Today I didn't have to leave the house or to cook, so it was a very crafty day indeed. It is rare to have so much spare time, so I had to put it to good use.

I've worked on Songbook #2 all morning, cutting out the bases for 6 crows, 6 cats, 2 donkeys, 2 chickens and 2 foxes. These are now at a phase where I can start sewing them together whenever I find a bit of time. Waiting for the cutting out are the cow, the ants and the bears. But this is the easy part. Making the background and then the binding will be really hard. And one of the books is due by September, so it will be a lot of work to finish it. Fortunately, the other one can wait.

No work on the baby book today, even though that, too, is due by September. That means I've got the rest of June and August, because I'm determined to do some quality writing during [livejournal.com profile] picowrimo's July session. That is the plan anyway. We'll see what happens.

Another Hungarian song for children because of all the animals?

Yes, it basically explains what needs to be done for making bread. The crows cut the wheat, the fox collects it, the flea puts it onto a carriage, which takes it to the mill, where three tabby cats sieve the grain and cut the millstone, the donkey brings the water, the cow kneads the dough and puts the bread into the oven. The bear then watches the bread baking, while the chicken and the ant eat it in the end. *g*

There are three of each in the song, and I am making two books, so I need the double number.

Hooray for spare time!

The July picowrino has been on my mind. I have eye surgery June 29 and July 6. And I will have to miss the last ten days of July. So it will be a spotty attendance for me.

I hope so, but it promises to be stressful — again!
