Something crafty this way comes

My finished Kirschkernkissen:



The fabric is a special Hungarian brand called "Kékfestő", which could be roughly translated as "blue dye". There are workshops where the fabric is still hand-made; a couple of years ago we visited the one in Tolna and I was deeply impressed. You can see a selection of their patterns here, as well as a short introduction to the workshop itself.

I seriously doubt that my little piece of fabric is hand-made, though, since I bought it in the Auchan supermarket as part of a mask-making kit. *g*

Other than that, it was a fairly quiet day, much needed after yesterday. We ate leftovers, had a visit from the physiotherapist, I made a food run on my way to choir practice and got some flat cardboard boxes from school for my popsickle products. In fact, those were the lids of the boxes in which printer paper comes in large quantities, but very good for the purpose.

My friend Evie has fallen ill. I'm getting anxious about my birthday party.

Not really. As I said, this was part of a mask-making kit in the supermarket. All other patterns were either ridiculous or ugly, so I picked this one, even though I actually don't like blue.
