wiseheartI've finished the egg basket project. You can take a look at the finished product here. I'm so relieved I could cry; there were moments when I nearly gave up hope that they might be done in time. But they are done, and I won't do anything crafty until after Easter. I've had enough for the time being.
Of course, the fact that my little pots of acrylic paint had all dried in since I last used them two or three years ago didn't help things. I won't be buying any new paint, unless there's an actual project for which I'll need them. Still, it's a bit sad to throw out the little pots; most of them are still half full. Ah, well.
In other news I did the grocery shopping today. Among other things I bought a small marble cake - the taste is just a tad artificial, but it's soft and moist, just the thing Mum needs, and it meant that I didn't have to cook today. We ate it with the rest of the carrot soup. The Tunfischauflauf got saved for tomorrow, and I'm going to make some tomato cream soup, since I happened to buy some stone hard tomatoes last week (because the price was reduced - now I know why). Combined with some tomato juice and cooking cream they'll make a decent soup... or so I hope. *g*
My friend Evie called again in the late afternoon, which was nice. I really miss people. This hermit existence isn't my cup of espresso. But there are worse things, so I try not to complain (too much).
