'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Advent ordering season is here and how could I not get Friday Afternoon Tea for another year?! Apart from jam from Bonne Maman as usual, I’m sticking with small businesses this year. Redhead Creamery was a huge win on the cheese last December, and Temple Pastries is doing an advent calendar now!
