Yarn for Babies

The embassy is having a baby boom. I will be using these four skeins of local yarn to make two of the baby afghans. The solo blue skein is a bonus freebie.

I've officially started one of the kits from The Drawn Thread that I bought in Wales last October. Yay! And I think it'll be pretty.

This little piece is definitely going to be a keeper when it's done. It'll take quite a while to get done, though.

Filling in a Border

This is the foundation layer of a three layered composite stitch for the border filling. I do like how the middle showed up.

 

Diverso Lunch

This pizza restaurant is the little brother of the Michelin starred restaurant next door. Andreas took me here for lunch. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than other pizza places. It's also right next door to the Sejm, so it gets a lot of politicians. Pizza and salad were very good, but the pickled onions were pickled in something too sweet for my liking.

Door Wreath

Got this cute door wreath for Christmas. It's held up very well and is still on our front.
