wiseheartHere they are! Nothing fancy, just putting some scraps to good use.
Now, the next project will be a smartphone case of felt, something like this:
Because I got my new phone today. Not for free, actually; for that, I'd have to switch back to a permanent contract with Telekom, which would be waaaay more expensive than using the Domino card as I've done for the last two years or so. Therefore I went to the Samsung shop and got me the simplest phone they could offer. Still not exactly cheap, but I calculated that it would cost me roughly the same as the permanent contract for one year. So I bought it. The friendly young man put in my Domino card, made the most necessary installments, and that was that. I made some tentative attempts at home and I think I've managed to set the alarm for the next morning and to connect the phone to my Internet modem. *fingers crossed* For the rest, I'll go to school next week and ask my colleagues (preferably those half my age) for assistance. *g*
Before the phone business I also had an appointment at the hairdresser's. Now I look halfway civilized again, which is important for our final concert tomorrow. I also went for a food run - a lightweight one, as I had decided to make more shopping days and less weight carrying for the sake of my eye. Let's hope that it helps postpone the inevitable.
With that, half the day was gone. We ate all leftovers in the fridge, then I peeled and pre-cooked the asparagus I bought. Tomorrow there'll be veggie soup, then asparagus with ham and roast bread crumbs and fried potatoes. Yum!
