... and I don't really know why. I actually slept well enough, and while I did some housework yesterday, including the cleaning out half the kitchen cupboard and cooking for days in advance, it wasn't that much! Clearly, my sekrit superpowers have considerably lessened with advanced age.

I didn't even felt much like crafting, although I did sew on a few more elements to the cupcake page. But I've found a whole shoe box full of small, rectangular pieces of coloured tinfoil and tissue paper (saved packaging of individual sweets, clearly) and decided that it was time to make some more Christmas tree garlands. They are made of 'beads' that consists of hazelnut- or walnut-shaped balls of tissue paper, covered with tinfoil and stringed on cotton yarn or thin cord. I've made five different garlands by the time I ran out of the tissue paper, and the shoe box is still half full. *sigh* I'll have to look out for alternate filler material.

For those who are interested, this is what the things look like when on the tree already (picture from 2019, IIRC):



Other than that, not much happened. We ate leftovers, I talked to my friend Evie on the phone, and we watched some telly. Oddly enough, I feel much more awake now.

Same here with being tired! Actually, I never fell asleep when doing the so-called after-lunch nap but watched Youtube videos instead. Yet today was the first time that I dozed off, even though I had slept well last night. Must be the seasonal effect of autumn...

What a great idea. It also has the advantage of being light, which can be important for a small tree.

Those look beautiful on your tree.

Absolutely! Not to mention kiddie safe — they can't break and injure the little ones.

Thank you. I love making them; used to do so with my pupils, back when I was still working.

Our very last live one, IIRC. *sigh*
