Books From Cluj

We found a great little stationery shop in Cluj about a block from our apartment.  I bought my new 2015 agenda and one for 2016, too.  I like the bright colors and have already started using the stripy one.

It's A Trabie

While in Krakow we decided to take a tour of the area specially built as a "communist paradise" just outside of town.  This Trabie was our transportation.  We managed to fit four full sized adults into it.  Barely.

Leaf It Alone

My lone fully done leaf won't be all by itself for long.  The second one is started around the edges.

Second Sprig

The second sprig is well along.  It's time, maybe, to start some backstitching.

Pretty Book

I've been collecting blank books again.  Picked this one up at the Budapest Christmas market.

On The Way Out

There are a whole hotel and a banquet hall and a hospital inside the salt mine.  You see some of it on the way out.  It's beautifully finished.  I think it might be fun to do the hotel at some point.  The banquet hall hosted New Year's festivities this year.  I wonder how it went.

Full Bodied

The peacock is beginning to look full bodied.  He's filling out nicely.  Now to get the rest of the stuff done.  At least I know I'm more than a quarter of the way done because two of eight pages are complete and I'm about ten rows into the third and fourth.
