One Animal At A Time

I'm working my way left to right one animal at a time.  I've gotten the wolf and bird done; it's time to add a rabbit.

My New Favorite

If I was drinking vodka neat, I always preferred Zubrovka.  It tasted better.  When we went to Krakow, however, I found a better vodka!  It's still Zubrovka, but it's premium and the color of whiskey.  The taste is so smooth and doesn't burn like other vodkas.  If you can get your hands on some, try it.  I don't know if it's available in the US.

Use For Old CDs...

It turns out I've found a use for old CDs.  I used two of them to make this ornament.  You could pad the ornament if you want; I didn't.  I just laced the front over one CD and the backing fabric over the other, then sewed them together using the gold cording.  Voila!  A pretty ornament that's got some recycling, too.

Dinner And A Show

 Normally Andreas would never do something like this, but he indulged me in Krakow.  We went to a place that had a set dinner and a show.  I wanted to see if anything looked familiar to me from watching my grandfather as a child.  It wasn't, but that's not surprising.  Some of the songs and dances were vaguely familiar, though.  The area they had to work with was tiny!  The show was good, and I have video of it.  I'll try to put the video up soon.

Getting Closer

I'm getting close to being done with part six.  I will be soooo happy when I'm done with it!  It's been about a year that I've been working on parts five and six together, and it's time to be done.

Food At The Outdoor Market

Raspberry pierogies!  They're awesome and were for sale at a little fair behind St. Mary's in Krakow.  I had a couple of plates of them while we were there.  We also had lunch there one day.  There were flavorful sausages and roast potatoes and perfectly kosher bright green pickles.  The cole slaw was good too!  I've found food at markets to be either excellent or awful.  Either way, it's cheap, so try it!

Two Up

The second's done now.  Time to go on to the third and get this little piece done!
