Little Flowers

Pretty little hairpins I picked up for a couple of euros each at the Vienna Christmas markets.

Anniversary Night

 For our anniversary in October, we went to Pegas.  Andreas had his usual rabbit pasta (he loves this dish) and Greek salad.  I am going to have to learn how to make that, so when we move he can still have it.  I had beef salad and carpaccio.  The carpaccio was excellent, though I wish they'd use a different cheese on the salad.  It's a slightly sour cheese and doesn't add to the salad overall.  

Winging It

I have started the angel herself.  She's coming along pretty well, though it will take a while to finish her.

Stitchy Purchase

This is the only stitchy purchase I made in Vienna.  I found the lace in a yarn shop; the yarn was not as extensive as what I had found in Frankfurt in September and nothing else really appealed to me.

Unique Material

I picked up these hairclips in Vienna.  They're unusual in that they're made from strips of dyed bamboo.  They're very lightweight and this photo doesn't do their colors justice.

Marine Ball 2013 Food

Our table setting this year was for eight instead of ten, which made it seem less crowded.  The candle centerpiece was very pretty.  First course was a rather meh salad.  It was refreshing, though, to see no glob of mayonnaise on it.  Andreas had  the chicken and I had the steak.  While the food was by no means hot, it was better than last year's absolutely cold food.  The steak was not overdone and the chicken was not rubbery.  The cheesecake was rather flavorless, so we only ate a few bites.

Foliage Added

I've added some foliage to the flowers.  This is coming along pretty well, and I should be done relatively soon.
