Roundup

Time has flown since we were in Geneva - it feels like it was months ago, and at the same time I seem to have got almost nothing done since!

Seen in our local Migros - I was tempted.

I went through the shops to try to find some felt to make a cover for himself's tablet, I didn't find anything suitable in the end but did find some felt I'd bought in John Lewis and forgotten about. Also came across these giant balls of wool in the Co-op in Sihlcity.

Bunny-shaped breads for Easter, some holding chocolate sticks.

A rather disturbing papier mache kit on sale in Migros Brunau.

Back in Sihlcity, some shop I can't remember closed and now there is a Butler's! Where else can you get a plush mounted unicorn head?

They also do great tableware.

The certificate for my Certificate in Contemporary Science also turned up. ^_^

In preparation for doing some sewing, I pulled out my collection of Japanese handkerchiefs and furoshiki, and washed the ones that the Yamaguchis gave to me as they cleared out their flat prior to moving.

Very happy with how this little box came out, especially as it was my first time using interfacing! I gave it to Mom and she is now using it to keep her glasses in.

A discreet pot of shamrock on the table when we went out to celebrate Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary at Aqua.



Views of Portmarnock beach on a very windy afternoon as I headed in to town.
