oh la vie des fois....
Il y a des fois ou rien ne va. Aucun projet n'arrive a aboutir. Pas seulement un mais plusieurs en même temps. J'appelle ca les moments loser. C'est très énervant et démoralisant. Plusieurs solutions a ce problème:1 Tout laisser tomber2 Serrer les fesses...

La honte

La honte
Voila, quand je fais mes ventes, je me trimbalais toujours avec ce sac en papier. Indispensable pour transporter tout mon petit bazar (sacs, carnet, bolduc). Pour quelqu'un qui fait des sac, quelle honte.... Donc voila, c'est chose faite, j'ai maintenant...

Activité en mode ralentie et en même temps hyper speed. Je m'explique: Thing 1 est a la maison pour deux semaines "sans" amygdales donc mega cocooning de mon grand. C'est incroyable comme l'instinct maternel animal reaparait en cas de crise. A 11 ans...

Sorry about all the typos in my first post, I was so nervous that I did not re-read what I had written. But then come to think of it I never do, nervous or not! So I guess you might have to put up with it. Today, I wanted to carry on with my tour of my...

No, I am not broody

No, I am not broody
Last saturday, I was doing this market and I always like to take a little project while waiting for customers. As the sewing machine is not very practical, it's always knitting. The funny thing about knitting is that I always have a little bit of stage...

The bag that was in my head

The bag that was in my head
Ages ago, there was this woman in the street with a fantastic bag. The picture of it has been stored somewhere in my head all that time, and FINALLY, today I got to make my version of what I saw. And for once, it turned out just about how I had pictured...

Yesterday I was feeling beurgh, probably something to do with the fact that here it has been raining since I can't even remember when. So, anyway, I did what I do to sheer me up: I painted a wall. Ahhh, feeling much better. Don't get me wrong I haven't...

Petit Week-end

Petit Week-end
We went to Brussells to visit some friends this weekend and it was lovely. The kind of weekend where you disconnect entirely from reality, from THE routine. Not to mention my friend's great cooking, the pain au chocolat from Le Pain Quotidien, and a trip...
