sometimes dreams come true!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read a certain email I received a few days ago from a certain lady who work in a certain place:

one of Les Petits (le chat) will be part of the exhibition "Handmade"!!!
Where? at the Musée du Costume et de la Dentelle de la ville de Bruxelles (Lace and Costume Museum of Brussels)
from 8th of April until the 31st of December.

This is the last day to play the raffle, tomorrow there will be the draw.

Toc Toc Toc mag issue 3 on sale tomorrow+the sale of a poster for Japan
(don't miss it, is the British issue ; ))

Ooops...

At the purl bee I found this DIY project, I'm so enthusiast about it that I have to share...

I love it, I bought so many felt balls... ;-)

The baby cloud is on Kireei Magazine Spring issue (yay, thanks guys!)

Three days left for the raffle.

I'm still a bit "coldish" thanks for your good wishes in my previous post.

Spring finally, although doesn't really feel like.

A little girl is poorly today, no school for her.
We had quite a sleepless night, I feel as if I've partied all night,
without the fun of the party!

Thank you again for taking part of the raffle,
so far we raised £260 (jolly good!) the raffle is on until Thursday 31st of March,
I hope in the next 10 days we will be able to raise a bit more.

Here more info about MSF plans and actions in Japan.

There's been a great response and mobilisation by bloggers around the world
I'm quite honoured to be part of this community.

Hope that the week ahead will be a good one for everyone.

Thank you.

We went to the Japanese Cultural Centre, it was quite nice and interesting.

Anita had fun practising her Japanese handwriting
(with the left hand she's holding chopsticks, whilst the metallic thing is an origami of a
warrior's hat she made).
She's really keen to learn Japanese too, she told me one day we will go together to visit Japan...
Oh, I do hope it will become true!
