Karen's Goldwork Block
I've finished another goldwork block. There's only one more for me to do before I get mine back. I ended up finishing another block off with a very small addition of a fan button, too, because the previous person was too sick to finish. The block I worked on for myself had a large yellow spot on it. It took me quite a while to figure out what to do with it, since I was only using gold thread and such. I decided, after reading Karen's guidance, to put toasts in different languages on it. She wanted luck stuff. The edges I left blank because I did the seams so heavily and wanted something to counterbalance them.

Racing, Moldovan Style
These photos are from last September, but they just got processed. Moldova has its own car racing league, completely private and supported by local businesses. Some of the drivers are women, and the courses are all road courses. The main one for Chisinau is a couple of blocks from our house, and is a main, wide road that gets blocked off for the whole course. This makes it long and skinny with tight corners - and also makes it so the person who's got the pole position at the beginning of the race is, by far, most likely to win. They race in heats of three or four cars. Races start next month!
