Friday is my day: Fleurfatale

Today we will meet Greet aka Fleurfatale from Belgium. She is a graphic designer who started to make jewelries with a huge succes. She is another supermom who creates besides the family and home works. Just have to wonder when? From where she takes that time?

7h

We don't need an alarm-clock to wake us, we have 4 early birds in the house!And yes, I would give a fortune if I could sleep one morning till 9 o'clock! Mmmm: starting the day with homemade bread (by daddy and the breadmachine), still a bit warm, can you imagine a better start? I get dressed and help dressing the two little kids, combing hair, preparing sandwiches for their lunch, putting their shoes on and finally putting on the winter coats and hats and scarves... to go off to school...

8h
The 4 kids are off to school, and the puppets who are still home can take a little nap, it's mommies time now :-)I enjoy this silence, I don't even put on the radio :-)


8h15
Which pair should I put on? will I go for a run or just put my feet under my workbench and check my nightsales? I drop a quick good morning on the EST thread and woosh!!!!!!! I am off for a 5 km run.


9h
After my shower and a homemade smoothie (apple, banana and frozen raspberries) I log in to Etsy, I prepare some packages for PO, (I like making a beautiful package, but since I have done that so much in december, it has become such a routine :-((, well now I try to varie a bit in colors, ribbons and embellishments. )And guess what: I had to investigate in a big bag (that I bought on Etsy)to bring my orders to PO!


10h
lots of piles in my house:
- piles of laundry to do
- piles of vintage children books (which I collect)
- piles of packages to send
but what I like the most are the piles of supplies......... yeah!!!!!

11h30
time for lunch:smoked salmon, lettuce, tomatoes and a cereal bread... yummie!

12h

I pick up Meron at school and bring to her therapy, (she has a learning disablity due to famine when she was a baby.)in this institute she gets the extra help she needs, a blessing that this exists in Belgium!

13h

I try to take some pics of my creations on myself (I really don't want my head on it, don't feel like a model) but like this you see how it looks like on a real person, I think people really want to see it like that, before they decide to buy...

Working on new designs, just experimenting with materials and techniques, I made this houses and birds from paper clay, maybe I'll paint them or cover with vintage papers... don't know yet...

I don't make anything in felt today because I suffer from the carpal tunnel syndrom , and that happens when I am enjoying playing with felt so much! :-(A little peep in my workroom, behind the curtain is my workbench, really, you don't want to see it, it's a real chaos! :-)

14h30

It's such a cold, rainy day, normally I go to Ghent to the vintage market, but I really don't feel like it. I am having a relaxing Lavender bad en a mask on my face ( to keep wrinkles away :)

15u30

School is out, I take our vintage bike coach to go and collect the kids, we make people laugh a lot when we are passing by with the coach, and for mom it's a real work out!

18h

Once in a month on friday evening daddy gets a big bag of French fries at the local 'Fritkot', we eat them with fresh handpealed shrimps.a real feast for the kids!

19h

Time for the youngest to go to bed, but first a little story and then shhhhh: sleep well!and they happily slept ever after.... :-)

20h

the two oldest girls claim to stay up a bit longer and watch TV wit mum and dad. My laptop is never far away and I keep an eye an the treasury that will open in a moment... Yeah , I got one! Hubby and I close the evening by drinking a (well deserved) glass of cava...have a wonderful weekend, cheers!

Relaxfull weekend to everyone :)
