Some progress at last!

I've finished seaming one of the deep sea pages. The stitches aren't as straight and even as I'd prefer them, but after having undone one side, oh, I think seven times and the eight version wasn't any better, I decided to leave it as it is. I seriously doubt that the two-year-old recipients would notice - or care. It is me who's annoyed when I can't produce the quality I've aimed for, but sometimes you just have to let things go.

The dratted seaming ate half my day; in the rest of time I made Mum's favourite potato cream soup and we ate the bagels I bought yesterday as sandwiches afterwards. I'll never buy the things again. They were expensive and they were rubbery. I'll stick to the buns we always buy and be done with it.

I also managed to write a few paragraphs, pushing Kindred Spirits closer to completion with painful slowness. It's like walking through molasses, honestly. There is only a little bit to write yet, but inspiration just wouldn't work. Still, I hope I can get it out of my hair before the next picowrimo session starts. I want to do something different for a change!

I dunno, this was my first experience with bagels and, I think, the last one, too.
