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.

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*
