Pausbackige Engelchen
Sep. 3rd, 2022 06:12 pmThe first batch of my rosy-faced little angels is now finished:

They are a bit (a BIT?) more sparkly than the original, and the faces turned out more ruddy than originally planned, even though I used a pale pink felt-tipped pen, but other than that I like them just fine. I'll have to look around in my craft cupboard for more felt rests, because all other ornaments have at least a set of 10 - having only 8 angels just wouldn't do, right?
This project has also moved a bit forward the sorting of the star-shaped sequins - not that I'd have finished it, it's a nightmarish work (and no Cinderella around to give me a hand), but I've made some progress, so that's good.
Other than crafting, I went to the shops today because we needed to stock up toilet paper, paper tissues and the likes. Then I took out Mum for a walk because she needs to be more out of the house and in the fresh air. Then we did the laundry (or rather Louise, our washing machine did it, but it still requires lots of preparation), and when this was all done, we simply collapsed. Mum made a quick soup and we ate leftovers from yesterday.
Since German TV dropped my favourite Saturday programme in exchange for endless documentaries about the British Royal Family, I decided to take a nap instead. Baking has been postponed for tomorrow - I'm about to try my hand on millionaire's slices; we'll see what comes out of it!
