Eine bastelwütige Frau

... 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.
