Wonderful Whitework

Beautiful whitework at the Moldovan national museum. There are a lot of fantastic needlewomen out in the villages.

More Flaky

The snowflake is emerging from the background now.

Honey And Beeswax

One of the local beekeepers came to the embassy a couple of weeks ago.  I bought, of course.  Some beeswax figures to give away and some linden honey for me.

Moldovan And Latvian Craft

 These first three pictures are of Moldovan crafts.  The rest are of Latvian crafts that were loaned to the museum by the Latvian government for a temporary exhibition.  The belts are absolutely amazing.









About Three Inches

I have about three inches left on the bottom til I'm done.  Yay!  It shows I can do a whole big project in about three months when I put my hands to it.

Woven Rose Done

 I finally finished my woven temari.  It had been staring at me long enough.  Came out pretty well, too.

Bridged

The bottom bridge is definitely crossed; now to keep filling in the stuff on it and to get that corner motif worked up.
