Embroidery art, gardening, baking and monkfruit candies

First garden I had in 2023, my shoulder was hurting and I couldn’t embroider, gardening became my rehab. I had prepared the soil the previous year and made it a mandala. Reaped zucchinis, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, carrots, beets, green peas and grapes.

Nuidô, or « the way of embroidery », is the traditional japanese embroidery lifestyle, combining embroidery, gardening and meditation. It’s always been an ideal horizon for me, but living in Paris area and caregiving had me go on a different path. I had a taste of it for a while, it was a joyful time.
