wiseheartToday we had choir practice with the Silver Choir of Újbuda (that's the official name of our senior choir). I got asked to sing in the smaller group that will perform the Ave Maria by Mülled, assuming I manage to learn it in time. Yay! Three of the ladies had birthdays and plyed the rest of the choir with home-made treats after practice. Yum! I had to pocket my two biscuits because it wasn't 11 o'clock yet, but at least I could share them with Mum when I got home.
Mum didn't have a good day. She woke up with her joints hurting like whoa (cold weather is coming up), and at one point I even caught her crying, apparently because she was in a bad mood. Well, she does get these moods sometimes, but today was the first time that I saw her cry. She's gotten over it, more or less, after cleaning half the flat, but still isn't at her peak. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
After choir practice, I went to the discount craft shop to buy some glue one can use on styrofoam. The glue I prefer would dissolve the thing, unfortunately, so I had to hunt down something else. The discount craft shop is only two bus stops away, but you have to walk a loooong way in an abandoned industrial area to get there. So I had some exercise out of it, too. I ended up buying not only the glue but also two motif punchers: one producing a flying angel and one producing a Christmas bell.
Because you not only need craft supplies in ungodly amounts but crafting tools as well!
I wanted to try out this method to make Christmas cards, using paper napkins:
So far I made two cards (pictures coming up later), but mine are different. I had some window cards stored away and decided to use them for this. I'm pleased with the results, so I'll stick with the design. Which, of course, means that I'll have to make the basic cards first, as I only had three of them. But that isn't too difficult, thank God.
As a pleasant closure of the day, one of my ex-colleagues called me not so long ago. We talked on the phone almost 50 minutes, and she promised to come over to visit sometime during the week, since it's autumn break at school. I'm really looking forward to it.
