Celebrating May 1
May. 1st, 2024 07:10 pm... which once counted as the day of work officially - or the day of St Joseph the handyman, respectively. It was a fitting way therefore to celebrate it - with work! Mostly with crafting, admittedly, but I also helped Mum wash her hair and cooked for two days, which definitely counts as work in my book.
As for the crafty part, I've finished Page 3 of the baby book. Here you can see both the closed and the open versions:
The colours do look a bit different than before, even though I used the same paper pad; perhaps the illumination was different, I don't know. I also managed to glue on the "Milestones" tag on the back of the card instead of the front, so that the text within is now upside down, but I'll pretend that it's an artistic step and not my stupid mistake. ;))
In the terms of further crafting I started with the little teddy bear key rings for the Christmas fair by using thin straps of felt I couldn't otherwise use to make the hangings of the actual key rings. Twelve down, eight more to go. I know it's ridiculously early for Christmassy stuff, but these are the small, easy - and utterly boring - parts that I like to have out of my hair in advance. Besides, my fingers are still too kaputt for working on the songbook, so I needed something light for them to do.
For those who don't remember, we are talking about these cuties here.
Cooking-wise I made Sauerbraten for dummies today: the drastically simplified version I learned from the once-popular TV show Kochduell. After a late lunch we went for a walk with Mum; then we took a nap, and the afternoon was basically over.
