Bogged Down

I am feeling very bogged down with this, since I'm still on the first line of the third page.  I can see progress on the piece, but not on the page.

Cut Off

This has officially gotten too big for Andreas to take a photo of easily, so the bottom's cut off.  I still am doing some backstitching on the left, and I am pleased with the progress on the border. 

Krakow's Central Square

 These are the beginning of Andreas' photos from Krakow last October.  Since we're going back in three months, I thought it might be a good idea  to post these ones before we go again.  Krakow's central square is awesome.  It's full of people and life without being overcrowded.  The cloth hall sits in the middle and has been turned into a museum and market.  Very fun to wander around.

Velvet Cow Fur

The little bits of velvet for the border are still coming along.  Soon I can start on the banner across.

Just Across The Street

Not much to see in Iasi outside the mall, but we tried.  We crossed the street and found a locked church, then crossed back down the block and found two more churches.... at least they're pretty looking.

My First Richelieu

Last October, while we were in Krakow, I bought some Richelieu kits.  This is one of them.  It's a table runner, and it's going to be very hard  to photograph as it goes on.  It's also huge.  The stitching, though, is going faster than I thought it would.

Children At The Mall

 Children playing last September around the mall grounds in Iasi.
