I finished my first Alias Grace block yesterday. I had to design this one based on the sketch at the front of the first section of the book and I’m glad it was such an easy one. I’ve looked at the second block and it is a different size but I think I’ll be able to redraft it to end up with the same 16″ block.

Last night I watched an online concert with Connie Kaldor. I enjoyed the show but for $20 I expected more than an hour. I received a copy of her recipe book along with my ticket. She has the flapper part of Mum’s Flapper Pie recipe in her book. I chatted with Connie a bit through e-mail and sent her Mum’s Chocolate Vienna Torte (Chocolate Angel Food recipe) which she says will be in the upcoming and expanded version of the cookbook.

I finally caught up on my Hex-Along this morning. When I was halfway through the last clue I thought I should get out for a walk. I got dressed, put on shoes and socks and headed out the door. It was a short walk as not only was there fog but it was also spitting rain. I walked half a block to the church, circled around City Hall and came back home. I’m glad I didn’t take my library book with me (to return) as it would have been quite damp before I got to the library.

I’m going to spend the rest of the day cross stitching and maybe knitting. It just feels like a day to do not much of anything.
