Quilt for Andreas

Andreas' mom made this beautiful quilt for him. He loves it.

 

Volvo Goodies

The Volvo dealer in Lithuania gave us these nice little goodies when we picked up our new XC 90. It was a good experience.

 

New Design For Me

I really like this C8 design and will be making it again very soon. This one was given to someone departing post.

 

Barbecue Table Runner

Betsy made us this table runner for barbecue season. Isn't it cute?

 

Baby Quilt

This quilt, that I had pieced quite a while ago, is finally quilted, finished, and gifted. Thank you Betsy for doing the quilting. I added the binding and gave it to the Sudame family for their new baby.

 

Potholders

We received these potholders made by Betsy for Christmas. Thank you! We are now using them; we were low. They are appreciated.

 

Pink Temari

I made this temari for Laurel before she left post last month.

 

Pillowcases

These are more Christmas presents from Andreas' parents. They match the quilts! Finally got the photos, so posting. They're comfy too. Thank you!

 

Quilt for Me

Betsy made me a quilt with a lot of Japanese fabrics! Isn't it pretty? It took me so long to post our Christmas presents because Andreas was daunted by the size for photos. I love it. Thank you.

 

Gifts for Leonora

We found a few gifts for Leonora at the wolf center back in April. She was given them when we returned.

 

Gift From Albert

I had given Albert some leftover enchiladas I had made because he wanted to try real Mexican food. He liked them and thanked me with these yummy cookies from Belarus, his home country. They're especially good with tea.

 

Valentine's Present

This was my Valentine's Day present to Andreas this year. It hangs happily in his office.

 

Gift from Tracy

New cards and coasters! Aren't they cute?

 

Temari for Karen

Karen is going to Mauritania. I thought she would appreciate something cheerful, so I made this for her to take with her.

 

Snacks from Leonora

Leonora went to visit Germany to see Njomza. She came back with a bunch of snacks, knowing we like to try things from different places. Thank you, Leonora!

 

Tiny Portmeirion Boxes

When Andreas ordered some other things for our dishes, he snuck this in as a Christmas gift.

 

Pens

Andreas gave me pens for Christmas in my stocking. He knows my weakness.

 

Parental Snacks

Mike and Betsy sent us some snacks right around the new year. Andreas ate all the crackers within a week. Leonora's been enjoying all the jam, too, since I wasn't able to make any last year and we were low.

 

Gifted Notebook

My boss went to the OSCE ministerial in Lodz and brought me back this cool notebook.

 

Thank You Njomza!

Njomza brought these wonderful truffles from Germany when she visited. Thank you Njomza, we appreciate them and it was great to see you, even if it was so short.
