Hungarian Beeswax

Adding to my international beeswax collection with a piece from Budapest.

To The Gift Shop

 At the end of every tour is the gift shop.  This one's no exception.  There are a lot of neat rocks and such, and a glass elevator for a view.  Otherwise, it's kind of blah.

Back To The Colonial

Although I received my Needle Arts just before Christmas, I was unable to work on my Colonial Band Sampler until this past week.  As you can see, I got a flower done.  There's not all that much left to do, and I will have it done by the next CyberStitchers meeting.

Shiny


My other purchase in Hungary is this barrette.  It's made completely of horn and feels so smooth and cold.  I like the way it looks with the stripes.


Real Miners!

Some miners doing repair work on a tunnel.  It was good seeing some actual work being done.

Working On The Stucco

I've added quite a bit of peach and some gray to the house.  The chimney is almost done now, as is the stucco.  It'll be fun to use some new colors.

New Backpack

We picked up this pack at the Budapest Christmas market.  I think we saw something similar at four other places, but this had it best made and least expensive, both.  It's all leather, unlined on the inside, and smells good.
