wiseheartI got caught up in the addiction one of my colleagues - also an addict - calls the paper love. Which means creating small (or, in her case, not so small, since she's into scrapbook work) items of paper, just because we can and because they are beautiful. Like every other addiction, it requires lots of spare time, which I don't really have, and a pretty penny for tools and materials, which I fortunately can afford. Tomorrow I'll hit the Aldi supermarket, as they're going to have packages of patterned cardboard and origami paper on sale, as well as sets of pattern cutters. Another colleague asked me to buy such a set for her, too. The madness spreads. ;)
Another madness I've fallen for is Nespresso craft. Meaning the recycling of the used capsules, by removing the coffee rests and making various things out of the small metal hats. I did a number of Santas and angels for Christmas; for Easter, bunnies and chickens are planned. A (male) colleague gifted several hundred used capsules on me - right now, I've cleaned out about two dozens or so. It's going to be a long process, but perhaps I can cajole some of the kids into helping me with them again. Last time they had great fun with all the dirt.
Still, I've managed to type up the rest of Arthur's quest today and sent everything to my long-suffering beta, the gracious![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
