Crazy January Start #19: January Carnation

Despite being hugely busy, I have joined a year of flowers stitchalong.  This is the first month - carnations.  It's getting there, I think.  I am going to be so behind, though, I can tell.

Oops

Well, I had started this section in the wrong spot, so.... I had to start it over in the right one.  If you look closely, you can see I started the Florence church in the wrong spot too and have some ripping out to do.

Back To Bazilika

We got food poisoning from our second visit to Bazilika.  We were disappointed.  The whole staff had changed in three days, it seems, and the food tasted like it.  I wonder what happened behind the scenes.

Ana's Goat

Ana gave me this goat and I love it!  It reminds me of the puppet show in Sound of Music.  It's already on my fridge and will stay there.

Beginning to Welcome

I've started in on the over one stitches now.  There are several things more to do before this is done, but it's coming along.

Elsie's Temari

Elsie sent me this fantabulous C10 wrapped temari covered in stars and sparkles.  People see it and they have to pick it up.  It even rattles!  Thank you so much for the temari, Elsie!

Mall Food

 The mall near the train station in Budapest was CROWDED because it was December and Christmas shopping.  We found a place to eat a sit down lunch after waiting 20 minutes for a table.  The lunch was good, with goulash and sandwiches.  My sandwich was chicken, and Andreas' was a cubano.  He loved his.  Mine was okay.  The goulash didn't have much in the way of chunky stuff in it, but the broth was good.  We were at the mall to go grocery shopping for sweet potatoes, which you cannot find in Moldova.  You can find them most everywhere else in Europe now, but not Moldova.
