Crazy January Start #22: Serenity Harbor Stitchalong

I saw the finished version of this, thought it beautiful, signed up, and -then- saw the size.  It's nearly 200x600 stitches.  Here are my first few.  The design is coming out in twelve installments and I'm already behind - they just released part two.  Oh well, it'll get done.

Money Box

Andreas cleaned out the bottom of my closet last week and put everything in bins.  While doing that, he also cleaned out some of my purses and found loose change in at least four currencies.  I bought him this box to put it all in.

Bayeuxing Away

Almost all the outlining is done and I've started the filling in.  the filling in is pretty quick, but it takes a lot of wool!  Anyway, this should be a fairly quick finish once I set my mind to it.

Business Lunch At Nobil

The Nobil is one of the most expensive and luxurious hotels in Moldova.  It also has a top floor restaurant with a magnificent view of the city - and a 150 lei (less than $10) business lunch.  Our consular section went there for such a lunch as a Christmas treat.  We had a wonderful time.  We also got three courses plus a drink for that 150 lei.  My lunch consisted of beef carpaccio, ravioli, and creme brulee with a glass of white wine.  All the food was very tasty, especially the three flavors of creme brulee, and, as you can see, well presented.

Crazy January Start #21: Mouton Rouge

It's a red sheep in the making.  I'll get it done because I like it.

Sighisoara Streets

 We finally made it to Sighisoara last month, and it might have been the cold weather or just the size, but we didn't find much to do.  The place was pretty dead too, with most things closed up.  If we spend time in Brasov in the summer, maybe we'll go up and see what it's like then.  On the other hand, we absolutely loved our apartment there.

One Done

Granted, it's a small butterfly on the left, but it's all stitched.  I am getting some done.... even though one's barely started.
