Quiet book progress

wiseheartI was crafty today, although not necessarily in the manner as originally planned.
The plan had been to cut out all necessary parts to the red helicopter page and later, assuming I'll have enough time, to the sailing ship page as well. Instead, I ended up with making the page base for the sailing ship, sewn on the ship itself, adding some background details, and almost finishing the whole thing. Only some details on the sails are left, but I can hope to get that done tomorrow.
I did select the various felts for the red helicopter page, but cutting out the sailing ship promised to be easier. In fact, it was easier. And from there on I just went with the whole thing. Ah, well, the helicopter will get its chance, too. Eventually. When my fingers have recovered from the Velcro work. *g*
Other than that, I cooked lunch, which was an easy affair. Mum had managed to eat something that disagreed with her (we still have no idea what it was), so she only wanted some boiled rice and apple compote. I made an improvised tuna salad for myself to go with the rice (canned tuna, tomatoes and cucumber) and had two small pieces from yesterday's cake. On days like this it comes in handy when a cake ends up too heavy: it makes one full up more quickly.
What else? I managed to write a few lines of dialogue, which absolutely don't move the plot forward, but at least I can state that I've done some writing, right?

Yay you, for getting some writing in too.
I hope your Mum's feeling better.

Mum's back to her own self, thanks.
