Happy Mother's Day and Some More Tiny Little Things

  Hello again. I hope all of you moms had a nice Mother's Day. For those of you in Europe,our Mother's Day was today. I have two of my kids here at home,so I spent time with them,and due to social distancing I did a video chat with Emma. I got some nice presents which I will show you when I can move freely again! Ivy made me pancake breakfast in bed,and later I broke with my LPR rules and had Mexican food, and brownies for dessert.
   I'm still laid up with a back spasm,although it's not as bad as yesterday. Ken put some pressure on it this morning and it eased enough that I was able to get some sleep, and I managed to take a shower today,(which was painful,but do-able). Still,I'm staying close to the bed and the bathroom, because if I go downstairs and my back stiffens,I may not be able to get back upstairs!
  As to what caused the back spasm,I suppose it was mowing the grass on Thursday evening. I was ok on Thursday night, but on Friday I had really bad back pain when on my feet for any length of time. I was washing dishes in the evening,when both sides of my back and my stomach all clenched,causing terrible pain. I finished most of the dishes and sat down for a while. By that time the pain had made me a bit sick and light headed. It took me back to my working days, when I used to work like that all the time! Then I got up yesterday feeling a little stiff, which is nothing abnormal. I went to the bathroom,got my pants on,and started to feed the cat. (We keep bowls upstairs for the one cat because he doesn't like to go downstairs. Of course, then the other cats, who get fed downstairs,eat all his food. Why not feed them all upstairs? Because they make such a mess,and because we don't have room in the upstairs bathroom for multiple bowls.) My back started clenching while I was bending over feeding them, and when I tried to refill their water bowl I wasn't sure I was going to be able to stand there at the sink and fill it, let alone bend over and sit it on the floor. Cleaning the litter box was an interesting experience as well!
  I seem to always have some physical problem,don't I? Really, I don't feel I'm sick that often.
  It occurred to me that I should have shared the recipe for the Super Crust.(Not my recipe.It's by Cooking With Italian Joe. So here's the link to the YouTube video where I got it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUg0WpFNvI4
  If you don't want to watch the video you can find the written recipe at: https://cookingitalianwithjoe.com/pie-crust-3/
  There was also another picture I forgot to include in the last post. This is more stuff I started and haven't finished. These are a bunch of partially finished and nearly finished mini doll cases, clothes, hangers,and one weird doll. The battery is an AAA one, for size reference.
 

And also the red thing in the upper right corner is a purse I started,but the cardboard I used is too thick to let it close properly. Other than that it was going pretty well. Maybe if I used heavy duty glue to put the sides together...

 I leave some of these things before they're finished because I decide part of the way through that they just aren't working out for one reason or another. Some of these cases were made with paper that was too thick, so they wouldn't close properly. Some of them had drawers that I wasn't pleased with. Some I didn't like what I did for hinges. I might get back to them someday. That doll will look better when it's finished...I hope. I thought a couple of those dresses turned out well.I have a lace collar cut out for one of them, but haven't put it on yet.
I also started this felted cat. I don't have any felting needles,so I faked one up by cutting nicks in a thin wire. It sort of worked. The cat is pretty solid. I didn't finish him though. His tail isn't fully attached and isn't trimmed to size. Oh. And he has no face.

He does have tiny ears. No legs though.

  Well, hopefully tomorrow I will be back to normal, or at least close enough to function.
