Dani's book - deep sea page

[wiseheart]

I think it turned out well enough:



In the upper right corner: Septie, the sparkly septopus. In the middle of the left side: Grumpy, the jellyfish. I christened the crab Happy. The other creatures are still unnamed. *g*

Other than finishing the page, I took down yesterday's laundry and thawed out the freezer - enough slave labour for one day. Fortunately, there was no need to cook today. Long live the leftovers!

The younger generation rediscovered the phone today and called to wish us a happy new year. None of my (ex-)colleagues, with the exception of Evie, have reacted to the idea of Mum's birthday party so far. I must admit a slight disappointment, but hey, that's what makes us tough, right?

One of our neighbours came over with some yummy tiramisu liquor to celebrate the new year with us; she was swamped over with family for the first two days. She tends to talk without the need to breathe, but it was still nice of her.

Yellow submarine!
This page is supercute.

Thanks. :) It was a lot of fussy, detailed work, but I think it turned out well enough.

And yeah, the submarine just had to be yellow!

Sewing those corals must have been a hellish job!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it was. But not half as bad as the Velcro work. Self-adhesive Velcro patches are a real punishment to sew on. This page required ten such patches.

Gorgeous. So bright and pretty.

Thanks. I was consciously aiming at "bright".

Pretty.

Thank you so much! :)

Having been swamped for two days, she was probably dying to get a word in edgewise. It's good that she brought alcohol, though. The page looks so pretty. I think my favourite piece is Mr Happy Crab.

He really does look happy, doesn't he?
As for our neighbour, with her it's the other way round. I seriously doubt that the visiting family got the chance to get a word in edgewise. She can drain your energy with all that talk, but she's a very helpful person otherwise.

That page is gorgeous — I am trying to decide on a favourite and I think it might well be the septopus!

Brand new species are always exciting to discover, right? *g*

So cute! My favorites are the crab and the jellyfish, but the whole page is lovely.
