Great Yarn Shop

This is a picture of the yarn shop we discovered in Frankfurt.  The service is excellent and the owner very friendly!  I showed you what I bought from her several posts ago.  Most of that stash is here with me on vacation in the US so I have something to do in the car.  Her shop is right on the 18 tram line next to a stop!

Invito Pizza

This pizza place was directly under our apartment in Krakow.  We decided to try it, and it was delicious.  The portions were large and the crusts were soft.  I had the bacon and onion pizza; Andreas' was pepperoni and olives.  He also had an olive bread appetizer, and I had mushroom soup.  The olive bread wasn't anything special.  It was pizza crust paved with black olives.  The soup was warm and delicious and had mushroom chunks all through it.  Andreas also had a Greek salad and we both had froufrou drinks.  Mine was a cherry and vodka thing that tasted close to cough syrup.  Andreas' mixture of pineapple and strawberry was better.

Adding The Red

All the corners are done.  It's time to get the rest of the red added in and start beading it up.

Another Country, Another Bit Of Stash

It seems I'm able to find some kind of stitching shop everywhere we go.  In Krakow, it was a little hole in the wall that had a variety of items.  I bought... the stuff above plus the richelieu kit I shared with you earlier.

First Dinner In Krakow

 Our apartment in Krakow was only two blocks off the main old square.  We at at Chopin, right on the square, the first evening.  The food was good, but the chicken soup wasn't Moldovan zeama!  There was no sour to it.  I was disappointed.  We had a selection of Polish cheeses, which tasted kind of meh and bland to me, and I had fried chicken.  Andreas had a bit more adventurous dish that I've forgotten the name of.  the food was slightly overpriced, but I think it was to pay for the fancy dinnerware and the classical music ipod playing in the background.

Close To Two

I'm close to having two of the letters all stitched but beads.  There's still some to do inside the O.  All that lattice around the O took a looooong time.

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.
