Indulging in craft supplies
May. 23rd, 2022 07:27 pmThat I did today. Had to go to the small Savoy Park shopping centre I dropped in to several shops like Kik, Pepco and Tedi, to look for craft supplies. I bought some sparkly pom-poms at Kik, with heart and star felt stickers, and at Pepco I found lovely hard felt sheets - even patterned ones, which is a rarity! I might go back tomorrow and buy some more because such things tend to pop up rarely and then vanish forever.
I also made some progress with the quiet books. Book #1 is all but done, I only need to stitch along one side of the spine and fasten the clasp with which to close it. Book #2 has half the spine sewn on; I'll continue with the binding of the pages tomorrow. If everything goes well, I'll finish them both this week. *fingers crossed*
Of course, this makes me think that I ought to make one for Elise's third granddaughter who'll have her birthday just a couple of weeks after the boys. Theoretically, I should be able to do it until the beginning of October - and making a very different, very girl-ish book would be fun.
On the other hand, I really, really need to get Kindred Spirits out of my hair during the July session of
picowrimo. Decisions, decisions...
