Seconding A Flower

I am almost halfway done with this piece!  The second flower is filling in.

Andreas' Favorite

During our last couple of months in Moldova we went to Smokehouse at least weekly.  It quickly became Andreas' favorite restaurant.

A Little Abstract

We bought this pastel, framed, in Uruguay.  Unfortunately our maid broke the frame in Moldova.  Our framers, though, made it look better than new with the floating glass frame.

Chirping Away

The birdies are coming along fairly well.  You can see them on the outer edges now as the inside is looking rather neglected.

Fanconi Fail

 
Sometimes, despite the lovely food and presentation, the atmosphere can totally turn you off a restaurant.  Such was our problem with Fanconi, located next to the circus in Chisinau.  As you can see, the food is gorgeous and they even have Italian prosecco.  The problems?  The menus are -only- in Russian.  At least there are photos, but still.  They are also located on a very busy street and we arrived just after rush hour on a weekday.  A bus stop is right in front of the restaurant.  The noise makes it very hard to have a conversation with your table companions.  Other than that, it was a delightful place.  Perhaps, if you go, you should be seated indoors.

Little Castle Framed

The castle looks cute in this frame!  One more piece completed.

Managed Some Filling

I got some bits and pieces of filling done on the flight from Frankfurt.  We also will be going on a long flight next month.  I hope to have more filling done then.  It's coming along, just a bit more slowly than I'd like.
