The battle of boxes
Oct. 24th, 2023 08:04 pm... is nearly won. This morning I covered as many as 46 (!!!) toilet rolls with leftover Christmas paper that I had cut to the right size yesterday. I still have some of those pieces, but I've run out of toilet rolls... for the time being. So, the boxes are as good as done, all I need to do is to fold them and fill them. Yay! That was tedious work, especially as the wet glue flagon was very belligerent and refused to let out the glue several times by each box, but I emerged victorious in the end. Hah!
Those are the small victories of my life. But better small ones than no ones, right?
Afterwards, I worked a bit more on the felt songbook, sewing on some more background elements. Not as much as I hoped to, but it was a hectic day. Mum got her pension delivered, which meant we needed to look out for the postwoman (our doorbell is too weak to hear it properly, especially if the TV is on), and the physiotherapist, too, came in the afternoon. And I had choir practice, before which I had to go to the supermarket.
Among other things, I brought red grapefruits and a lemon, so that I can make grapefruit marmalade later this week. I hope it will turn out as red as in the YouTube video, otherwise I'll perform blasphemy and add some food colouring. Grapefruit marmalade has to be red, for Pete's sake!
