Still Hairing

A bit more white done, including some between the curls, and some more hair.  At least each time I work on this I see progress.

Karen's Goldwork Block

 I've finished another goldwork block.  There's only one more for me to do before I get mine back.  I ended up finishing another block off with a very small addition of a fan button, too, because the previous person was too sick to finish.  The block I worked on for myself had a large yellow spot on it.  It took me quite a while to figure out what to do with it, since I was only using gold thread and such.  I decided, after reading Karen's guidance, to put toasts in different languages on it.  She wanted luck stuff.  The edges I left blank because I did the seams so heavily and wanted something to counterbalance them.

More Racing

 This top car is all done in Moldovan colors.  Some pictures of fans in here, too.









Bits Of Bling

I've got a bit more done on this, with the fence on the right pretty much done.  Now it's filling in the center of the fence.

Thank You Liuba!

Liuba gave me these beautiful earrings.  I am going to wear them to her house today for Easter!

May's Meeting Project

This is a picture of the beginning of the project for the May CyberStitchers meeting.  It's all blackwork, low on supplies necessary, and very, very quick.  Are you going to try it?

Racing, Moldovan Style

 These photos are from last September, but they just got processed.  Moldova has its own car racing league, completely private and supported by local businesses.  Some of the drivers are women, and the courses are all road courses.  The main one for Chisinau is a couple of blocks from our house, and is a main, wide road that gets blocked off for the whole course.  This makes it long and skinny with tight corners - and also makes it so the person who's got the pole position at the beginning of the race is, by far, most likely to win.  They race in heats of three or four cars.  Races start next month!
