A Bit More Snow

I've gotten a little bit more of the snowman done, and one of the candy canes.


Thank You Melissa!

Thank you, Melissa, for the beautiful floss and fabric!  This was definitely worth the wait and way generous.  Thank you so much!

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.
