Three Of Four

Three of four boring squares done!  Maybe I can start the fun parts soon.

Great Fabric

I now have four yards of this fabric.  It's beautiful.  Now to figure out what to do with it!

Chisinau Wine Festival

 In mid-October, Chisinau held its wine festival over a weekend.  Very many vintners and wineries set up booths, and some even had free samples.  That last probably explains the huge crowds.  We didn't stay long, as Andreas hates crowds, but I would have liked to explore more.  Also notable, Purcari set up a stage on one side and a dining area for VIPs on the other, creating a major choke point.  Maybe next year I'll just leave Andreas at home and explore at my own pace.



Rural Moldova From A Russian Viewpoint

This link is to a Russian view of Moldova that's definitely biased.  On the other hand, there are a lot of beautiful pictures and very little commentary.  The photos are of rural Moldova, which I don't show often here.

Definitely Halfway

I am finally working on the upper half of this motif.  I'll be so relieved when it's done!  I've been working on this sampler nearly every day for the past year.

Mitten For Tara

Yay, my mitten made it to Tara in Canada!  I sent it at the end of October, and it was for an exchange sponsored by Brooke's Books' Yahoo group.  This is how it turned out.

Concert At The Mall

 Moldova had its harvest (wine) festival in mid October.  During that time, we got to hear and see this local orchestra playing folk tunes at the mall.
