Marbled Finds

During my recent medevac, I got to walk around a bit of London.  Part of what I found was Il Papiro, a marbled goods shop.  I bought these two items.  I miss marbling.

Night Sky

I've started in on the sky and it's almost done now.

Daffodiled

Yay, the March daffodils are done before the middle of the month.  That means I'm catching up with doing the whole month in the month of the flower.

Tree Topped

The trees are all the way across the top now.  I've got a bit of the right corner square done, too.  It's amazing what four lengths of thread a day can do to progress.

Chateau Migdal - The Tasting Rom

Our party of nine was put in the Medieval Room for the tasting.  This is what the table looked like before we sat down.  Our first course included meats, cheeses, placinte, bread, sarmale, and fruit and veg.




We also had a hot course of mamaliga and pork tocana.  Everything was well prepared, and the wine flowed freely.


Blue Out

I've got a bit of blue coming through in a bar below the completed letter area.  Maybe I should start adding beads?

Chateau Migdal- Transition And Traditional Tasting Room

These photos are transitioning between buildings.  You can see the pretty murals and the big storage containers.


This room is the tasting room for groups up to 20.  It's decorated very traditionally for Moldova and has a lot of wood carving.  The chandelier is custom carved and has different varietals on it.
