Creative Interpretation

 The Rogerses gave us this pair of art dolls for Christmas.  They picked the woman first because she's got yarn all over, and then the man for her husband.  They're supposed to represent, symbolically, Andreas and myself.  I didn't know Andreas was so hairy!  They're not supposed to look like us, I was told.  The dolls were made by an artist here in Moldova.  They're cute!  Thank you Heather, Chris, Kathryn, Joshua, and Courtney!

Pole To Pole

I decided to work on a pole to pole design, and this is the beginning.

Starting The Climb

I've started climbing up the left side now, balancing things out.

A Neat Beading Site

I don't normally send people to sites, but I figured there are some beaders who read my blog, and I've been fascinated by all the spiffy beading projects I've been seeing at biserok.org.  It's a Russian language site that has a LOT of beading going on.  Check it out if you're interested.  And remember, google translate is your friend.

Cracker From Sarma

 Here's the cracker I received from Sarma, full of goodies.  Thank you Sarma!

A New Kiku

 I decided to try a staggered kiku.  Here it is with most of the top half done.

One More Ornament

 I finished Renoir from Kick Back and Stitch into an ornament.  Andreas insisted I keep it, so this one stays at home.
