Found In Budapest

We got lost and found a stitch shop in Budapest.  So.... i had to buy something, right?  Two Hungarian crochet magazines, a quilting ornament kit, and a Japanese embroidery magazine.  Score!

Frogging Time

I put the piece on bottom on bottom.  It's supposed to be on the left side, and I stitched it that way, so the stitches are oriented wrong.  Lots of frogging to do.

I hope to get this finished by Christmas so I can give it and the Peace on Earth ornament to my mother.

Different From Moldovan

In Cluj, we had dinner in a place where we got out of the rain.  It was La Ardealul, named after the forest.  During this meal, we learned that Transylvanian food is very different from Moldovan.  I learned their chicken soup is -not- zeama.  Andreas learned the polenta is not mamaliga.  They were good, at least, if not what we are used to.

One Stitch Short

At this point, I realized I am one stitch too narrow on this piece.  I am going to compensate.  No way am I doing all that frogging!
