Foggy Saturday

[wiseheart]

I've reached that indescribable state when one isn't really ill any more but isn't really healthy yet, either, so one just feels down and... well, grey. Just like the weather outside. Tomorrow is even supposed to have rain - oh joy! Balcony anxiety raises its ugly head again.

I didn't do much today, TBH. Well, household chores, of course (Saturday is washing day by us), and I made 3 little felt Easter eggs, using the pretty things elwenlj sent me. Granted, cutting out the 2x40 egg shapes cost me lots of time. Actually, 3x40 shapes, as I had to cut the lining to the right shape, too. I used little cosmetic cotton pads; they make lining so much easier, as they are sturdy enough to keep their shape; plus, they are a lot cheaper than regular filling material. Craft supplies are expensive, so one has to be creative where one can. ;)) Since I only decorate one side of the eggs, I fixed the lining to the other one with double-sided tape and could easily sew on the decorated side once it was finished. There'll be photos later, when I've made a few more; don't want to take photos of every two or three.

We ate leftovers from yesterday, so I didn't have to do much cooking. Just boosted the leftover pasta with some bacon, eggs, creme freche and grated cheese to make it look like carbonara. Mum was happy enough with it, and so was I. The apple soup, boosted with a handful of sour cherries she filched from my cake supplies, went well with it.

Fingers crossed the rain won't get too bad!

Thank you. The janitor has made vague promises to find someone who might be able to seal the balcony from the inside, but if and when that's going to happen is everyone's guess.

Ugh, there's that bit at the end of the cold where you feel like you've forgotten what it was like not to feel wretched!

Good to hear you're on the case for Easter in good time!

I have to start in time! One felt egg takes about two hours to sew, and I have to make 40 of them! It's easier when I have some tolerable TV programme to run in the background, which today wasn't the case. Doing the same thing over and over again can be pretty boring.

Your pasta sounds yummy.

It was yummy - not a shining example of healthy eating, though. *g*

At least, you had an easy day compared to most. That helps when you are under the weather.
