Up On The Roof

 There's a very pretty and good restaurant on the roof of the Nobil Hotel in downtown Chisinau.  It's got a lovely view, too.  We had drinks and snacks up there one day in early June.  It was perfect.

Bite Out

The middle section's square is built with the exception of a bite out of the top right.  I hope to have this done soon.

Lighter Blue

Lots of lighter blue is beginning to creep into the bottom area. I am now officially more than halfway done with the cross stitching.

Who's Fabric

We found these prints on fabric.com and Andreas ordered plenty for me to make something with.

Pretty Sights Around Odessa

While walking around Odessa we took photos of some things that interested me.  The city hall is beautiful in the sunlight, and this restaurant's terrace barriers are very decorative.  At the bottom are some gorgeous hand crocheted Irish lace clothing items.  In person, they are breathtaking.  They were also for sale - for a very reasonable price.

Happiness Is Color

I am so very happy to be adding more color to this!  It just feels better than all the unrelenting brown.

Odessa Finds

I found these at the market surrounding the Odessa cathedral.  I especially like the steampunk earrings.
