Award and homework

Last week, my daughter awarded me with the versatile blog award and i meant to do my homework the next day, but as i am a very bad student, a whole week went on and homework remained undone . I deserve a D-i feel very honoured ( thanks sweetie, love you ! ), although i firmly beleive i do not deserve any award at all. I am a bad blogger and even though i have a tight, crazy schedule, i know deep inside myself, i can sit at least once a week for half an hour and give this blog a little more attention. I wish i were like some bloggers who always have something to tell, some pretty things to show and even though the posts are sometimes simple, they are fun and interesting to read. I love this kind of sharing and i sometimes feel a bit guilty, knowing some people come here regularly only to find that i have nothing to share. There are many stories i could tell you, but the words remain stuck inside my brain. I wish it were easy, but i have trouble to let the words flow. At school, i was a big zero when it came to write a composition. My brain froze...Ok, i am rambling.... Trying to escape from my homeworks...

So... first of all, i would like to thank my daughter Geneviève who gave me this award. She has a very lovely blog where you can read a little about her life in Brussels ( which is many, many miles from home and mommy...me ) and admire her beautiful art. Lately, she has been creating art dolls and each are one of a kind, absolutely gorgeous, lovable, huggable. I suggest you go take a peek and if you fall for one or all of them, visit her etsy shop . Lately, she listed a little mummy doll and some other halloween characters. I just love them all. Geneviève has such fantastic imagination.
Here are the rules to follow for the versatile award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the Versatile Blogger Award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the Versatile Blogger Award along to 10 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason!
4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the Versatile Blogger Award.

The 7 things about me....

1- I love windy days... I hate it when a day is hot and the air is still. Like today. :(
2-After a long day, i love to sit and share a good meal with my family and let's not forget...I good glass ( or 2 ) of red wine.
3- I love red wine
4-And olives...All kinds... I cannot stop myself once i start eating them. Although i know when to stop drinking wine. ^-^
5-I love to spend time by myself. I am a loner. Although i love being with my hubby and daughters.
6- I miss my daughter Geneviève. Everyday... Wish she would come back home one day.
7- I am a daydreamer. I always daydream about anything. I tell stories in my head. I think sometimes i am just a bit insane.

OH ! that's it ? I would have told more you know ? That was easy...Now the hardest part. I have to pass this award to 10 more bloggers. But like i said, since i am a bad student, i will choose only 4.

1- lillalotta for having such a wonderful blog and being so talented
2- pupa art great artist to visit
3- scented sweetpeas for sharing fun and fascinating stories about her family life.
4- Pollen for her beautiful children garments.

It would be easy to go on and on, there are so many wonderful places to visit, so many talented ladies. But the clock is ticking ( tic tac tic tac ) and my day of work has not yet begun. So many things i must finish today. The whole week has been very hot and humid and i lacked the energy to work on some Muffinpies i thought would be in the shop this past wednesday. There isn't much left to be done, but i was hoping to find some time today other than making muffinpies . My head is filled with new projects and i am so obsessed with them, so much, that i can't sleep at night. Even hubby kissed me goodbye before he left for work this morning and he said: " you did not sleep much, did you ? you have too many things going on in your mind. "
he knows me...^-^

Ok, now i must get in touch with those sweet ladies and let them know it is their turn to make homework. ( teeheee )
And then off to work...

A couple of weeks ago, i received a blog award from a very nice person. I meant to blog as soon as possible to pass this award to some wonderful blogs i have discovered over time, but i have been and still am actually so busy, that i find it harder to come here and blog. I miss it though, i love to blog, to spend time reading other blogs. This post will be a bit short as i am short on free time and want to pass this award to others who deserve it even more than i do. I also want to say something about this lady who honored me with this award. I will give you the link to her blog, but she shut it down for some time because she is going through a very difficult period at the moment. It made me really sad to read her email and i wanted to help her feel better, but not knowing how...And then i thought, maybe if everyone of you reading this post could drop by her etsy shop and leave her a little note from there. She may not email you back, but i am sure she will read your thoughts and hopefully this will make her feel a bit better. We all need support through difficult times, so be generous ? Her blog url is purple sunset I am giving you the link even though she shut her blog for the moment. Let's send her lots of positive thoughts and love. She will undoubltedly appreciate your kind words .
Ok, i am going to pass this award to some nice ladies who deserve it, but then i think that many of us deserves one.

1- encore petite
2- beatrice ze blog
3- dinky daisy
4- around the house
5- dove grey
6- ivory blush roses
7- krys kirkpatrick design
8- little black crow studio

My list could go on and on, but i have to stop here as i have to contact everyone of those ladies. And i have so many things i need to finish today. From now until christmas, i will have to be very strict with myself and my tight schedule. It does not imply that i wont be coming back here. I just need to be more organized. I am such a nonchalant and lazy girl. :)
Do not forget to leave a sweet note to purple sunset through her etsy.

Have a lovely day everyone

Oh, i forgot ! For those of you who received the award, you are free pass this award to your favorites and let people know who gave you the award. thanks so much ♥

50 sales !



I finally reached my 50th sale today ! I know, this is no big deal, considering that many etsians have made hundreds, even thousands of sales. But no longer than a few months ago, i was hardly selling anything and i was even thinking of closing my shop . I am more confident now. It is a slow progress, but with determination, hard work and imagination, i beleive it will get even better. What do you think ? I need to mention here that i have been honored by a sweet lady with the one lovely blog award. I want to express to you, dear friend, my gratefulness and happiness for choosing me. As soon as i have a moment, i will pass this award to some wonderful ladies who deserves to be discovered. I am working double shift at the moment. As a matter of fact, autumn is always a crazy period for me. This week end, i will attend a craft market and i will bring some of my etsy listings and halloween goodies i made especially for the market. i promise to take pictures and show you later next week. And starting next week, i will start making christmas goodies to list in my shop, but must make a lot as i will be having a christmas show in december. I will tell you more about this later on in another post. It is getting late and i am starting to have droopy eyes.
Have a nightie night full of sweet dreams ♥
