MotherOwl is making yet another tea bag bauble.It was slow going, mostly because each of the 180 pieces of teabag hat to be individually cut to size. MotherOwl had an idea. Layer 15 teabags, enough for one whole side, and cut them all at once. A trial run showed that this was indeed possible, and from then on things got faster. The grey-blue bauble is finished!
Lad os lige se, hvordan man laver sådan én. Så langt var Uglemor nået i tirsdags. Tre hele sider flettet.
Der ligger tilskårne og foldede led til en ny, fjerde , side på skæreunderlaget.
-- 🔹🔷🔹--
This is how far MotherOwl had made it this Tuesday. Three faces done, and the segment for another face ready at the cutting mat.
Nu er vi nået til fredag, ti hele sider, og leddene til de to sidste sider ligger allerede klar. Det var kun de tre sidste sider, der fik glæde af lynskæremetoden, men den vil komme i anvendelse i fremtiden. Det er helt sikkert.

The making of seven more faces lasted until Friday. It was only when cutting the tenth face and the segments for the two last faces that MotherOwl used the cut all in one go-method. It will see more use in times to come.
Alle tolv sider var færdige lige efter morgenmaden lørdag.
-- 🔹🔵🔹 --
All twelve faces were put together right after breakfast Saturday.
Så hentede Uglemor den grimme brune tråd og en nål og begyndte at sy.
-- 🔹🔷🔹 --
MotherOwl found the ugly brown yarn and a big needle and began sewing.
Først syr man seks sider sammen til en flad, snefnuglignende ting. Her er den første færdig.
-- 🔹💙🔹 --
Six faces are sewn together into a snowflake-like structure.
Og to styks flade snefnug.
-- 🔹🔵🔹 --
And now there's two strange snowflakes.
Uglemor syr og syr - og binder knuder op på tråden. Nu ligner det noget, men måske liger det mest en hjelm? Det syntes de andre i hvert fald, da Uglemor syede videre under formiddagskaffen.
-- 🔹🔷🔹 --
MotherOwl just keeps on sewing and untangling her yarn. The bauble takes form. Now it is in the form of a strange helmet. At last that is what the other inhabitants said during coffee-break.
Men Uglemor lader sig ikke stoppe af sære hjelme. Hun fortsætter ufortrødent indtil kuglen er færdig og kaffen drukket.
-- 🔹💙🔹 --
But strange helmets and laughter did not deter MotherOwl. She persisted until the coffee was drunk and the bauble was done.
TA-DAA!
Wonderful! Those are so nice, and you are very patient. What do you use them to decorate?
