Bountiful Georgian Food

 Georgian food tastes great!  If you ever have a chance to go to a Georgian restaurant, go.  We are lucky to have a few here in Chisinau, and the one we went to in June is called Tblisi.  It's got a lovely pavilion terrace, too, where we sat.  The food, from the hachipuri to the mixed grill (especially the lamb chops), was perfect.  It was all freshly made and bursting with the flavor of the meat and vegetables.  Ella, a friend, had the beautiful dessert at the bottom.  She was -so- pleased to find this place, as she's from the Caucasus and hates cooking but loves cooking from her home area.

Started Back Up

The Butterfly Vignette is getting back in the rotation and hopefully getting done.

Dressing Up And Working Out

 There were lots of things going on at the Medieval Festival.  Dress up and work out games for the kids and a grand opening by Stefan cel Mare himself!  Not sure if it's supposed to be his second or his third wife next to him.

Caravan Again

We went back to Caravan with a larger group in June.  Had a lot of very good food, the same as usual!

One Leaf Done

With this one leaf, I have discovered that the black cat's fur will deliberately attach itself to white fabric; that waxing the thread may help with stitching but leaves a discoloration problem; and that this goes faster than I feared. Onward!

Medieval In Moldova

Something new happened in Moldova at the end of June - a Medieval Festival!  This was the first one ever.  From these photos you can see that it was both well attended and well organized.

Third Started

I now have a third corner started and a second one finished in this step.  I love the progress I'm making and looking forward to having this done before the end of September.  Go me!
