I've made some progress. All the Marys and Josephs and mangers - save for a single one of each - are now firmly stitched on. It was pleasant work, only two layers of felt, and one of them not even hard were a blessing for my fingers. Weekdays are good because there's programs on the telly during which I can sew to my heart's desire, and even allow all that German speech sicker into my brain unnoticed... great for keeping the vocabulary alive!
