wiseheartI finally managed to transfer my newest Linz pics from my iPad to my main PC - all four of them. *g* I didn't take many photos this time, as I made a lot last year, and I saw no reason in making the same pictures over again.
This is Mum, standing in front of one of the booths that sold roasted almonds and other nuts:
The rest are pictures of the wonderful decoration in a chocolate shop window:
Also, MMM, one of my (former) colleagues called me today to ask for my help. She bought yesterday on the fair two of these:
One for herself and one for a friend of hers. Barely did she get home when her hubby spotted the little things, his eyes lit up and he declared that these would be the ideal gifts for their daughters. What could a poor mother reply to that? MMM agreed that their girls (fully grown women, mind you) should get the gift she got for herself. But she still badly wanted one - only that they were all sold.
So I promised to make two more for her. Hearing about that, Mum perked up and asked me if I could make another one, for her friend. Since said friend is a nice woman whom I like a lot, I agreed to make it. Now, I bought the felt, and one sheet is enough to make six of these little sewing kits; I think I'll make one for MMM's niece, too, who'd followed her into teaching, and I'll still have two left to give away.
MMM said it's not absolutely necessary for the things to be done for Christmas (although it would be nice). Mum said she wanted to give the one to her friend, who's coming to our concert on Sunday, since they won't met again before Christmas. And I have three more sorts of cookies to bake before next Thursday - and probably a fourth one just for us. Urgh.
Well, at least we managed to get over to the hairdresser's today, so neither of us looks like a wet dumpling anymore.
