must-see-monday : laurageorge

Last week the designs of Laura popped up in my RSS reader (somewhere... I can't find it anymore... edit: it was at Decor8!) and they're so cool I'll just feature them again! Check her flickr and blog out too!

weekly happy stats

Last week was such a happy one! There were some big things like the craft fair and feeling really well, but I also had some tiny moments of joy: drinking a frozen cappuccino in the sun and getting my bike repaired :) But for my weekly stats I decided to stick to five happy things, otherwise we might get drowned in happiness.

And now it's time for something unhappy: I need to do the laundry!

two little friends

Two little friends I made as a wedding gift.

I used to make these quite often, but the last year I didn't sew anything. So I decided to take up sewing again and I'm pretty happy with the result! Maybe I'm going to make a bunch for my next market, to see if people like them.

must-see-monday : minipunkt

Because I'm still not tired of dots: Minipunkt!

the day after

Hello! It's the day after the craft fair, I'm still tired and sleepy, but I had sooooo much fun!! It was such a happy day :D The weather turned out really nice, except for the wind that almost blew my little products away. I had to attach everything, otherwise my clothes pins would end up all over the place, hihi. It wasn't really busy, but I did make a profit (hooray!) and received a lot of nice comments. My button rings and brooches for example sold pretty well, but most people didn't understand my happiness package.

I shared my booth with Isis du Jour so I didn't had to fill up 4 meters all by myself. Such a relief, no stress this time. And besides, it's much more fun than being alone :) Also talked to some other sellers which I really enjoyed. It's always nice to hear things from fellow crafters and talk about each others experiences. And I found someone to share a booth with at the next market in june, yay!

The market gave me also a lot of inspiration, motivation and confidence. I almost feel as if I'm on top of the world, how crazy is that? But I don't complain :D Today I'll take a day off, stay at home (it's going to rain anyway) and do only things I want to do. Ha, I think I deserved it!

weekly happy stats

And now I'm off packing my stuff for the craftymarkt!! Have a nice weekend!

red and white shopping

A while ago I went on a shopping trip with Maartje from Tizzalicious. We read each others blogs, share our first name and both looooove all things cute, so we thought 'why not go on a little shopping spree together?' I was slightly nervous, because I only had seen her once very briefly. But no need for worries, because we had such a great time! Finally I could talk to someone in real life about blogging, etsy, sellling your stuff, buying supplies and all those kind of things most people aren't interested in. And yes, we definitely do have the same taste :)

All my shopping seems to be concentrated on red and white. We both couldn't resist this apple cutting board (who else could?). I'm using it as a display, I don't want to cut in it :)

A cute card and a little polka dot pouch:

I even bought the same shoes as Maartje.... well not exactly the same, because mine are red and hers are blue :) They're so comfy and the red really makes me smile!

Obviously I had a lot of fun this day and Tizz: we should do it again! :D

craftymarkt

Next saturday I'm selling my mamutopia stuff at the Craftymarkt in Amsterdam! Some information for the dutchies:

Yay, I'm so excited and really looking forward to it. Last weeks I made a lot of clothes pins, memo boards, button rings & brooches and a whole army of pincushions. And now I'm almost done, what a relief! No stress this time :) The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the weather, because the forecasts aren't so nice (rain go away, I don't need you this weekend!). We'll see, maybe it isn't going to be that bad after all. At least my booth has a little roof!

must-see-monday : small square design

There so much lovely stationary available, I almost can't handle it anymore! Today I stumbled upon Small Square Design who sells cards, note books and gift tags. It's oh so pretty!
