Great Find

I found this book of embroidery designs at the mall bookstore in Krakow.  It's got a whole bunch of surface embroidery and Richilieu designs.  I can't wait to start.

A Decision

I've decided to put this aside for now; I'm beginning to resent it, and stitching isn't supposed to be punishment!  So it's in my started-to-do-later cubby.  I think it's a combination of the way the lines are hard to see and that I'm not good at it.

Big Dinner At Grill House

 Our Friday dinners out have grown.  This dinner is an example- we had over twenty people.  We called Grill House in advance, and they had a table set up for us.  The food was good and we all had a great time.  I had carpaccio and shashlik.  The plated foods are from various people.  As it was all taken on my (old) cell phone the pictures didn't turn out great.

Old Fashioned Find

We found a stationary set at Collegium Maius in Krakow.  It's such an unusual thing to find!  The printing's also beautiful.

Our Street

 Ever since June, contractors have been laying water and sewage lines up and down our street.  It got particularly bad for us getting in and out of the driveway in the past month or so.  Here are some photos taken one day as we left last month.  Sometimes it's good to be leaving home.

Cross Stitches Done And A Problem

Soo.... I finished all the cross stitches on this and am ready to start in on the backstitching, including the borders.  The problem?  I've misplaced it.  It's either at the office or at home somewhere.  I'm not in either place until January, so it's going to sit for a while.
