The week of woes - Day Six

[wiseheart]

I had to get Mum's Domino card phone registered, like in every year, so I went to the Allee shopping centre where Telekom has a shop. Since I was already there, I visited the craft shop and was lucky enough to get exactly the shade of pale rose felt that I need for doll faces and stuff and that can so rarely be found.

I also visited the Lindt chocolate shop where they had the Lindor balls on sale - 20% cheaper - so I got a bit carried away with them. But they'll keep in the fridge for months to come, and the prices will only keep rising, so I consider it a good investition. Besides, who can say no to Lindt chocolate? Okay, I know some people can, but I'm not one of those.

But today's greatest achievement was the crafting frenzy. I sat down to watch Auf Streife and thought I might as well start stitching my little felt Santas together. After three episodes of the show (with cooking the lunch in the ad breaks) all 10 Santas were finished.

Here they are:



Are they cute or are they cute?

Of course, this meant that I had neither the time nor the energy left for writing, especially as I've arrived to a somewhat tricky point, but tomorrow is another day.

Oh, and I talked to H. (Little Emma's grandmother) just now. She's on her way to Lake Balaton, where her son lives with his family. Grandchild #4 is about to arrive. In fact, it could happen any moment, so we're very excited. Even though it's unlikely that we'd get to see the new baby any time, soon... considering that we haven't seen his big sister yet, either, and she'll turn 3 in a few weeks. Ah, well, we're still excited.

*raises hand* I'm one of the people who don't particularly like Lindt chocolate. Give me Ritter any time ...

At least we won't fight over chocolate; each of us can have her favourite brand. I like Milka, too, BTW, but I think that one would be too sweet for you as well.

Oh my, those Santas are cute! Where did you get those golden buttons from?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I cheated. I had some sparkly foam stickers in the shape of a five-petal flower and simply cut them in pieces. *g*

Very cute. And yay for getting the good fabric.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Getting the good fabric is important!

I'm a weirdo and not a chocolate fan, but I do like a tiny piece of Lindt's 99% cocoa chocolate now and then.

Are they cute or are they cute?

They're very cute! :)

I'm a die-hard milk chocolate fan, myself.

I think most people are, but it's just too sweet for me.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Just the right thing for my sweet tooth. *g*

The Santas are very cute! I love Lindt chocolate too!

Those are the little delights of life.

They ARE cute. And so proud of their golden belt buckles :)

Which are made of butchered foam stickers. ;))

I love Lindt chocolate, though I usually only eat it at Christmas.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We regularly buy the Lindor balls but eat them sparsely because a) they are special and b) they are very expensive. But as Mum said, we have laboured for decades, we deserve to spoil ourselves from time to time. After all, no other plans I had made for my retirement came true, because of Covid, Mum's accident, and now the war... so there has to be something.

Your Santa's are adorable. My fabric arrived for the embroidery experiment.

Hey, great! I'm looking forward to the results!
