Leaf It Alone

I only worked on the leaves this time.  They're growing!

Art And Wine

 It was pointed out to me that old Moldovan wine presses are unusual in that they have rectangular instead of round receptacles.  Not at all sure of the reason for the difference, but it's there.  The rest of these pics are of the wine collection and the art interspersed with it in the cellar.  Note the "stained glass" windows.  They're actually wine bottles....

Almost Buildinged

I almost have all the buildings done for the final corner.  Even if the picture is rotated a quarter turn, you can see the progress.  Yay!  Getting closer to getting parts five and six done after being stuck on them for what? A year now?

Cornered

One corner done, three more to go on the outlining bit.  I -will- get this done soon.

Curving Along

I've just been filling things in and seeing the curves in the snowflake.

Bits Of Hair

I've started a different approach to stitching this, as I've been going through a lot of untethered areas so far.  I'm afraid I might be getting off a stitch or two, so I'm going to go from places I already stitched.

Getting Around Underground

 We were a large enough group at Cricova, and had arrived in more than one vehicle, that we were able to ride in the underground trolley.  Although it was covered, the trolley was open on the sides.  The place was cold, especially with the wind!  We got to see a lot of barrels.  We also got to see some mosaics.  The cellars are much more finished and polished than the ones at Milestii Mici.
