The Warsaw Mermaid

Warsaw has a mermaid as its patron. This was from a story long ago when mermaids from the river came to save it. This statue is in the Rynek, the Old Town Square. The mermaid's face is based on a woman who died in the Warsaw Uprising. Oh, and yes, it's an ice rink around it. This photo was taken in January.

We were going near Boleslawiec on our long road trip, so Andreas decided we had to stop. At least we had some room in the car...












 

Typewriter Store

While on our architecture tour of Berlin we passed a typewriter store. The only thing in it was typewriters! This was in the eastern part of Berlin. I guess it's a bit of nostalgia.

At the Edge

The edge of the second house is just about done. Time to start some sidewalk and sky again.

 

25 for 2025 #1: Christmas Ball with Bird by Coricamo

The fabric in the kit was aida, so I tossed it and started on this yellow linen. It will come out as a daily project soonish.

 

StitchyBox Advent Calendar Open

Lots of pretty threads and I will probably stitch both Christmas designs.
