Border And Shirt

The border and the shirt are stepping up to be stitched.  So close to being done with the border.

Back On The Curb

I concentrated on the bottom area of the piece this time.  Got quite a bit of curb done, if I do say so myself.

My Favorite Church

 These are the photos Andreas took of the little church between Brasov and Onesti.  I shared the ones I took earlier.  I so want to make a needlepoint out of this!

From The Salt Mine

Surprisingly, we got salt from the salt mine - both salt we mined ourselves and salt to eat.  I also got a shot glass.  We ended up with two salt grinders because we bought the plastic one first and it broke first use.  Sad face.  It may look great, but it's cheaply constructed.  The wooden one works!  All the rocks below are salt we took out of the mine on our trip.  It's edible, too.

Borleauxed

I seem to finally be getting back on track with finishes.  I have one!  Borleaux from Needle Delights is done and ready to be worked up into a large ornament for a colleague.

Wings And Sky

The butterflies are truly beginning to look like butterflies now, and the sky is coming along nicely.  I even got more grass done.

Storks!

I showed you some photos of the storks we saw in Romania before.  Those were taken with my point and shoot.  Here are some much better photos from Andreas' DSLR.  At first, we didn't realize they were real storks because they don't move much.  They are, though, and they sit on top of lots of telephone poles looking very comfortable - up to five or six per nest.
