Eine bastelwütige Frau

[wiseheart]

... is, according to the Germans, a woman who is very fond of crafting. (The things one can learn in a convent are amazing!)

So, lo and behold, here is Page 5 of the songbook, now complete:



Except for the fact that the donkey's nostrils could be mistaken for another set of eyes, I'm very content with the outcome. Coming up next: the cow for Page 6!

I've also begun to paint on all the ice cream sticks, coffee stirrers and other wooden items I had collected during the last year. So far I've managed 157 individual pieces, at least half of which will need another coating as both sides will be visible. I hope to get everything painted and dried during the weekend; then I can put them away for later use. Like these things. The upside is that some sticks can be used in their natural state; and there are some coloured ones I've bought or got from the most generous badly_knitted, back in the Stone Age when people could send small stuff to Hungary without the recipient being taxed over both ears for them.

I also had a phone call from my friend (and ex-colleague), the art teacher. She'd just spent two weeks in England: one week in London and another one cruising the countryside with a leased car. I'm trying very hard not to die from sheer envy. She's more than deserved something good, the poor thing.

I've never think I'd write that but your donkey's nostrils are perfect in my opinion! ;-)

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say... *g*
