Happy Birthday, dear noadvertising!

I hope you had a terrific time today, family situation notwithstanding.

On with the project

Now that the front pages are finished (see yesterday's entry), I've switched to the back covers. They were partially done already; that means, I had the floor, the sky and a tree sewn on for each and a cloud for each made but not fixed yet. I've been hesitating between adding a dog house or a bird house next, and today I decided that it would be a bird house.

Aside from the crafting progress, I also did the grocery shopping in the morning, and we had Apfelstrudel again. The Alpenfest version is so good, as long as Lidl has it I'll probably buy it once a week; all I have to do with it is to put it into the oven, which is the easiest way of baking I can imagine.

Speaking of baking, I'm mildly frustrated that I couldn't actually get to it for effing weeks. There are at least half a dozen recipes that I'm dying to try, but first it was so very hot, then there was so much housework, culminating in the carpet cleaning this week, and now that the weather behaves, I still have to put everything back in place. Including all the china Mum has insisted of washing up for the last three days - and it still isn't finished! I wish I could do things that I'd like to do at least from time to time before I get mad out of sheer frustration.
