Weihnachtswichteln

[wiseheart]

Not the grumpy, hairy, potato-nosed Scandinavian ones. These Christmas gnomes are young, happy and very colourful. *g*



I also folded, filled and painted with cat faces over 30 empty toilet rolls. The number of surprise boxes is beyond 70 now, and I hope there will be more till December. These things are always very popular with the younger kids.

Other than that, I had kitchen duty today. I fried fish fingers (bought ready-made ones, bought at Lidl) with parsley potatoes from the scratch. On the baking side, I made French custard slices, which are basically two pieces of puff pastry, with a layer of vanilla custard and a layer of whipped cream in-between, plus a strong coffee glaze on top. They belong to the usual "ugly but yummy" category, which is still better than the other way round, right?

That took all morning. We then watched some telly and took nice, long naps in the afternoon. I love days like this.

Your little gnomes are adorable. I'm certain they'll go down well at the fair. What do you put in your little kitty boxes?

Anything that was small enough to fit in: little wooden items, stickers candy…

Thank you. :)

Thanks. I am happy how they turned out.

That sums it up perfectly. 😉

I was curious because I once made an advent calendar of little boxes and had trouble finding stuff small enough to fit. I remember having to resort to chocolates for some of them.
