WIP Wednesday: Almost finished!

I am now back in Budapest!  I flew in about 10 AM this morning and slight of the Danube river was beautiful from the air with all of the bridges crossing the river.  Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures to show you.




I do have pictures from when I went to Opusztaszer (a Hungarian national park with a pioneer village in it among other things) with a couple of friends last spring.  One thing we saw was this wind mill which was used to grind grain.  It amazing to see all of the wooden parts inside that made the wind mill work. 









Now you may be wondering how all of this relates back to WIP Wednesday?   It does because while I was their I decided to make my own souvenir embroidery.  Now this might look like it belongs on FO Friday, but it is not quite finished yet because it still needs to be washed and blocked (I am also so excited to show everyone that I can't wait until Friday):

WIP Wednesday: Cross Stich Baby's Bib

While staying at my parent's house this week I started to get a little bit antsy, so I went rummaging through an old stash of yarn.  I didn't find any yarn that I wanted to knit or crochet, but I did find an old cross stitch baby's bib to finish. I am thinking of putting it on a teddy bear and giving it away.  Any other suggestions about what I could do with it?

I also went over to the yarn store and bought another ball of the Canadian coloured cotton, so I could make more face cloths.  This time I decided to make it a little bit different shape.   I decided on Tricksy Knitter's  Leafy Washcloth:

WIP Wednesdays: Dish Cloth and Wood Turning

 Wednesday already?  How time flies!  Sometimes I don't know where it goes. 
I was away from Thursday until Monday visiting friends and a church in beautiful Welland. I had a chance to visit my favorite place in Welland - Merritt Island:

It was peaceful sitting at a picnic table looking out onto the river

This was also peaceful until so people decided to turn on their rap music

I also had a chance to sit out by the old canal watching some women's quads rowing.  It reminded me of the time when a lady who lived in my building in Welland was trying to recruit me for a coxen.  Unfortunately, I was moving to Hungary, so I couldn't join the fun.




 
 Now to WIP Wednesday. Do to all the fun I was having I didn't have a lot of time to work on anything, but last evening (Tuesday) at Soper Creek Yarn's Knit Nite I decided to start something small:

I was going to make it into a dish cloth, but now I am thinking of using it as a face cloth.  It is our national colours, so in Hungary it can remind me of Canada.

My mom has also been working on her own WIP this week.  This piece of wood is being turned into a letter opener.

WIP Wednesday 2: BP Kelenföld

Last week on Wednesday I posted "Hope of Painting Something." Well in the past week I stated acrylic painting.  I painted a few flowers that were disappointments:

I chose to paint the flowers because they were based on the first project from a beginning acrylic book.  I didn't really like doing them, so I decided to paint something I actually wanted to paint: the train station near my flat named Kelenföldi Palyaudvar.  (I have gone to Vienna from here.).

The painting is based on this picture.  I like to think that there is some resemblance between the picture and the painting.

WIP Wednesdays: The hope of painting something

My friend from Kittens with Mittens was giving me some ideas today about what I could put on this blog.  One of her suggestions was Work In Progress Wednesdays, so this is my first WIP Wednesday.  I bought these after a short trip to Wally-Mart.  I am hoping to use them to paint when I am in Hungary.
