Curving Along

I've just been filling things in and seeing the curves in the snowflake.

Bits Of Hair

I've started a different approach to stitching this, as I've been going through a lot of untethered areas so far.  I'm afraid I might be getting off a stitch or two, so I'm going to go from places I already stitched.

Getting Around Underground

 We were a large enough group at Cricova, and had arrived in more than one vehicle, that we were able to ride in the underground trolley.  Although it was covered, the trolley was open on the sides.  The place was cold, especially with the wind!  We got to see a lot of barrels.  We also got to see some mosaics.  The cellars are much more finished and polished than the ones at Milestii Mici.

First Ever Fingerless Glove

I had seen a very pretty fingerless glove on pinterest a couple of months back, and knew that if I changed the colors, it'd be perfect for Kathryn.  So I made it, changing to black with blues and purples.  I think it came out pretty well, and she seemed to like it when she got it.  Now I need to make a matching one!  It actually was fairly easy.


Inside Cricova Cellars

 Cricova's cellars are parts of a (still working) limestone quarry.  They're spotless and beautifully finished.  The casks are all lined up against the walls and labeled.  Lots of lights, so it's not dark, and all the walls painted white.

Outside Cricova

 Did I mention that we do a lot of tours?  This one is of Cricova, one of two state owned wineries in Moldova.  The other is Milestii Mici, which I've shown pictures of before.  Cricova is pretty impressive, and this is the outside entrance to the cellars.





Stretching Across

The second corner is coming closer.  This is going to be another one of those projects that Andreas will grow to hate photographing as it gets larger.  Here, it's about 3/4 of the full width.
