Behold the ravages of steam!

Well I have a woodstove. And I use an iron kettle to keep moisture in the air. My kettle was empty on thursday, and I tried to fill it up. I have never sustained a worse burn. It must have been very HOT because when I put water in it, it just steamed my hand. And to make matters worse, I had nowhere to put the kettle down, just a plastic wash basin.

I couldn't sleep all night on account of the pain. Now I have 'Quasimodo' hands...


But I am very fortunate. My husband is taking very good care of me. He's waiting on me hand and foot.

It will be a little while before I sew anything. I am trying to make a birthday dress for my daughter Valentine. And until that is done, I won't be making my Secretary001, and when I do, I'll probably be making the third muslin, because I like it most.
