Inside To Out

 Once you get inside the fortress, it's a mess.  The poor thing could use some care.  On the other hand, you can see glimpses of the magnificent views from the hilltop.

Tiramisu Framed

 It's been a while since I finished the group correspondence course Tiramisu.  We took it to MolDeco, and they did their usual wonderful job of framing.  I'm pleased.

All Squared Up

I am done with squaring the mandala up!  It's time to fill in the corners and start in on the beading.

Rasov Is Big

 So it turns out that the first fort on this site was Roman.  It also turns out that, once you go through the barbican, there's still a bit of climbing to do.  The place is very large and could hold many people and livestock when under siege.  The day we went it was hot and there wasn't any shade.

New Kit

My husband bought this kit for me at my request.  I am trying to put it into the rotation, which means I need to get stitching so I can add it!  It looks lovely to do.

Making A Body

My sheep is getting his body.  In fact, he's almost got the whole thing!

Castle On A Hill

 Just outside of Brasov is a castle overlooking the Brasov basin.  It was built in the early middle ages and time has not treated it well.  The name is Rasov, and it's a beautiful place spoiled by quite a bit of commercial kitsch.  None of the commercial money has gone into preservation or renovation, either, which makes it doubly sad.  The view of  the valley and the Carpathians is breathtaking, though.  These photos are of the approach.
