Sunday evening

I finished painting my bedroom wall. I should be feeling happy but I’m tired and a bit down. It’s cold and dark outside and it’s Sunday evening.

Yesterday, the weather in London was like this. So, while my mum was sewing a school apron for Mila, I got Mila’s rubber stamps out to keep her busy and to make some cool cards…Resultat des cacahouetes (can’t translate…would mean something like ‘total of peanuts’…see I told you… can’t translate)Mila’s time spent on making cards: 20 minMoi’s time spent on making cards: 2 hours (I wasn’t slow, I got hooked!) My mum: “Who do you send kisses to?“Moi: “ummm..to my customers“…ok maybe not, will keep these for the familyAnd then, I made smaller ones…. And even smaller ones….with lots of love because we never give enough love and beaucoup de merci because it’s nice and politeI know the ‘I’ in MERCI is an exclamation mark but we lost the ‘I’ On our little shop, we already have a beautiful, stylish card like this and if you order any of these, you will probably want to receive something else other than my dodgy handmade card but I think with these Japanese masking tapes from Papermash, they …
