My Husband The Archer

This is Andreas' gift to himself from the medieval festival.  The bow is handmade in Ukraine, and it was the bowmaker himself who sold it. The arrows, the same.  It was, of course, not the price of a toy bow, but has a 44 pound draw and should be good enough for some exercise soon.

Dodecadone

My latest dodecagon ornament is done.  I don't really like the colors, and if it hadn't been a kit, I would have used different ones.  I still haven't finished any of the ornaments because I haven't decided if I'm keeping them as a set or if I'm doing different things to them.

Leather Book

I bought this book at the medieval festival in Straseni at the end of last month.  It's beautiful and completely handmade.  I will be using it at some point soon to put my stitching progress in.

Looking Like A W

It's definitely looking like a W now.  It may even be nearly halfway done.

Some Windows, Some Bricks

I have some windows outlined as the building continues to take shape.  

Pretty Glasses

 The Purcari label glasses are very pretty.  We have a set of six now....

Picking At Progress

I am concentrating on the left side and hope to make it look like I'm progressing.  It looks rather the same, but there are a lot of small filled in areas now.
