My creative space today

On my desk today:,
it took me a while to decide what I will work on, today!

- I have plans to make a girly earring collection (from age 8 till 15), I made some fabric studs to sell at the fair sunday and they were very popular, they were priced 9 Euro, and that seems a good price for these girls!

- I have to take up the making of teapot cards too, lots of people ask for them, but yes,... lack of time....


Some cat heads need to be pimped!




- I did made some Japanese Garden earrings yesterday, I gave them silver hooks and now have to put them on the paper tags.


and now I can fill the Japanese Washi rings with resin, kids stuff is all around here, so why not use the Play Doh clay to have a sturdy base for the rings :-))


- I also have an order for a Silk Diva Cascade necklace, so I could wet my hands today and do some felting....


- and finally I will make soup out of this lovely Pumpkin,I got from a very sweet friend, I'll blog about it later when I post the soup recipe!


- But I started cutting those butterflies, I 'tell you soon what I am up to with them :-)

The EST Salesfairies

My Sales fairy arrived in Hungary, I love her place at the window, I guess she has a great view on Budapest from there! (Wish I was there!)
Good Luck with her Krisztina!!!! (check out Krisztina's blog here. And especially this blogpost about recycling bubble mailers, cool idea for a better world)

The sales fairy I catched, arrived here too, have to look for a cosy place for her, she came all the way from Finland and was designed by a textile designer who's work I adore: Karuski!




She was so beautiful packed! Minna recycles her bubble mailers too and I must say : very well done! Yay for recycling and repurposing!
Also her packaging is so very her and my taste: vintage flower wallpaper stichted to a cute sack. Check out her work and packaging here.
Minna included a little goodie: some sweet vintage wooden beads! thank you sooomuch Minna!

doesn't she hangs nice here! I think she likes it here a lot, for a moment I thought she was whistling :-))

Wide awake

pfff, Insomnia, I hate it!
One of the kids woke me up very early this morning, she is back to sleep, but my head is spinning and I can't sleep anymore!
This is the most early blogpost I ever wrote!

A mix of
- Ethiopean silver beads
- handfelted wool pebbles
- Silk beads from repurposed ties
- recycled distressed wooden beads

Back from the Bazar!

A quick blogpost to thank all my customers who brought me a visit at the Bazar!
I am so happy with all the lovely compliments and the support! It motivates me to create :-)

My Japanese garden rings and earrings were a real hit at the fair! But also the Cool Cat brooches found many new homes :-)

So I'll be there next year, that is for sure!

My blurry head forgot to take my Gift certificates to the fair, so I want to mention them here again! They are in my Etsy shop, but I sell them also offline.

Voor de nederlandstalige lezers: ik heb ook geschenkbonnen te koop, die kunnen per e-mail (fleurfatale@live.com) aangevraagd worden en worden per overschrijving betaald. Wie de bon ontvangt kan online kopen in mijn shop, maar kan ook bij mij thuis langskomen om te kiezen en te passen :-) (en ik ontwerp ook op maat!) :-)

My Friday Night Outfit

I haven't had much time lately, preparing for the fair tomorrow..
and again busy with all sorts of things; like meeting with teachers, therapists,..
but also doctor appointments, hairdressers, ...
Having four kids ( 2 of them with special needs) is really like running a little nursery...

so I just took a pic of my (real life) outfit today (and tonight).
(hm, I look a bit ecxhausted, don't I?)

Maybe I see you at the fair in Ghent...
If you are a follower of my blog, just tell me when you visit me at the Bazar,
I have a little surprise for you...
