Letting the stew cool
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Samantha Purdy

The stew is ready. The meat has long simmered with the vegetables in the casserole dish.

One of my mother's recipies, a family favourite.

The cast-iron pot is my own. I do love its color.

Climbing on the stool, to reach the top shelf. It will rest there until tonight.

We'll share it for dinner. The grand children are coming over.

Simple life, simple joys, such as making a stew for the whole family, depicted in cross stitch by Samantha Purdy.
