My New Hat

We were not looking for a hat, but there this one was in the boho district Christmas market in Vienna.  I loved it, and Andreas took this photo of me in the train on the way home.  It took a few tries to make me laugh.

Tu Es Finis

The sheep are done!  It's another piece to cross off my crazy January list as I get ready to start a new one.  I think I will be making this into a small pillow.

Encrusting

The beading is getting so thick it looks encrusted.  I think the finished product will look great; I'll just be taking a lot of time getting to it.

To Start

When I arrived in Fort Worth, I had these kits waiting for me.  One is from Jen Goodwin and is a surface kit.  The other is counted and is from Barbara Jackson.  I really need to settle down long enough to do some stitching.  I miss routine.

New Toy

My husband is a fan of knives, so we went to Smoky Mountain Knife Works when we were in Tennessee.  I got a knife, too.  Mine is to carry in my purse as a security device.  It's nice and well balanced and definitely made for a smaller hand.  The knife will stay sheathed, and I can hang it around my neck or strap it to my leg if I want to.

Branching Out

I've now started both the man and the tree.  The question is - which will be done first?

Last Night In Moldova For Now

 I wanted to eat at Pani Pit before leaving Moldova, and we ended up postponing it until the last night.  Andreas wasn't very hungry and we were kind of rushed, so it wasn't quite as enjoyable as usual.  Andreas had the Greek salad and some mamalygia.  I had the zeama, berry steak, and a cappucino.  The food was very, very good and fresh.  I miss zeama, but now it's less than two weeks until we go home.
