Another favorite thing - a goofy cross stitch sampler I did after I moved in and found myself looking at a random picture I'd tossed on the wall during the move and wondering what would go better.
I figured I could come up with something less likely to put people off their dinner than "The Temptation of St. Anthony" by Salvador Dali. I decided to do a cross stitch sampler, because my parents have a (perfectly normal) cross stitch sampler done by Grandma Florence who still remembered where every single error was 75 years later.. (There are so many in mine, I can't keep track.)
(I need to retake this picture so there's no glare and it enlarges cleaner and the winerack isn't obscuring the pumpkin.)

Samplers were first made in the 1400s or 1500s as a way of remembering different types of stitches or patterns. Over time they evolved into pieces of work made by young girls, proving their knowledge and patience.
The Herbert has over 60 samplers in its collection. With volunteers from NADFAS we have recently completed a project to improve their storage and to make them more accessible. You can see some of the samplers on display at the Herbert in the History Gallery, Connected and in What's in Store.
I missed my Busia's cooking so much, I couldn't decide from one thing to the next what to get. So in the end I settled for a bit of everything I like :) Bigos (hunter's stew), Golobki (stuffed cabbage), Placki (a potato pancake), Sausage with Kapusta (sauerkraut), and three Pierogi (one with meat paste filling, one with potato and cheese, one with mushroom and sauerkraut).
