Palatial Art And Storage

 My favorite of this set is the ceramic inlaid table.  I just can't imagine being burdened with all this - stuff.

Random Monastery

We saw this monastery on our way to Brasov, remembered it, and decided to take pictures on the way home.  It was a very quick stop, though, as Andreas didn't want me adopting one of the puppies from the parking lot.  The copper roofs and unusual shape nestled in the mountain make this a very beautiful site.  It's in between Brasov and Oituz.

Over The Edge

The piece is now edge to edge!  This means I only have to work downwards.  It's going fairly quickly because of all the half stitches and the color blocks.  Maybe I'll get it done soonish. This will be one of the pieces I take with me when I leave on holiday next month.

Like A Castle...

Everything is bigger in a castle, except the rooms.  The ceilings are high; the furniture is oversized; the dark is gloomier; the paintings are murals.  It's a fine place to feel uncomfortable in.

Not As Dingy

I've gotten a few more grapes done.  My big thing now is to work on consistency of my stitches.

Storks!

Some storks in Romania nest on power poles next to the street.  They seem comfortable enough perched and watching the people go by.

Windows To The Library

All of this looks like the ponderous, uncomfortable, and expensive stuff you'd find in a castle....
