The house is still in chaos and I can't be bothered with it right now. We're making progress working in my craft room though, but I have no idea when we'll finish. Tomorrow we'll buy supplies and work further in the room. We have to remove the old paint, spackle the walls, sand the plinths, doors and doorway and re-paint everything. I really want this done because our living room and hallway now resemble a junkyard. It's not fun.
I also got my first two postcards from Postcrossing this week, at the same time the postcards I sent were received. I'm happy they loved them so that made me happy, too! Now I wish I made a picture of the postcards before I sent them because they were from my collection of Nick Bantock art postcards. When I sent my first 5, I thought I won't be doing it anymore because I'm not really into writing to strangers, but it feels so good to receive things in the mailbox that aren't ad-folders and bills so I requested my next 5 addresses today. I will be making a trip to the post office again on Monday.
On the shop front, I am still in the process of making things and I have new stuff to show soon. I am so excited! This week actually gave me a little scare and thoughts of backing-out haunted me again. See, writing about it actually helped because if I choose to stop now, I will not only disappoint myself but also other people. And I don't like to disappoint people. There are just those days when I don't feel inspired and creative that doubts and insecurities cloud my thoughts. But I'm thankful that every day I wake up with a renewed spirit - ready to accomplish the things I hope for and dream about. I just can't help feeling nervous and scared and unsure about it all but I want to give it a go. I don't want to let the time pass again without trying.
I have also been youtube-ing a lot lately and found some funny and interesting videos like this one. Let me know what you think about it. :)
Happy weekend everyone!

| The video was different lol Too bad there wasn't the translation though with each fart...I can't believe I just typed that hehe It's very easy to discourage yourself and put things off, especially when you are taking on a lot of big projects, but it's good you take it one day at a time. I have so much faith in you :) |

| I got this video in my mobile phone. So hilarious. Hon, go for what your heart desires. You can do it. Don't think too much, ok? Yes, you are one crafty person. And there's no way your shop won't appeal to anyone. We are here, anyway! |

| Hello. I hope you\'re feeling better now. I\'ve been meaning to phone you but everytime I remember to phone, it\'s already too late in the evening. Anyway, talking about funny youtube stuff, here\'s one of my favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCF3ywukQYA Uhm, there\'s a bit of swearing in it, just to warn your readers. :) |

| wahaahha! that was hilarious! i can easily imagine that on a japanese program. its so funny how they try to justify the 'experiments' at the end by studying the movement of farts in relation to how you can avoid fart detection. wahahaha! they really have crazy ideas over here. hehehe. hugs hun! believe in yourself. you're good! ;-) |
