Heart Framed

Andreas didn't straighten the heart charm before taking the photo, but it's framed now. I am getting lots of these things done and out into the world.

 

In My Work Stocking

Santa was very good to me at work!

 

Random Polish food

Considering what this is, it could be from any of a dozen restaurants I can think of. Anyway, Andreas enjoyed it.

 

Yes, More Purses

Two out of three are zippered; I wish PLG would give us a zippering option. Anyway, it really was bought in 2023, so these aren't new now, right? Bought a backpack too on the almost perfect sale, and I do like the littles.

 

My Little Well

Is done in some funky colored stone this time.

 

Sheraton Perq

Because we've made platinum status, when we check in to a Marriott property, we get a nice little gift of some sort. This was from the Sheraton Grand Krakow.

 

Circle Purse

One more bag to add to my collection. I will use it soon.

 

Skinny Christmas Tree

I finally gave up on having a real Christmas tree in the house. After 15 years, Andreas still had not budged. So, since I loathe normal fake trees, I got a fake birch and put ornaments on it instead.

 

Krakow in August

Photos from our last visit to Krakow together in August. We will be going back next week. Yes, it was a bit cloudy and rainy. The top photos are from the cafe at the top of the music school.

 

More Warsaw Christmas Lights

More changing color tree and some street decorations. It's very pretty at night in Old Town.

 

Christmas Gifts

Things from the Christmas stash. Andreas insisted on getting me a floss chest and some watches from Capri, because he knows I like them. His gift isn't pictured. It's an outdoor gas pizza oven. Getting the cylinder and things to put it together now.

 

A Knotty Finish

I made an ornament out of this celtic knot. I think it came out pretty well.

 

Down the Main Street

Christmas lights down the main pedestrian street in Warsaw.

 

Little Humbug Stitched

I've gotten this stitched. It's now time to wrap it up and make into an ornament.

 

Christmas Trees at the Royal Palace

This smaller tree was in the courtyard. It was pretty blingy, but didn't change color like the one in front.

 

Christmas in Warsaw

Between Leonora being gone and us being sick for part of December, we didn't get to travel. At least Warsaw has a Christmas market, so I kept that streak. These photos are in the old square and in front of the Royal Palace. No snow, though.

 

Black Needle Society November

The theme for this one was the 1980's. I don't think I'm going to do a single thing from this. I have decided to cancel Black Needle Society as soon as my payments run out because there's so little actual cross stitch in it.

 

Be Kind Magnet

Little magnet done.

 

All Sewn Up

This is all done and ready to send to Betsy. I hope she likes the finished product.

 

Bag Bling

I bought this at the fantasy fair in December. It's now on my green purse as bag bling - exactly what I bought it for.
