Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

This collage needs some explaining... 
1st of December I blipped a failed experiment and the beginning of another version of the little character shown in that blip. The next day I followed up with the start of the other version, and the first photo in the collage is the finished result of my little crochet and needle felted crafting buddy. :)
I needed to show the failed example in a group on Facebook where we all are participating in the Dephemerember challenge, and I got so many funny comments! I took the comments and ran with the ideas for a prompt 'Halloween meets December' and the 'Mummy voodoo Ephy with Santa hat' was created. It also created many laughs, which I love.
I also made a tag for todays prompt, where my Raven is having fun with the Ghosts.
The last photo is of one of todays chores at work, and the stars I've made are now sold as ornaments.
The other chore was to 'dress' amaryllis with... I have no idea what it's called even in Swedish... it's a decor material you put in pots to make plants more festive... we have white and it's like round paper ribbon, thin... I made a 'nest' with some and placed it around the Amaryllis plants. Together with a coworker, we put  78 Amaryllis in white pots, dressed them with this white straw-like material and then we got help to put decorations in the pots too. Some got little wood houses and some got cinnamon sticks and dried orange slice. Then I got back to making stars, and then my day was over.
I got a positive message from the insurance company, and when I went home it'd started to snow. As I walked home from the store, I met a buss driver walking away from his bus. We said hello and after I commented on he walking outside, stretching his legs, he asked me how I was. At first I was a bit confuse, but the I recognised him. He drove the bus I'm taking to work, a lot before Covid, but after the pandemic I hadn't seen him and of course I wondered a bit how he was. So it was nice to talk for a couple of minutes, and then he went into the woods for a break. 
I haven't heard anything from my landlord, but that's ok. It means I have a couple of more days to tidy up and don't have to stress about it.
