All Crossed Up

The mitt's all done but for the rest of the backstitching and the beading.

The Beautiful Grounds Of Purcari

 I finally received from photos from last summer from Andreas.  These are of Purcari Winery.  It's located near the Dniestr River in the south of the country.  The grounds are lovely and showed themselves off on this sunny July 2013 day.

Little Purple Bits

There are little bits of purple couching on half the stripes now.  Next step is to couch down the rest.

Beautiful Moldovan Vistas

Some photos taken while driving in to the valley of Orhei Vechi last summer.

Flowers At Home

 All these flowers were blooming in my yard.  I have a couple of dozen rose bushes and they all burst into bloom this month.  They are especially colorful this year.

W'ing Into The Rotation

It was time to put another crazy January piece into the rotation and this one jumped out of the cabinet.  It's beginning to even get a bit of color.

Thank You Jen!

Those of you who live in the South know you can just pick these up at the gas station or grocery store any time.  Despite having a love of dill and a love of potato chips here, they have a dearth of love of dill pickles.  That means a lack of dill pickle chips, which I love.  When Jen and Brian went to the States last month to look for a house, they picked up some chips for me.  There's a whole huge story behind them including taste tests and gas stations in bad neighborhoods, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for getting them for me.
