Karolina's Birthday Party

Karolina, Natasha, Olya

We had a party in our office today for Karolina. Her birthday was actually the 12th, but this was the day we could all get together. Karolina loves to tat and crochet - both new to her. I bought a tatting book for her via amazon.com not knowing her birthday was coming up. So - I had a birthday present for her already on hand! Natasha comes every once inawhile. She is married and today became interested in crocheting a sweater for her husband. We'll see how it goes - that is something I have never done so it could be fun helping her! Olya is our Olya, as always. :) It was her idea to start this class. The girls who attend (there are a couple others who come off and on) are all students learning English at the pedagogical institute here in the city. It has been fun getting to know them. We work on English together (new words for today included sloppy, unravel, treat, burlap, marshmallow and more. Plus definitions for pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bars and pumpkin muffins. None of those 3 foods are usually eaten here...but guess what I made for the party!?!
