Easter Egging

I found these kits in a textile shop in Odessa week before last.  They're beading on printed fabric.  I can't wait to have the time and space to start one.

Getting In Some Gold

I have gotten some more of this done.  It seems to be taking shape well.  I still like it.

Fun And Food At Asconi

Bits of the group at Janet's going away party.  I'm in some of these photos, though you might not see me.







Crazy January Start #28: Beautiful Bird

This was yet another small kit I found in my stash armoire, so I started it.  It fits with the peacock theme I've been in for a while now.

Farewell Dinner At Asconi

Janet, our Peace Corps country director, left last month for East Timor.  Before she left, she had a farewell dinner and wine tasting at Asconi Winery.  They mainly export, and their wine is good!  So's their food.  Everything was traditionally Moldovan in this meal and the taste was fantastic.  We'll be back when they open their "real" restaurant in the spring.







Crazy January Start #27: Coeur Rose

Well, the top lobes of the heart are visible.  I think it'll look good when done.  This is one of my pinterest finds.

Cute Mini Macaroons

We went to Odessa overnight last week, and Kompot had the cutest little macaroons ... I just had to buy them for the cuteness factor.  They were gobbled up at work today.
