Hello all,

After a stressy few days last week, I took it quite easy on saturday
catching up on bookkeeping & working on my Babette blanket. One is
more relaxing then the other though…

On sunday I went to my 3rd fair. This time it was only a small fair in
the local Fashion museum. Since it was National Open Monuments day
lots of people were expected. The fashion museum has a beautiful big
hall, lots of day light coming in and it breathes creativity. So this
was a wonderful spot to spent the afternoon.
Again, like on all fairs, due to lack of room, it is not possible to
put descriptions with every mini-art-feeling so people really look as
if it’s just a bunch of dolls together.
When I start explaining that these are 99 feelings, they first frown
and then smile.
It’s fun to see them guess which feeling is which and quite often I
get the remark ‘it’s amazing to express so many different feelings in
such minimalistic way’.
It’s nice to do a fair in your hometown as you meet people you know.
Karlita and ViltalaKim (both on Etsy) came to visit my stand – how
sweet!
You can visit too if you like, I blogged about it:

On monday, I put away all the fair stuff and managed to update my
stock. In between, I helped out our team with the photocontest of
DinaFragola. She entered a photo to win 52 pairs of Crocs and had been
in the lead for a long time. The runner up however was really close so
the whole team watched the competition closely and tried to gather
votes from forums, friends, blogs, Facebook, MySpace,…
It was really crazy but so fun to see how many Etsy power there is in
the teams and in the forums. What an amazing community. In the end,
Nathalie won by one vote and will be the proud owner of 52 pairs of
Crocs. YAY!

Also my partner’s sister and her partner (& dog) came to stay for the
night. The next day I managed to make Erwin’s sister model my new
rings and hairclips. YaY!
I listed them in my shop yesterday.

Tuesday and Wednesday were spent procrastinating a lot. Somehow I felt
really tired. I haven’t been sleeping really well during the night and
I’m up early every morning. It is just tiring really. I did prepare a
lot of blogposts and made a tutorial so it didn’t feel like I wasted
much of my precious time…

The weather is still quite good here so it wasn’t too bad to do the
sanding of my mini-art feelings as soon as the sun came through.

And just now, I posted some pictures of the secret project. Do you
have any idea yet who I’m collaborating with? :)

Hope you are all in good spirits and enjoying life!
Happy weekend to you all!
Love,
