Make Stuff May 2025 #13: Brer Rabbits by RTO

Another Estonia kit and another reminder that the Europeans know nothing about American culture because of the name of the kit.

 

Mushroomed

My mushroom is done and ready to be framed.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #19: Athena by Satsuma Street

Got the pattern in the Black Needle Society subscription box a while back. Making it now.

 

Tea Towel Find

This is one of three tea towels I bought to embroider. They came from a quilt shop! 

 

Stock and Barrel, Knoxville

On home leave we spent a week in Knoxville with Andreas' parents. We ate at several places. The first was Stock and Barrel on Market Square. It was very good. Huge portions. I split a burger because too big. And we had to have fried pickles, of course.








 

Entrance and Guardroom in Project Reise

Ther entrance is kind of spectacular for being hidden. There is a small trap area with the guard rooms to not let people in, of course. Most things are unfinished because the war ended before it could properly get built. This was one of six or seven sites that were started and would be matched up with each other. It was another overly ambitious Nazi plan.






 

Synagogue in PolIN

The museum has a full synagogue that was moved from southern Poland into the museum. It was built in the 18th century and is just a little village synagogue. But it's beautiful inside.
