The Last Egg

I really didn't like the looks of the seventh egg, so I went ahead and stitched a second version of the first one. I think it came out well.  There will be a charm in the middle when I put it together.  This means I'm done with all the Ukrainian egg ornaments!

Lines And Squares

I finished up the sixth of seven egg patterns.  This one is a bit yellow to me, though it's not as yellow in person.  It's also a really bold and graphic design.

Meady Meal

 We had a nice-ish evening, so Andreas, Yvette, and I went to a little Polish cafe and ate outside.  It was cold enough to sample the mead, though, so each of us got a different grade.  Mine was the 4x (Jadwiga), and it was excellent.  The 1x was really good too, but the 2x had a musty smell to it that put Andreas off.  The rest of the meal will be in another post.
 
 


Safety First And Last

This is some rescue gear from the 1980's for the mine.  The mine still employs three rescue teams, two of which were working a coal mine collapse in Germany when we were in Krakow in October.

Serenity Temari

 This is a gift for a friend who's a big Firefly fan.  The idea is that it mimics the Serenity Valley flag.

Lunch At Moaburger

 Our friends had told us that Moaburger was very good, so we went.  The company is from New Zealand.  I found the burgers huge and the staff friendly.  They even changed up the burgers without fuss.





See The Salt

 All the gray walls in the mine are salt.  It's all food grade salt, even.  They let you lick the walls.  Anyway, it doesn't really look like salt until you shine a light on it.
