A Tiny Green

I got a tiny green leaf done on the left and more feathers done on the right.  It's beginning to look nice, but there's a -lot- to go.


All On The Roof

Managed to get some roof parts done and the full left half of the bottom backstitched.  Time to really work the middle.

Paper Dresses

 When we were in Romania and wandering the mall, we came across these dresses above the book fair.  They're all made out of paper (without glue!) by local fashion design students in Iasi.  I think they're spectacular.

Humming Along

Each week gets a little farther, even with some frogging.  The middle garden's just about done.

Romanian Chinese

One of the reasons we went to Iasi was a hankering for Chinese food.  On our first night there, we ate at the Chinese place in the mall we had eaten at previously.  As usual, there's a lot of food on each plate, and it tasted pretty good too.

Getting Farther

The sampler is in the midst of a large cross stitch pattern now.  I've gotten nearly to the bottom of the band, but I haven't even started the three sheep.  Lots to do, lots to do.

Trains!

 Iasi, Romania, now has a train club!  And it was exhibiting at the mall.  There's a lot left to do with their layout, but it's good to see a club starting in such a place.
