Music, sewing and other artistic efforts

Our concert went very well. We managed to avoid any bigger glitches and even found a spot from where we could be heard singing the Hallelujah chorus over 35 teenagers playing trumpets, horns, clarinets, flutes and other rather loud instruments. We were very proud.

I've finished two of the promised mini sewing kits - only that they didn't went to the colleague who'd ordered them because other people needed to be given a small gift. Now I'll have to sew tomorrow, double speed. *sigh*

The one on the right is actually seamed with red thread. When my iPad doesn't mess up the colours, then the picture processing program certainly does. Ah, well, there are greater tragedies on Earth.

Tomorrow I'll attempt to make the last batch of Christmas cookies (Tuesday doesn't count because I'll be baking with 6th-term kids then). sallymn, I'll post the recipes for your sis afterwards.

I'd need a clever closing line for this entry but don't have a single working brain cell, save for the ones used for vegetative functions, so I'll leave it there. Good night, folks!
