Why, oh why do I not blog more often! More and more things pile up that I should blog about, which makes me procrastinate even more. So this is an update post to let you know what I have been up to lately. The Dad is picking up the kids today so there is no rush, I am going into town for an Etsy meet-up later, I am so excited! It was so fun last year. I love when people arrange these things that makes me get out to meet some wonderful creative people!
This is what I have been up to:
♥ I got seven new cards printed as always with a positive attitude! They are in the shop!
♥ I went to see the team at Gummerus, my Finnish publisher. The atmosphere was very welcoming and they are happy to have me so I am very glad that I teamed up with them! I blushed when I saw this huge picture of me in their Fall catalogue :)
♥ The brooches are nearly ready, trying to finish them along side custom and wholesale orders.
♥ I have been interviewed at the Petite Purls blog as part of their renaissance Mom series. I talk about being a mother and about running a craft business, I hope you enjoy it!
Phew, I made it! More updates coming soon! Now I'm off to meet the local etsyans AND Matt, founder of Etsy.
Thank you Kirsty! I was so happy with the shot that I decided to print cardboard backs for the brooches with the sketch. That's why it's taking me some time to get them to the shop!

Hey Kasja, nice to read about what you have been up to. You've certainly been busy.
Love the pic in the magazine and so good that you are happy with your publisher.
Your new cards are wonderful and your brooches are cute as.
