Happy Birthday, just_jenni! I hope you had a fantastic time. :)



Me, I've worked on my little angel felts today. Folded and stitched together the grey bodies, sewed on the hangings and the silver wings, applied 4 tiny, star-shaped sequins in the form of a tiara to all 8 heads, made the eyes and even stitched together 7 out of 8 heads. Now if I could only find a good way to sew on the heads without them sticking out in an odd angle! I'll have to try various methods tomorrow.

Thank you so much! It's still only lunchtime here but soon I shall be going out with my daughter to get my cake!

Your angels sound lovely — you will post photos of them when they are all done, won't you?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!
So, did you have a nice birthday?

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I did indeed! It was spent with family and was lovely and lively with the grandchildren.

I can imagine! How old are the grandchildren?

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

They are a boy, 12 and a girl, 9.

That is a lively age indeed. :)
I worked with that age group for many years.

You're certainly moving on fast with the angels now. I imagine stitching on heads is a pain, because you only have a small area to attach, without making them look like hunch-back angels.

Exactly! But I've managed to do it to my (almost complete) satisfaction. Pic comes up in the next entry.

They are pretty rewarding at that age. I swear the 9-year old is smarter than me. She really makes me take notice at times.

In certain things they are smarter. I regularly turned to my teenage pupils when having problems with the PC or the mobile phone. *g*
