Poland Day 4 - Krakow

 Stained Glass Museum! I've done a bit in the past, but today I learned how they paint it! The process is very time consuming, but the final results are worth it 

Poland Day 3 - Zalipie

 So quaint! I must begin a painting project when I return home

 How do you say tired in Polish? zmeczony

Flying into Krakow was a fabulous patchwork of color:

Poland / Day 1

 

And away I go on a new adventure! It seems like ages since my last trip and I think my luggage is getting lonely. My last 2 mini trips were packed into my backpack (St Louis and Toronto). The big case has now come out of hiding (it's been resting since April) and is ready to leave for Europe. Today, I fly to JFK via Charlotte and then off to Krakow in the evening. 

Half my case is dedicated to supplies to teach 3 classes: needle felting, silk fusion, and a stitched shrine. The other half, clothes and personal items. Yes - I've learned how to travel light. Thank goodness for quick dry clothing that can be washed in the bathroom sink. 

In my research before traveling, I found out that "Not my circus, not my monkeys" is from Poland! How many times has this idiom come out of my mouth!?! Certainly a good reminder when I am tempted to get involved in something I really don't need to or to take on too much. That's how I pack - don't take too much and bring home memories. 

Garden 💗 - Alaska

Not exactly a garden, but the moss is amazing in Alaska! 

Garden 💗 - The Never Ending Story

 

We stumbled onto this garden in Garmisch, Germany. The kids were not happy about going, but then, I could barely pull them away! I especially liked the garden filled with poisonous plants. I have created my own version of a witch's garden! My is filled with dye plants.
