This morning had a series of annoyances, and when ones Beloved notices at lunchtime and wonders if you will not enjoy the evening event - the big evening event - then it is time to create time for relaxing. So, instead of bustling about scrubbing and sorting and sifting, I did what Katie did - TANGLES on leaves. My leaves were quite dry and the pens too aggressive for the surface and the designs not very tangled, so I cut out leaf shapes and tried again. I had most of one done when the family came home and bustling began again, but the little drawing time worked, and the evening event was enjoyable.

| Tonight's dessert: Apfel-Rose (baked apple in pastry), Schoggimousse mit Crumbles, and Maroniparfait mit Zwetschge (frozen chestnut cream with whipped cream and spiced plum), a very delicious finale to a very fine dinner. No I didn't make it, but we all enjoyed it. |
This week had a couple of skipped days here because I misplaced one camera and the other wasn't working for a bit. My boys fixed the latter, but I didn't get pictures of more glass work I did yesterday. I will show you the pieces next week, D.v., after they are fired.
Pretty leaves but I was very impressed you were doing such before making a special dinner and fabulous desserts. Oh!! Lucky you, to relax, make art and then be treated to a fine dinner!
ReplyDeleteActually, I did not make the meal. I could never have taken such time if I were preparing for all that. It was Sigmund's business dinner with his company at a restaurant. But tomorrow we do have people coming for church and dinner, so off I go to clean and bake.
