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.

Asparagus is yummy. A few years ago I bought a slim booklet titled Spargelrezepte in Vienna and sometimes experiment with it. Alas, most of the recipes ask for ingredients I either can't get here or don't like - a great source of improvisation, actually, to figure out what to replace them with. *g*
