A project I started working on this summer during our camping trip at Silent Lake - I’ve never loved chain stitch, but I tried some other stitches for this design and nothing worked as well. So now I’m getting pretty good at it, as you can see in the contrast between the bluebells and the part that’s currently in the tambour. I haven’t been working on it, because of my broken wrist, but the cold weather makes me feel like crafting by the ‘fire’ :) (at Cabbagetown, Toronto)

With my broken wrist still in a cast, and last week getting six stitches in my right hand, I’m not doing a lot of cooking or baking. But I’m nearing the end of the first stage of healing, and I’m starting to think of cookies and soups and all those good comfort recipes that make this crisp weather and these dark days lovely.

Not going to be rolling out pie pastry anytime soon - slipped and fell while hiking on Blue Mountain and broke my arm. It hurts, but Alfie is giving me lots of healing purrs and snuggles, and my fam are taking good care of me. (at Blue Mountain)
