Renzoku Start

I started this temari during the teaching session a week ago Sunday.  I think it'll be pretty nice once I finish it!

Beaker

The peacock's got a beak now.  His head's done outside of backstitching, and the little white flowers are getting filled in.

Thank You Jennifer!

Jennifer M and I participated in an ornament exchange in July.  Mail being what it is here, it took a month to get to me.  It's worth the wait, though.  Thank you very much, Jennifer!  The snowpeeps are so cute!

Where I Live

Chișinău, eu te iubesc / Кишинёв, я люблю тебя / Chisinau, i love you. from PMA Moldova on Vimeo.

This is a video about where I live!  I've been to most of these places, but they really cleaned them up for shooting the video.  They also picked the least potholed streets in town.  I don't know how they found a street that good to skateboard on, but overall it's a good promotional video of Chisinau.  The first several sequences accurately portray the airport to town experience, too.

Going On Inside

 More pictures of Chateau Vartely, including where they age the wine in casks and the tasting rooms.  Sean liked the red the best. Andreas preferred the muscat.  And we got to take home all the opened bottles!

Bricking

This last time, I worked on bricks in some of the buildings.  This second tier of structures is so stretched that it's hard to see any real progress because it's all the way across.

Still Filling In

I'm almost to the point of being done with filling in the background for the moment.  It's caught up with the other items, so it's going to be back to doing the motif.
