Siding

This session was all about getting more sides done.  Still not done anything but borders yet, though.

We've Discovered Pani Pit

For quite a while, we'd been meaning to go to Pani Pit.  We just never got the opportunity.  My office had lunch there a week and a half ago, and Andreas went with.  It was excellent.  According to the locals in the office, Pani Pit's zeama is the best in Chisinau.  It was very good, truly, but I think El Greco's is better.  Both, though, use all white meat chicken.  I also had a pear and camembert salad, pictured second.  The salad was freshly made and wonderful.

 Andreas had the pork with pears.  You can see the presentation in this picture.  It gets ooohs every time it's brought out.  The red glaze is a pear and berry sauce that complemented the pork wonderfully.  Andreas loved it.

A few other people had these shrimp on zucchini fritters.  I tasted one of the fritters - they're sweet, but not too sweet, and definitely not heavy or oily.  The pesto sauce over the top is good, too.  We will definitely be going back.

Ready To Work The Corner

I'm to the point where I'm ready to start the blue corner motif.  Definite progress!

A Bit More Sheepish

Tu es Unique got a little more work last week, as I took it in because of its small size.  Keeping it in my bag for possible more work later.

A Few More Done

I have twenty six lines done now on my sampler and am within ten inches of the bottom of the fabric.  Getting toward the finish!

Shopping With Friends

 Carolina took Ana and me to two shops near her home.  They were in the same building just off of Alba Iulia.  The first is a Singer sewing machine retailer that stocks the full line of Madeira threads.  They also have a great selection of cones of sewing thread.  I bought quite a bit there, then we turned the corner to Clubok.  This place is floor to ceiling yarn.  I'll be going back!

To The Shoulders

I stitched more of the peacock today, and am over halfway done with the first two pages of the design.  Progress is being made, albeit slowly.
