Alcançando o Possivel /Reaching the Possible

Em Fevereiro, quando escrevi sobre o amigurumi, disse que tinha um novo projecto, ovos, para Abril.
No livro há uma imagem de uma caixa de ovos, com ovos em crochet e metades de ovos com pintainhos de crochet lá dentro. Achei uma ideia engraçada.
A minha intenção era fazer umas caixas de ovos, em que os ovos tivessem amendoas e os pintainhos seriam feitos com pom-pons.
Tudo programado, comecei a colecionar caixas de ovos (num àparte: já repararam como há cada vez menos daquelas caixas tradicionais de 6 ovos? Agora são todas de 12, corridas).
A seguir ao projecto da prenda do meu sobrinho comecei a fazer os ovos (mais exactamente as metades de ovos, porque era suposto eles abrirem).
No entanto, se juntarmos um mês de mais trabalho, muitos compromissos familiares e pouca saúde pelo meio, teremos como resultdado chegarmos às vésperas da Páscoa e faltarem muitos ovos!!!
Que fazer?
Como se costuma dizer: quem não tem cão, caça com gato!!!
Peguei nas caixas, imprimi os rótulos e dentro delas, coloquei ovos e coelhos de chocolate. Embrulhei amendoas em papel de seda, tentando dar a forma de ovo e....
In February, when I wrote about amigurumi, said he had a new project, eggs, in April.
The
book contains an image of a box of eggs, with eggs in halves of crochet and crochet eggs with chicks inside. I found a funny idea.
My intention was to make boxes of eggs, the eggs had almonds and little chiks would be made with pom-pons.
All set, I started collecting boxes of eggs (do you noticed how there are fewer of these traditional boxes of 6 eggs? Now is all of 12).
Following the project's
gift to my nephew, I started making eggs (actually halves of eggs because they were supposed to open).
However, if we add a month of much work, many family commitments and ill health in the midst, I arrived on the eve of Easter and missing a lot of eggs!
What to do?
As they say: who has no dog hunts with a cat!
Got boxes, print labels, put eggs and chocolate bunnies. Almond wrapped in tissue paper, trying to make an egg shape and...







Talvez para o ano consiga concretizar a ideia deste ano pelo menos, já tenho algumas metades de ovo de avanço!!
Maybe next year can materialize this year’s idea, at least I have some egg halves in advance!

  3. Oh I greatly enjoyed your story! It seems as if I have written it! And because I know I am not alone out there. I also had planned like 'thousand' craft ideas to be made for Easter but due to quite important assignments did only a few. Yes, I felt a bit frustrated, but there's always next year, isn't it?
