Cookies!

Evidently Hungary's Christmas cookie market isn't as advanced as Germany, France, and Austria's.  I found these and they're pretty, but they don't have nearly as many kinds.  

Currency

 These are photos from inside the apartment they've left in communist era decor.  They are of various forms of currency.  Yes, toilet paper was in shortage and became a form of currency.

 

Crazy January #1: Old Country

This is the beginning of Jim Wurth's Old Country, one of the dodecagon ornament series.  It's a bit different from the ones I've done so far in that the edge smyrna stitches are done in two metallic threads.

Pretty Candles

I found these candles at the Christmas market in Budapest.  Not only are they pretty, they smell nice and are made of beeswax.

Easy To Work On

 I got to see under the hood of the Trabie.  Look how much room there is to work, and how simple it is.  This is why people liked these cars.  They might break down, but they're easy to fix.

Edging Still

Le Bouclier has made it onto my rotation.  I wanted something non-counted.  I managed to get some more outlining done; hopefully I'll be able to start the actual bayeux stitches next time.

New Archery Toy

My husband found this beautiful horse archer bow case at the Budapest Christmas market.  He fell in love with it, so it now resides in our house.  Still haven't learned when he's getting the horse.
