Life.. and some stitching

Ever since the beginning of the year, life has been life-ing big time! Dad's health took a turn for the worse and has been in and out of hospital. He's slightly better and things are falling into a new routine now.

So, feels like a lot has happened in 3 months, yet not much has happened 😑

I did manage to put in a few stitches on project Amma

..and here's where I am. Just about 10% is left and I just can't wait to see Her completed

..here's the ORTS from the last few months' stitching.

That's the story from my end dear friends. Till next time.. be happy.. keep stitching.. Au Revoir!

TUSAL and progress

Oh what hectic days these are!! With more stress I should say that I have been on a crafting detox. But I have diligently tried to contribute atleast one ORT to my TUSAL jar the last month. So, here it is

And here's the progress on Seashells

I am now trying to finish atleast a row in a day. Hope I keep up the pace and make considerable progress

On the baking front, I tried a new recipe - Lemon clove loaf with lemon drizzle

This time I let go of all my inhibitions and decided to experiment. The original recipe called for 3 eggs. As a first attempt, I used 3 tbsp of flax seed powder to replace the eggs. As there was no other leavening in the recipe, I added some baking powder. Later I found the batter was not of the right consistency, so added milk till I felt it looked right. Just out of some "inner voice" added a tsp of vinegar. The result was an amazingly soft and moist loaf. I was really pleased with the outcome.
I plan to try this recipe with a few other egg replacers and find the best.

That's the updates from me now friends. Till next time.. Take care.. Be happy.. Keep stitching.. Au Revoir
