Calendar For The New Year

I got this calendar from the Embroidery Association of Canada.  I figure it'll be good inspiration for the year and will spur me on to stitch more.

Received In October

 I received this wonderful kit when I got to Kosovo, but I have been far too busy to do much in the way of stitching.  I really want to do this cube!  I have a lot of days off starting today, so hopefully I will be able to start.

Full Hearted

The whole heart is outlined now.  This is pretty close to done, yay!  I could use another finish before the end of the year.

Bits More Color

I didn't do much brown this time, but went through the peacock's tail.  Felt good to not do brown.

Going To The Doilies

Andreas' boss' wife was getting rid of some crochet books.  I need new crochet books like a hole in the head, but I picked out these four.  Now to find time to make them.

Mall Food Albanian Style

The mall is about a mile and a half from our house.  It has a lot of stores and would not be out of place in western Europe.  It even has an Inglot.  When we were here last, all the mall was was a dumpy grocery store out past the edge of town.  Times have changed in Pristina!

On our first weekend here, we decided to go to the food court.  This is what we had - Albanian fast food.  The food was good and cheap and plentiful.  There was a bit of Turkish mixed in.  The boats were kind of like hachupuri, but not.  No egg, and meat in them.  The bread was also not as fluffy.  Tasted good, though!

Nolive Alone

Another piece I worked on in Vienna.  It's looking pretty special.
