Happy happy happy




I think sometimes I get depression from exhaustion. I am really really tired after working a lot. But I won't figure it out by myself. My body will have to put a stop to it and yell at me "Will you calm down!!!???"

Today I sold the 2 first tops of my Spring collection to a very dear customer of mine!! So very happy. And last week, I sold 2 items to a compatriote!

Here they are:

I was a bit sad to let her go. But I am so happy at the same time she found a home and new friends, in France!!

Good things

I have been a bit depressed and I am starting to do better. It is the first time I am having depression during Spring.

My Dad is out of the hospital since 10 days (already?) and he is doing allright. We are waiting for his blood test results. His doctor just abandonned him. I was so furious. Imagine you are fighting cancer, you spend 3 weeks  in a sterile room. First you doctor never comes to see you. Second, you are out of the hospital and he tells you that he doesn't want to see you. You can come and see him privately though and pay the full price!!! (health care is totally different in France).

What about the deontology? What about my Dad's moral? We already knew that doctor was not nice. But then, it is really the last straw. My poor Papa was all demoralized. 
The good thing though, he is feeling better. Still tired, still feeling the effect of chemio and all. But he doesn't suffer anymore and that is wonderful. I can't wait to go and see him in France.

I have been working like crazy but today I prefer to show someone else's work. When I came across Pippi's jewelry, I was awestruck. If you love me and want to make a gift to me here are what I dream about:








But the last two pairs would do too! Check out her shop, it is full of intricate and sophisticated creations.

Spring and hope are around the corner


This is the second week Papa is at the hospital. This past week, there were some highs and lows. He got fever from his white cells and his immune system disappearing. There were three difficult days when he couldn't eat anymore and was really weak.
But since yesterday, apart from a bit of fever, he is doing great. Eating a lot and speaking a lot, which is not usual for my dad, especially on the phone! But this is the only link he has with the outside world and that link was challenged again!!! It is almost impossible to get him directly on the phone, we have to go through the hospital central system. You know, like in the old time? I was picturing an operator lady putting plugs in a wall...
So today I spent half a hour speaking with him and got yelled at by my mom when I called her after! The nerve! I wasn't to hang out at my dad's nose, right? She was not happy because my sis was trying to reach my dad and couldn't. Well, I am the one being thousands of miles away so...
Good news are he should be out on wednesday or friday! I can't wait and so does he, he feels like he is in jail.

In other news, Spring is starting to show the shy end of his nose!! Little leaves, tender green, little buds on trees. Even though it is still freezing and snowing...I was sick all week with a kind of flu but I feel way better now and ready to go back to work. Be ready to be amazed because my head is full of ideas and it will be like a firework!

Last but not least, my Discipline coat was featured on Capitola Girl site and I am so proud because she has bad ass taste! So check out her blog and all the beautiful creations featured there.
