Back To The "Martyrs"

Starting The Second Half

I've made a good start on the bottom half.  It's going to be a bit of a rush to finish the cross stitches by the end of June.

Part Three Started

Very slow progress on this, but I actually have started part three finally!  This part has birds in the middle.

More Memorials

This is the non-Eternitate part of the cemetery.  It is a bit chaotic, and there is not a single straight aisle in the whole place.  New people are buried daily, and families crowd their own plots - along with indiividualizing them.

Surfing The Sand

This is now in the rotation, so progress should come pretty quickly.  I did just a little bit before the photo, though; didn't even complete a length of thread.

Half A Valley

I have just about half of the lily of the valley done.  It looks like I might stay on schedule and have it complete by the end of the month.

Serene "Martyrs"

This set of graves is of those killed bringing the Soviet way to Moldova after World War II.  There are dates through about 1948 in the area.  It's peaceful and there's a bell for contemplation.  I don't know much of the history of this particular time period in Chisinau, so I don't know how violent or often the confrontations were.
