Treasuries, confusing keyboard and heading back
First I want to say thank you to those of you who featured any of my shop items in all those lovely treasuries these last couple of weeks. I usually feature those treasuries on this blog but since I've been out of the country for almost two months taking care of my mother I haven't been able to do so. I couldn't get it to work properly on my I pad. Then I tried using my moms laptop! Oh boy, it's a dinosaur from 2000 AND it has the AZERTY keyboard. Which in itself isn't that bad except because it's a 12 yr old computer the keys have been used A LOT so most of the description on top of the keys are worn off which made it impossible for me to work right. But I'm heading home this weekend so once I'm back in the swing of things I will be making treasuries again and feature the once my items are in as well. I made a bunch of new things during my stay here in Belgium but I will need to take photos first to get them listed in my shop.
Now some good news - mom gained 3 kilos this past week! Yeahhhhhh, I'm so happy about that. She lost so much weight since dad got ill with lung cancer, the passed away last summer and then she got diagnosed having breast cancer which only added to her loosing weight. But now that she decided not to go for chemo and radiation she isnt all stressed out anymore, has been able to focus on eating more and will hopefully gain another 6 kilos soon which would bring her back to her normal weight. Of course having me her has helped her with eating and trying different foods and dishes so I hope that when I leave she will continue with that.
Alright folks, this is my last day in Belgium. Got to pack my suitcase. I'm sad having to leave my family again but happy to go home to be with my kid, my husband and the animals ... And my own computer as well!
Come back soon to find more treasuries and pictures of all the new things I made and will be listed in my Etsy shops.

Lets go green today!
I made this treasury using 100% Belgian Etsy Community members! I figured with St. Patty's day coming up I'd go green on this one. Enjoy.
I'm working on finishing a set of woodland baby booties which I will hopefully get to list later today so come back later to check them out.

Belgian Etsy Community
Just wanted to share with you all I became a member of the Belgian Etsy Community. I made a treasury with members of that community, except for the first item listed (that was kinda an oops on my part, but since it looks great with the rest of the items I've left it in). Lots of talent here folks so check out all the cool shops listed in this treasury. Christmas is less then 3 weeks away so hurry and do some shopping!

Back in Town
I took these photos when visiting Parc Paradisio in Belgium with my best friend Erna, her daughters Noemie and Kiona and my own kid Sofie. If you ever visit Belgium and you're looking for things to do check it out, it's a wonderful place to go.

Little Ballerina
Another favorite figurine, my Little Ballerina. My Violin Girl arrived in Belgium last week and has found a great spot on a mantel. She seems to be a big hit which I'm glad about. Kinda crazy, I realized ... the material she's made out of called Powertex comes from Belgium. It was shipped to Maryland here in the US, so here I am making figurines with it in Virginia which I ship back to Belgium to a customer! What a crazy world it is these days. Talking about Belgium ... I will be going for a visit to see my family in July. It's been 4 yrs since I've been home so it's about time. My parents haven't seen my kid in 5 yrs, which didn't seem that long ago but looking at pictures she certainly has changed alot in the last 5 yrs I'm sure my parents will be in for a shock when they see her. Back to my Little Ballerina .... I will be making one to take back to Belgium, hopefully she will find a good home there. I'll take pictures when she's finished.

New Violin Girl and The Farmers Market - Sunday April 26th, 2009 in The Plains, Virginia
Well I finally finished this violin girl. She will be on her way to Belgium late next week. I made her for one of my school teachers from way back when. Kinda strange how in one way it seems like only yesterday I was in her classroom and on the other hand it seemed so long ago I can barely remember what she looked like.
This Sunday, April 26th, 2009 will be the first Farmers Market at the Archwood Green Barns in The Plains, Virginia. The market runs from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. I will have my stall in the main barn so if you need something to do this weekend please come by and visit me. I have lots more items for sale then what's listed in my on-line shops on Etsy and Art fire so come and check it out. There will be many local farmers and other artisans as well.
Look for the big green barn located at the intersection of I-66 (exit 31) & Rt. 245 in The Plains, Virginia.
