The finger

Heberden nodes are caused from arthritis and affect the first finger joint with gnarly growth.  Since I started taking Eliquis and had to give up Advil, they are really getting bad along with my ankles.  Damn they hurt.  I planned on trying to stitch with the new needle this weekend and during the drywall touchup, the blade sliced through the index finger.  It still bleeds with bending some times so I am not taking a chance with linen.  A bandaid makes it clumsy to stitch. The bend you see here is not of my doing, it's the arthritis.
 
Look what else I found with the embroidered pillow cases.  I forgot about this yardage of vintage toweling.  Not sure if it is linen or cotton, but there is quite a bit.  Perfect for a vintage or farmhouse kitchen.
 
I made the chocolate chip chiffon cake for Carole and took it over Saturday, her great grands were there and they are a wild bunch.  I think it may be the last time for that traditional birthday cake of mom's.  I plan to make the mahogany (chocolate) chiffon one more time and still have the whipped icing left so it may be soon.  When am I going to start watching what I eat?  Anybody?
 
October is half gone, my only consolation is we are getting closer to summer.
 
 I can't reply to comments so to Pamela, I will post the stuffed cabbage recipe soon!
 
Have a good start to your week!

Poor Marly- that hurts a lot and I do hope it will heal very soon!
For my arthritis I take now Ibiprofen -- don't know if it is the same in America.
That helps me a lot as does cross stitching for my fingers.
Get well soon and take care!

I never knew what those nodes were called. I have them on most fingers but thankfully they do not bother me. When we were little, my older brother and I used to bend the end of our fingers and say we looked just like our Auntie Anne. Oh, the innocence of youth.
I hope you heal quickly!
