Lots of Backstitching

All that green and such had to be backstitched in the L.  I've gotten that done, and now it's time to finish the border.

Crooked Picture

The photo is slightly crooked, but it does show that I've gotten one of the middle flowers done and put a good dent in the second.  Going through my fairly bad transfer job, I wonder if there's a transfer service out there for those of us who are inept at doing it?

Back Outside



 More wandering around the Palmgarten.  The place is enormous!  These flowers around the greenhouses and in the pond were sometimes a challenge for me to take photos of.

Lunch On The Zeil

I was alone and exploring while Andreas was in class on Friday in Frankfurt.  This is what I had to eat.  It was wonderful, and I got to people watch as I ate.

Another Little Finish

It's all done, and one more finish for the crazy January challenge.  Slowly I get these done, and in a month and a half I start all over again!  This will be added to the front of the little mesh bag it came in.

More Tropics

 This red flower was hanging overhead, which prompted me to take some overhead photos of the foliage too.   Lots of different species in the area, including ginger and orchids.

Warmth for The Winter

We found these wonderful rabbit fur-lined mittens in Krakow.  They'll keep my hands warn during the cold Moldovan winter.  They were not badly priced, either, and fit well.  Win all around.  Bring on winter!
