A day in the smial

[wiseheart]

Today was blessedly quiet, albeit filled with small tasks. Those were as listed below:
- washing my hair;
- covering all 27 newly acquired empty toilet rolls with reused Christmas paper and folding and filling quite a few, until I run out of candy;
- making a handful of beads for the next tinfoil garland;
- making stuffed chicken for lunch;
- writing a list for the Christmas baking - it isn't quite finalized yet, but at least I now have an idea what I'll be baking.

Not much, I know, but in-between the normal daily chores, they ate my whole day. Then I talked to my friend and (ex-)colleague, Ilike, on the phone, planning out what we'll make with the emptied mini jam jars* (the actual jam had long expired and had to be thrown out) and what we'll give our choir-mates as a joint gift.

(*) I'll was and disinfect the little jars thoroughly and will refill them with the not-quite-grapefruit jam. Then we'll sell them on the fair.

Little jars of jam/syrup should sell quite well. I find that small households are not always catered for.

Yes, I know. Most of the sales are of large amounts that we'd never get eaten in time.

Do we get a pic of all those toilet rolls once you are finished?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you are interested. But they are already folded as little boxes.

That´s exactly what I want to see- no clue how those boxes get folded!

They are supposed to look like this:

This is and Adventskalender I made for Elise's class, back in 2018, but the shape of the boxes is the same. The current ones are a bit less fancy, though; just covered with used Christmas paper.

Love your icon, BTW.

That's quite a busy day. The grapefruit (not quite) jam still sounds delicious.
