The last fair-related attempts
Dec. 11th, 2019 09:58 pmThe fair is tomorrow, and I haven't managed to make everything I had in planning, but I'm going to have a wide-spread offer anyway, so I'm content with my work. I'll take my iPad with me and have someone take my photo, together with the whole display.
But I've promised you piccies from Bärli #1 and the rest of the Santa's socks, right? Well, here is Bärli - he didn't turn out quite as well as the rest of the teddies (something with the stuffing, I think), but he's cute enough. See for yourselves:

And the rest of Santa's socks:

I'm quite pleased with these, actually. They were a lot of work, at least a day and a half each, and my eyes are fairly burning at the moment, as I've finished the last one less than an hour ago, but they turned out well. Mum and I voted which ones will stay for at least a year with us, to decorate the Christmas tree, and selected 6 between us. The other 11 are going to the fair tomorrow. And if I don't get them sold, I can always give them away as gifts.
In truth, I've got the basics cut out for ten or so more, and I might sew a few of them for us later. I don't like leaving things unfinished. But at least I won't be under such stress with those... and if I don't get them done, there's always next year, right?
We had choir rehearsal today, in the church where the concert will take place on Saturday. It went well enough, although such rehearsals are always hectic, due to the presence of the kiddies. I hope both fair and concert will go well. We've worked so hard for both.
