hmmm, a decision to make...

I have started the Mary & Joseph from my nativity scene- (don’t panic they’re not finished in this photo yet!- they haven’t got their hair etc on)  and I’m trying to decide whether to give them bare feet or not to give them feet.

Seb says Mary (with feet) looks as if she’s sitting down, and Joseph (no feet) looks cuter.  I’m inclined to agree, and since adding feet is extra work and doesn’t seem to make any difference with helping them stand anyway, I might go with the ‘no feet’ option.  What do you think? 

To help them stand I had to alter the decreases in the base rounds so it wasn’t curved and also put a smallish flat pebble in after stuffing them, before I closed the hole.  Otherwise they just rocked and toppled!

Today I made lemon slice, and blueberry crumble slice.

Yum!
