wiseheart | Another project finished (Reply)

Meaning the Christmas tree garlands made of tinfoil. This year I've produced six of them, thanks to Kathy's contribution (her family heroically ate lots and lots of chocolate, marzipan and candy that comes in tinfoil packaging), and with the three left from last year, I'll have nine to offer. In order to make them more appealing to potential customers I'm planning to take the upper part of my artificial Christmas tree to the fair and decorate it with the garlands. I hope it will help.

Anyway, here are the new garlands:

I think they've turned out well enough, even though the stuffing proved too thick so I had a hard time to push the needle through. Might have deformed the little balls a bit in the process, but hopefully they'll sell nevertheless.

I also finished the little pillowcase I had started yesterday and made another one, too. That means six down, four more to go. Or five, as one of the finished ones is much smaller than the rest and I might keep it for a different purpose. We'll see.

In the morning I managed to jot down a few ideas concerning Crossroads II. Then I cooked lunch - nothing fancy, just a quick cauliflower dish (sorry,

noadvertising!) with Tütensuppe made of the boiling water of abovementioned cauliflower. We had coffee and ice cream for afters, which was the best part. But Mum liked the whole lunch, so that was good.

It was also the day of Mum's weekly shower, after which I took down the dried washing. Another task out of my hair.

The rest of the afternoon was spent with a bit of napping and feeding my addiction re: inane YouTube videos. I sincerely hope that I'll get overfed with the trash, soon, and can stop wasting my time with them. But for the moment they're good for my overtired brain.

Update: I've just typed up another character sheet for Crossroads II. It can be viewed as the latest entry at
