that caught the eye as we were walking.

Not So Whitework Ornamented

I finished Teresa Wentzler's whitework ornament freebie into an ornament earlier this month.  Even nonwhite, I think it came out pretty well.

Three Kikus

 Three kikus done of six.  I like the way this looks, even though it's a fairly large ball and size eight pearl cotton.

Not Much From Tollwood

Although we stayed for a couple of hours at Tollwood, and took these pictures of  the floating Christmas disco balls while leaving at dusk, we didn't take any other pictures.  It was definitely a place with a certain couple of demographics in mind - neither of which we fit.  The first was aging boomers trying to recapture their Summer of Love youth.  The second demographic was leftie college students with no sense.  This demographic was somewhat left out in the cold, as everything was expensive!  I have to say, though, that it was the only Christmas market we went to with multiple psychics and a Greenpeace booth.  Definitely not your usual Christmas fare.

Mock-Ing-Bird

I pulled this out to work on for my Christmas rotation, too.  It's small enough that I might even finish it before the end of the year.  It's Victoria Sampler's Texas Heart.
