Back to the hobbity lifestyle

Meaning: spending the whole day in the smial. *g*

I've made the pineapple and marzipan cake. Currently it's still cooling in the fridge because it's too warm elsewhere for the icing to set, so I can't tell just yet if it's yummy or not. One end is a bit burnt because my stupid oven can't bake evenly, but we'll eat it nonetheless.

Then I made Shepherd's Pie, which means I won't have to cook tomorrow at all! Perhaps not even the day after, although we both like the dish too much, so that's by no means certain.

Then I worked on Songbook #2. I've borrowed the real thing from our vice-conductor for a few days and have been taking measures and shooting photos all afternoon. It promises to be a much more complicated piece than the first one was; not to mention that I've promised my friend Evie to make one for her grandson as well, so I'll have to make everything twice.

To give you an impression, here are the photos. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to upload the pics to Pinterest so that I'd get them in a reasonable size, but that can't be helped. *sigh*

My animals will be a bit different - I don't really like the ones here, mine will be a bit more playful. I hope the recipients will like them anyway.

Oh, and before I forget:

Happy Birthday,
dear disthrainsdotte! I hope you had a grand old time!
