Woven Rose Done

 I finally finished my woven temari.  It had been staring at me long enough.  Came out pretty well, too.

Bridged

The bottom bridge is definitely crossed; now to keep filling in the stuff on it and to get that corner motif worked up.

Charity Start

I have started this snowflake for a charity group.  It'll be added to a bunch more and made into a quilt.  Now to get it done...

A Bit Of Bird

Not only am I working on the branch, I got a bit more bird done this time.  It's beginning to look like a picture.

Pretty Eggs

 Real, hollowed out duck eggs painted prettily in Moldovan style.  They're lovely and they're mine, as a local artist brought them to the embassy to sell.

Slowly I Build

Been working some on the second house.  It's getting there, but I've not been able to stitch much lately.  I feel like such a slacker.  Even one of my coworkers asked me today why we're throwing so many parties to cause me to slack off on my stitching.

Moldovan Textiles

These pictures were taken last summer at the Moldovan National Museum.  Andreas just now processed the pictures so I could show them to you, though.  All pieces here have been hand embroidered or crocheted by Moldovans and are exquisite pieces of art.
