Been Branching

I've been working on the branches and background on the left.  Almost halfway done with the first pages.

Final Borders

This is the full size of Marsh Meadow.  I only need  to finish the last border bling.

Little Flowers

This week, it was all about the little flowers inside the fence.  Got them all done!

Insides Begun

From now on, I will be working with mainly shades of blue.  Smaller areas to fill in, so progress should at least feel quicker.

Nearing Halfway

I am just about done with the top halves of the two pages of the chart.  It looks like the bottom halves have a lot most stitching, though.  The stem on the far left is almost to the bottom of the design.

Dinner At Carmelo's

 Carmelo's is a hard to find restaurant in downtown Chisinau that specializes in Italian food.  It's bright and shiny and the food is ... meh.  The chicken salad was the best part.  It had a lot of chicken in it and some taste otherwise.  The pizza margherita was a disappointment.  It was just plain bland.  More sauce or some basil leaves on the top would have done wonders.  The cappucino was average.  Since this was a spouse's dinner, I won't be dragging Andreas there any time soon.

Almost E'd

All I've worked on is the E.  It's getting there, though.  One more session and the letter itself will be done.
