Quilt for Me

Betsy made me a quilt with a lot of Japanese fabrics! Isn't it pretty? It took me so long to post our Christmas presents because Andreas was daunted by the size for photos. I love it. Thank you.


 

Dinnertime Swap

This was my second swap with Marion in the US, and we did a dinnertime swap. I sent her a bunch of kits and spices for dinner, and she did the same. I found out I actually like the swedish meatball kit, and a lot of the marinades have already been put to good use. I keep the packets on my kitchen island and pick one randomly for dinner a couple of times a week. Thank you so much, Marion!






 

Well Over the Hump

Much more than halfway through. A lot of my larger projects are simultaneously inching toward completion.

 

Big Rectangle Done

The whole of the big rectangle is done and the letters started. I've even begun some backstitching. On the home stretch of this finally. It will be done before the end of the year.

 

Bunker Living

I would not want to have lived in this place. It's so drab and just plain miserable. But, I guess, if you're trying to avoid a chemical or nuclear strike, it's the place to be.

Two and a Half Corners Closing

I have two and a half corners of this part done. There's a -lot- of beading and backstitching to do, but I -will- have this done before the end of the year. The border is not too complicated, and I will probably start beading while working on it.

 

Restaurant Week Warsaw - Magari

Warsaw has a version of restaurant week and we participated. You prebook your table and meal for about $30-40 each at one of about 40 restaurants, and go and enjoy. Meals are three courses plus a drink and sometimes an amuse bouche.
We liked the menu at Magari, a hotel restaurant downtown with a terrace, so we went. Andreas had the pasta and I had the steak. Mine came with peach soup! It was interesting. I am also going to have to do my watermelon with a balsamic glaze, because it was delicious. Everything was wonderful, and we will go back soon.
