Needlework Buys

I bought a couple more kits this autumn. I've been wanting the fix kit for quite a while and it was back in stock.


 

Entrance to Jewish History

The POLIN museum in Warsaw tells the story of Jews in greater Poland. This is the imposing entrance from the ticket desk. Not sure of the meaning.







 

Pointe du Hoc Views

Views from Pointe du Hoc. Can't get as close to the cliffs as was the case years ago.





 

Whiskey in the Jar

In Poland, it's not just a song - it's a restaurant. We ate there on one of Leonora's last days here. She had the truffle burger. I had steak; Andreas had chicken. They also had fancy drinks, so we had some of those too. 




 

Meal in Dresden

After out chilly tour walking around Dresden, we were hungry and cold so we decided to go eat. We found somewhere good, too, accidentally. It was just off the main square and had delicious food.

Scotched and Stewed

All the squares filled and it looks like I have a lot more light green area than I wanted. Not going to bother to change it, though.

 

Stemmed and Trellises

The order of stitching has been dictated by the order the tutor is teaching us stitches. So lots of stem and chain done, some block shading, and two trellises.
