Back to sewing

wiseheartI've laid the baby book aside for a bit (it's my horrible custom to delay the binding part as long as possible; I hate doing it) and picked up the felt songbook again. The individual pages are all done, thank goodness, so I started sewing together the corresponding pages. Three out of five double pages are done, two more to go. Of course, these three were the "easy ones": it's an absolute misery to stitch through five to seven layers, but at least it's simple blanket stich.
The front and back covers (that need to be stitched to the first and last page, respectively) will be much more complicated. And then comes the binding that I still dread. Fortunately, in the bunch of useless junk Pinterest likes to send me, in the hope that I'd find it interesting (including my own pins that are suggested to me regularly, hehe!) there were a few suggesting ways to bind felt books. Perhaps one of those will work. *fingers crossed*
Other than that, Mum had a visit from the physiotherapist, the exterminator was here to do his job like every 4th month, I made fried fish with parsley potatoes for lunch and took a two-hour nap when I was completely floored. Alas, the episodes of The Repair Shop have run out, so we're watching Money for Nothing instead. That's enjoyable, too, even though I sometimes find that the items looked better in their original, battered shape than after the so-called "reimagined" version. But I'm strange that way.
