Flowering Out

This is the blackwork project for this month's CyberStitchers meeting again.  As you can see, lots of progress.  It's a fast stitch.  I'll have it done in time.

Cool Old Motorcycle

This was parked in Bender outside the cemetery.  I have no idea of the brand, but it's definitely old and awesome and well used.

Want Some Pizza?

 I haven't shown you any pictures from Pizza Caruso for a while, so here are two!  My husband has started getting black olives on his diavola, and I had one of the same with mushrooms instead.  I can only eat a half of these things, even though they're the smalls.  They're soooo good and gooey right out of the oven!

Kind Of Squared

All the purple of the first border is done.  Time to add in some more metallics.

Bender (Tighina) Moldova - War Cemetery

 Being in eastern Europe, you'd expect a war memorial and cemetery of this size to be from World War II.  This one is unusual in that it's not.  It's from the Ottoman-Russian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries.  These wars are one of the root causes of Moldova's current frozen conflict.  They caused a lot of settling of  certain ethnic groups on lands formerly occupied by other ethnic groups... you get the picture.  Anyway, beautiful place, but hard to get an unbiased history of.  Lots of nationalities, from as far away as Sweden, buried here.

Socks!

Warm, warm wool socks perfect for cold winter days.  Ronda and her husband gave them to Andreas in appreciation of us letting them use our spare room overnight.  Thank you!

More Flaky

A bit more done on the snowflake.  It's taken a lower priority at the moment due to having to work on the blackwork project.
