Lakeside September

September's fabric from Lakeside.  Leaves.  I'll find something to make on it.

Working On Eyes

The second square seems to be working up more quickly this time.  It doesn't hurt that it's been a darling of the spinner lately.

Biscuits And Gravy?

This is a photo of the "biscuits and gravy" Andreas had at the embassy cafeteria over the summer.  One of his colleagues was leaving and wanted this, so they asked the cafeteria guys to make it.  They tried.

Working On The Center

I have been working toward the middle, and I'm so close to being there.  This is another piece the spinner loves.

Village Jewelry

The Macedonian Village, a resort above Skopje, contains a few stores.  One of them is a silversmith.  We got this beautiful jewelry - all of it for under a hundred euros.  One of the sets is not mine, though, but a present for someone else.  We will be going back to that place.  It's a good place to relax for a weekend.

Bird Body

The spinner LOVED Indigo Bird.  It meant I got a lot done, but it's not a very interesting piece.  So it's resting for a bit after getting the whole body done.

Dinner At Casa Rita

Casa Rita is a very good restaurant near Germia park in Pristina.  Unfortunately, their bartender doesn't know how to mix drinks.  Other than that, the food is excellent.  This meal was a section farewell for Andreas' employee whose next post was Thailand.  There were ten of us and we had a very good time on their open terrace that has a view of the park and its mountain.  I had French onion soup and carpaccio, along with the cappucino pictured.  We had a BUNCH of appetizers, including a cheese tray.  Andreas' employees wouldn't let me pay for myself, so I have been paying them back in baked goods every week for the section meeting.  They grouse at Andreas and thank me.
