Starting to Garden

We were driving around Poland earlier this month, and I brought this with me. I'd done a lot of other stitching and had the bug to begin something new. The fabric is a lot more yellow than in the photo. It's Garden of Zig by Ink Circles using the recommended floss. Will probably get more work in the new year.
 

Diamond Elegance Done

Changing out the colors truly changed the look of this. I like the way it turned out and will probably make another version next year.

 

Empty Border Crossing

After the long wait at the border crossing last year, we decided to try a different one last May. This is the Florina crossing. It's close to Lake Ohrid, and as you can see in the photo, it was empty at midday on a holiday weekend. This worked out well for us, as we were going to Edessa.

Upper Pozzuoli Views

Pozzuoli is kind of split by the side of a hill. Below the hill is the shore. Above is most of the city. We climbed the hill and saw these bits.



 

Sleeping Puppies

Daytime naps in Leonora's bed.


 

Some Scrolly Bits

Almost done with the cross stitches on the upper right corner in the photo. Which is the upper left corner of the piece.

 

Halfway Point

Yay, definitely at the halfway point.
