Ana's Goat

Ana gave me this goat and I love it!  It reminds me of the puppet show in Sound of Music.  It's already on my fridge and will stay there.

Beginning to Welcome

I've started in on the over one stitches now.  There are several things more to do before this is done, but it's coming along.

Elsie's Temari

Elsie sent me this fantabulous C10 wrapped temari covered in stars and sparkles.  People see it and they have to pick it up.  It even rattles!  Thank you so much for the temari, Elsie!

Mall Food

 The mall near the train station in Budapest was CROWDED because it was December and Christmas shopping.  We found a place to eat a sit down lunch after waiting 20 minutes for a table.  The lunch was good, with goulash and sandwiches.  My sandwich was chicken, and Andreas' was a cubano.  He loved his.  Mine was okay.  The goulash didn't have much in the way of chunky stuff in it, but the broth was good.  We were at the mall to go grocery shopping for sweet potatoes, which you cannot find in Moldova.  You can find them most everywhere else in Europe now, but not Moldova.

Turning Over

Okay, so I am weird.  I have coveted a crepe turner for years.  This December, I bought this nice wooden one at the Cluj Christmas market.  It's so smooth and pretty!

Temari For Elsie

Elsie and I have had an exchange going for over a year, but it's finally done!  She sent me a lovely temari that you will see in a day or two and I sent her this large kiku thing.  The colors cheered me up as i stitched it, so I hope they cheer her up whenever she looks at it, too!

Crazy January Start #18: Mug Shot

This piece is a kit.  I hated the white aida, so I ended up using my own linen.  It's a stack of several coffee cups with different patterns, so it won't be boring.
