Archaeological Park Ulpiana

There used to be a Roman city a few miles from where we live. Currently, it's mainly buried under farmland and wildflowers. But some of it is excavated! They have dug up the north gate area, a couple of old churches, and the necropolis just outside the north gate. What they've dug up is -maybe- five percent of the land area of the city.  Fascinating stuff, and a great way to get out with the pod and get some sunshine earlier this summer.

 

On To Another Tree

Started in on the other tree on the third side. Slowly this is progressing.

 

This'll Do by Ink Circles - Work From Home #25

This is a new chart from Ink Circles, and I have now started it. Took some of the thread suggestions and not others. We'll see how it ends up.

 

New Finishing Technique

I finished this little Ink Circles piece earlier this year and decided to make it displayable. It's mounted on a 4x4 artist's canvas. It was quick to do and straightforward. I think it came out looking pretty awesome.
 

Lunch At Nuovo Monte

This restaurant is at the foot of the hill with the Novo Brdo fortress on it. I had contacted them and they offered lamb. I didn't realize it was a whole lamb... there were eight of us. The rest of the meal they put together for us with only mild suggestions from me. It was all wonderfully delicious. We brought a lot home.

 

Two Half Leaves

Two leaves started now, and it's all the way as wide as it needs to be.

 

Patriotic Hearts

These are the four patriotic hearts by Gay Ann Rogers. At some point soon, they'll be in the work from home list. I'm looking forward to making them.
