Fiberlicious December

I love December's colors. The flosses will go into Tree of Happiness, and I will have to find something to make for the fabric.

Kosovo Dress

These photos and the ones of Kosovo dress to follow were taken at the City Museum of Mitrovica, in northern Kosovo. The museum has a collection of folk costume, and I got to visit it privately. This is a woman's wedding dress. Most of the photos were taken by me. If you notice, there are several pieces. A head dress, a shawl, a pectoral necklace, a blouse, a skirt, an apron, and a sash. This particular one is in the Albanian style.

Cozyblue December

One thing I like about cozyblue is it comes so promptly! This one will get done soon.

Making Stems

This is a pretty quick stitch! The stems are just about all done and the flowers are all started.

Disappointment At Restaurant Gizzi

Back in November we went to Restaurant Gizzi here in Pristina. It was represented to us as an upscale restaurant with a great cuisine. The service was not great; the prices were high; and the food made us all sick. My carpaccio is the photo right below this. It was still frozen, and had been badly cut frozen, too. The soups were good. The chicken was greasy. The cheese was pretty good, as were the mushrooms. We had hoped to find somewhere new. We were disappointed.

Stitchy Box Advent

I received my Stitchy Box advent calendar on time, but decided to take photos of the opened stuff only after opening everything. I only opened everything once I got back from the Netherlands, and there isn't a photo yet. In the meantime, here's what it looked like before opening anything!

One Quarter Almost Done

One quarter of Box Elders is just about complete. The density of stitches is pretty high, but it looks pretty good when stitched. I still love my choice of background fabric.
