working on presents

With a low key Thanksgiving, I have been able to start working

on my list of Christmas presents.

I am so glad I finished my tree skirt early,

work has changed for the better: I work for a bigger biotech and full time

which leaves me very little time for the fun stuff,

like sewing and crafting!

I need to simplify and adapt my sewing and my expectations to my time.

On top of that, Mon Cheri was injured last week end while cutting some wood with a chop-saw!

He had seen me admiring some projects with wood slices,

like this one and this one from Finding Home

and wanted to surprise me with some delicate slices of branches to play with.

I have them and I also spent 5h in the ER with him and a bloody thumb!

I can barely look at those slices, and we do not know how the finger thing is going to turn out....

I guess it is a wait and see game.

Happy sewing!
