Being a crafting nerd, I finally signed up for Craftistas. Here's the first kit I got. It's all about fimo and pattern and making a bowl. I had hoped to get it done within a couple of weeks of getting it, but life - in the form of work - interfered. Instead of my usual part time, I've been working full time for the month of September. No crafties for me! I'm supposed to return to part time when I get home from Krakow, so hopefully I can do it very soon.
As Andreas wasn't present, I took these photos with the phone. I apologize for the quality. Looking at the place, it's sometimes hard to believe the whole complex is less than five years old. The site used to be a limestone quarry. It's beautiful on the side of the hill overlooking Orhei.
All the squares are made. Now to fill them in.
After a long day of tasting wine, where better to go than El Greco? We went and ate some more. Everything was wonderful, from the Greek salad to the zeama to the kiftedakis and tatziki. We even had cappucino for dessert. This is, we believe, one of the very best restaurants in Chisinau. It's even open 24 hours a day!
I've gotten more faggot and satin stitches done on this band. One more set of satin stitches at the edges and I'm done with it.
We had a lunchtime wine tasting at Cricova after going through the cellars. It was a very elegant lunch of Moldovan specialties with several very good wines.
