Wine-y Art

We had been wanting one of these landscapes for quite a while - the artist paints in only wine.  Finally we saw one we loved - and bought it.

A Lot Less Spotty

Backstitching can make a huge difference!

New People To Torro

After an influx of new people to the embassy community, we decided to introduce them to Torro Grill.  It didn't disappoint.  A pickle plate, lemonades, a fruit plate, and dinner for everyone made us all very satisfied.

 

Support the (Ukrainian) Troops

I bought these beautiful things at one of the support the Ukrainian troops booths in Odessa.  People are doing all they can to get more money to their soldiers for equipment.

Working On The Brown

Who ever knew there was so much brown on peacocks?

Tucano Breakfast

I had a morning breakfast after dropping Andreas off to work and before a nail appointment.  The cappucino was very good.  The orange juice was packaged and what passes as orange juice in Moldova.  The pastry had potential, but the berries on it were so sour they made my mouth pucker.  A bit of sugar please, people!

New Temari Book

I have not had a new temari book in quite a while, and Andreas found this one on ebay for me.  He ordered it, I have it, and I will be making some temari from it soon.
