This week, I was a winner of Marceline's Pay It Forward which means, of course, that I now have to do the same. Here are the details:

I am entering into a contract with the first 5 people who comment on this post and then commit to do the same on their blog. Just read below and if you feel up to the task, leave me a comment.  Anyone can enter, as long as you make stuff and have a blog.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make - whatcha get is whatcha get
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009)
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not cyber
5. I reserve the right to do something strange or weird
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.

It's up to you now. All I can say is that I'll make something cute ^_^

But craftfairs, oh my. I needed to think of decoration...arghh...find busts (I ended up making them) and jewelry display.
Well, here's the result of much work and long think tank sessions ;)

And my study now looks like a warzone :/
 

And I tend to find things even when I am not looking. Like this afternoon...I walked into a store with my mum...to find stuff for her...and guess who found something? ;)
 

The whole outfit for just under 15 Eur :)
I have way too many summer clothes, I know...

The 3 kittens are doing extremely well. Frank, Bob and Zoé are growing. Frank is the only adventurous one so far.

Bob


and Zoé

The other cats are doing fine...except from Marvin. My poor old Marvin disappeared 2 weeks ago. I think he went out to die quietly in the "wild". RIP Marvin.

And here's a little game, can you spot the 4 cats in this picture?

Daggett, Zouzou, Pikachu and Mario.
Yes, as you can see I am not finished unpacking yet...:/

My latest jewelry, available in my Etsy shop

Now Dina Fragola accessories are also available at Artfire. The shop is still a bit empty at the moment as I have not much time with all the work I need to finish myself in the house.
And you can also find me on Dawanda

8 AM the truck is there...

It feels odd to see the house get emptied of its furniture and zillions boxes (not kidding, the removers called for extra help LOL)

They were done by 5 pm but the cat move was just starting for us.
I managed to get 7 home on the first day. Got the rest but 2 on the second and had to get sneaky for the 2 remaining ones. I had to give them relaxing pills so I could catch them.
But it's all done now...and they all seem happy in the new house and garden.
On the second night I had a surprise...my new extra cat (the one the neighbours gave up ) gave birth on my bed. I was sleeping and suddenly felt something warm and wet on me...I opened my eyes to see Eugenie (the catmom) with a dark lump...lump was kitten #1.
She had 3 (only 3 I am saying with relief). And they are ADORABLE.

Arent' they just perfect...all fluffy and chubby :) ?

The bathroom was replaced 7 years ago, it was like new...why did they decide it needed to be changed again? Especially by Beavis and Butthead. The kind of workers they hire these days, not too bright to start with ...and, gee...the poor work they do :/
 

Just take a look.

A closer look

Looks as flimsy as it is...I almost kicked one out just by vacuuming around it :/

I just love how it fits so nicely into the the sink..and how it hides the pipes behind it so well. I am not kidding, they left it just like that.

See the wire...it used to be the Earth wire of the bathroom light...(previous poor job of other Beavis's and Buttheads). Now it is officially illegal to use the bathroom light  as no insurance will cover that (most obviously). The fun part, is that they cut the wire but left it there and tiled around it. 
I am sparing you the finished picture, I think you can imagine the tiling work fairly easily. I am disgusted, I had tiled that bathroom myself, with nice stylish blue and white ceramic tiles...and now ...it looks like you left a 3 year old play with plaster in there.

The kitchen. They tore away the sink with it's nice furniture ( 3 drawers, a nice work top)...it all had a nice vintage feel and was not damaged. OK, no hot water but surely they could have left everything in place and added a boiler. Noooo, everything went...Now, no more drawer, no more work top and a cheap sink and even cheaper furniture. Oh, and the tiniest boiler ever...perfect if Barbie wants a bath...useless if you want to wash the dishes.

I love how the doors hang so straight and all...the black stain doesn't come off either. And notice how they tore the wallpaper on the side (no idea why as it was not in  the way of anything) Ah, the love of a job well done!

This must be my favorite part, the little boiler is under the sink...and here's its cable...Beavis (or was it Butthead?) unplugged the microwave to plug the boiler in. Luckily he didn't decide to unplug the fridge instead... Sorry, I didn't take pictures after the tiling was done...but it is quite funny (and totally unsafe), as they plastered the electric cable in place. 

But really, what puzzled me the most is that on the first day they were actually happy to show me their work!!!! I bet they could tell I was totally unimpressed because on the last day they left without saying anything...and with some wine bottles they stole from the basement.  I won't be too sorry if they poison themselves with it. What kind of excuses have they got for such mediocre work? 

In a couple of months a family with 4 little children is going to move in...

The Axe Kitchen (as in "made with an axe")

And now :)

Well, my cell phone pix don't do it justice ;)
I'll take good pictures when everything is done. The cooker is not there yet...and the microwave oven is also missing.
The dishwasher is WORKING !!!! Too bad the guy forgot the instruction booklet inside when he tested it :/ I now have a very clean booklet.

Well Pikachu packed himself as soon as he saw an empty box. He doesn't seem too thrilled though...

I have been neglecting my shops a little bit lately. But I have finally made a new piece (for the EST challenge on Etsy). I really like those new frames I got.

This week my mom dragged me out of the house (fighting and kicking) to go shopping. It turned out I was in a shopping mood after all ;)
