Batting .500

First and foremost, sending metta to those in the west coast facing the wildfires and to those in the midwest and east coast shoveling snow. This is one of those times when I’m especially grateful that we live in Texas.

I’m pleased to say that my New Year’s resolution to stitch one peace pin a day has held up so far …



However, I’ve been less successful at my other resolution to walk every day. Hence, the second one of the following screen shots seems particularly appropriate …



Last, but not least, we had a great day with Griffin recently, notable especially for making my favorite shortbread and a great new hot cocoa recipe from Sugar Spun Run



And I almost forgot to show you a couple of the Christmas presents that have taken up residence by my stitching chair …




Such fun!!

  2. Hi LA - great that the stitching is going according to plan - not enough time for walking right? Lovely having aq special helper in the kitchen. Fold up sewing storage looks interesting - it will be good to see if it always gets tidied and closed when you finish a stitch session!!! Go gently. B
