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.

The funny thing is that the designs presented at the webpage are practically the same we have here, while those on your cherry pit pillow are more interesting! Miss Eve, now is definitely not the right time to get sick!

You know what it's like when family visits. Her son and her daughter were both having stomach problems but that didn't keep them from visiting Hotel Mama. And now Mama is down with the same problem...
