wiseheartSince Elise's 8th-term-class has invited me to their farewell ceremony, I decided to make them a farewell gift. So I put Theo's cooking book aside and started making little owls, based on these guys:
Of course, I won't have the time to sew them; making these took ma half a year, for the last group I was actually allowed to teach; so I decided to make a cardboard version, in the hope that I'll be able to finish them in the less than two weeks I've got until the actual event. Today, I cut out all the owl bases and the belly parts, and made a rough cut of the eyes. I'll glue these parts together before I'll start with the wings and the beaks.
The best part of it is that I only had to sacrifice one sheet of craft paper for them; for everything else I could use up some leftover card stock scraps I had in my cupboard. That is, in my eyes, a double win!
Other than that, we had a visit from the chiropodist (the one who can't speak and work simultaneously and, unfortunately, does speak a lot), which pretty much ate half of our day. I thought I wouldn't be able to manage all the cutting I planned for today, but in the end I did, after all. Of course, my hands hurt now a bit, but the worst part is done.
