More felting, more baking, and a generally busy day

[wiseheart]

Not in that order - I started with the baking, actually, then I cooked lunch - asparagus season makes the choice very easy - and finished with the felting, but who cares, right?

Anyway, the fourth Babó doll is here:



I visited five (!) craft shops yesterday until I managed to find the trimming with the pompoms, which I've wanted to try our for ages. The pompoms are a bit large for such a little doll, but I like them nonetheless. The doll doesn't look quite this crooked in real life - I don't know why do photos always emphasize one's least flattering traits. (Which is why I avoid having my own photo taken whenever I can.)

And this is the sponge cake with vanilla cream and strawberry filling:



Because it is strawberry season, too, and Mum and I like strawberries even more than we like asparagus.

Aw yes, another strawberry cake! I haven't bought strawberries in a while now, they aren't selling the cheap imported ones here anymore, just very expensive local ones. I'm hoping these will get cheaper soon now that the weather is getting better.

The doll is extremely cute but oh my, so many stores to find that trimming. I admire you for your tenacity!

I think it's rather sheer, pig-headed stubbornness. I was willing to trim the edges with ribbon and sew on the individual pom-poms by hand if I hadn't found the right stuff. I'm very happy it didn't come to that, though. *g*
