Now to the second pain... I fulfil many italian stereotypes, but not the "cooking mama" - but I have to cook. This morning I opted to put in the oven courgettes and aubergines, I simply slice them up and put in a baking tray, when they're cooked I flavour with salt, oil, sometimes capers, sometimes fresh basil. I bet you already guessed: I cut myself - in a point of my right thumb that is perfectly centered by the thread during each back and forth movement done by the shuttle (slip and slide way -- thank you for the pdf Mrs Jane!). Of course, a bloody cut is incompatible with B5200 bright white.
Plan B for the afternoon: test tatting a doodle from my notebook,
... with a dark green thread, stain-resistant. I started and the pattern's working, but that cut insisted that I had to change hobby. So I took out the sewing machine and produced a little shoulder bag, to replace my old one.
Just few last words, not all my afternoons are so fun, the stiff neck won't last long.
When I post again, it will be August, already.

DeleteWe all loose out when you have a stiff neck :( I take a long sock and put rice in it and heat it up in microwave or you could use an oven, then place it on you neck and pin it together sometimes I wear it around the house all day. You works are lovely and fun to see, I too hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteLol it's funny but I'd try if the sock works! Anyway I feel way better, medications did their job. Thank you dear Carollyn.
