A Very Crafty Day (TM)

I've finished the first cat plushie and am fairly content with the way it turned out. Have sewn on the eyes and the nose of the second one and pinned together the necessary parts of all three that are still coming up. You can do a lot of sewing while watching the telly with half an eye; and since our telly has been running all day (the remote is acting up, so we don't dare to switch it off, unless absolutely necessary), I made decent headway.

Concerning social life (or rather the lack of it), I had a nice phone chat with Gaby (whose little son is one of the planned cat plushie recipients), and Mum and I took out the garbage and checked the post box. Woo-hoo!

(*)Later on Ilonka called, another ex-colleague, someone who retired shortly after me. It was really good to hear from her again, especially as her twin daughters were in my class for a couple of years.

Mum asked me to deliver her heartfelt thanks to manue7a, whose lovely birthday card has just arrived. She was over the Moon - it isn't so that either of us would get snail mail too frequently. Because the bills just don't count. *g*
