The Hats...

So far, I have 4 hats done. If I could just knit and crochet a little faster...that would be great!

New Cards

Hats off to knitting...

After figuring out how to make this hat...I am hooked on knitting. Even though it takes me forever...the process is definitely worth the product!

Thanks Debbie Bliss for making the art of knitting not so impossible.

New Cards for the Art Show!!!

The Tooth Fairy Card - for those children that have lost their first tooth. Coins can be slipped under the pillow (There is a small envelope.) in the card.

A pleasant friendship card with quotes from Dickenson and Emerson written on the inside...

Five down...many more to go.

I would like to have 30 handmade cards for the show.

I would also like to have 10-15 photo cards too. The photos used on the cards will be from my trip to Romania and Moldova this summer. Most of the proceeds from the photo cards will be sent to my friend who is a missionary in Moldova.

I am also making hats - child and doll size.

If I get ambitious...that is a big if...I will post a picture of them.

The contest...

The top left is the entered pie for today's pie baking contest...

I hope they like it!

UPDATE: Apparently they did...I won the 2nd Place Ribbon and $10.

Grasshopper Cookies

Hey, Rach...

Remember when dad first bought and brought home Grasshopper cookies. I was not going to eat them because I thought they were actually cookies made with grasshoppers.:)

Pie Time

Today is the big History Fair and I have entered the apple pie contest. I will have to put the picture on later.:)

The picture above isn't apple, but elderberry...but oh well.

Old Orhei, Moldova

After many hours in the "office", the 1st master's course is...

DONE!

One of our last days in Moldova...

After a lovely breakfast with her friends Jeff, Robin, Paulina, and her teacher Svetlana, we had pictures taken in the garden.
