Advent 2023 - Day 1

[wiseheart]

Which means that for the next four weeks I won't have to think of a subject line - yay! Thinking gets more exhausting the older one gets. *g*

Anyway, I was crafty today and finished what might be the front page of my Christmas-themed quiet book - unless I change my mind. Here it is:



I'm very, very happy with the outcome. Now I have only one more page and the back cover to make. It should be doable until Christmas, even with the binding, but at the moment I don't have a really good idea for either design. Will have to browse YouTube, perhaps I'll get inspired.

Not much else happened today. I cooked lunch, we rearranged the bath to its original configuration (well, more or less) and I made my baking plan for the weekend. Foreseen are three sorts of cookies on Saturday and another three on Sunday - unless I decide to make a seventh sort to save some overripe bananas. We'll see how dead I'll be after the first round tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also laundry day, so the truth will become known. We are both firing on Louise to start in the morning in old reliability. *fingers crossed*

Looks great!

Thank you. :)

Oh that is lovely, you are so talented at craft! And cooking (yum....)

Well, baking, mostly. I don't actually like cooking — I just have to.

Good luck re Louise. I seem to have been doing laundry all week. The one downside of wearing a lot of fleece clothing around the house, is that it takes up a lot of space in the laundry basket and washing machine.

Louise is a jewel. She started without much ado as always.
For us, it is usually the towels that take up all the space.

Oh ... that's really nice.

I hope the washing machine is still working!

She is. We praised her enthusiastically for her endurance. :)

I looked at the cover-to-be??? and thought: Now I´d want to see it with Christkindl dragging along a sledge with presents, because we don´t do the Santa thing here. I bet this would look ridiculous!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We don't do the Santa thing, either. We have the Nikolaus on December 6 and the baby Jesus brings presents on Christmas Eve. But that would look ridiculous indeed, so I compromised. *g*

I like the front page.

I love it! You have very neat stitching.
