Thanks for all your purchases!

Thank you! Thank you!  Thank you!  Your compliments, purchases and support really encouraged us.  You know, when we first had the idea of selling our handmade items, we didn't know whether anyone will be interested.  It is one thing for people to praise how pretty or how well-made our handicrafts are, but it is another if they have to fork out actual money for them.  So, when we had our 1st sale and 1st pre-orders, we were very excited.  And when our items got sold as soon as they are posted on this blog, we couldn't believe ourselves.  We started to get worried that we may not actually have any items left to sell at the stall come next Saturday.  So we "jia gong" and made more items (see later posts) and this is the effect on my housework (or the lack thereof)...

... and this is the sorry state of my "factory" after a girls' day in at the machines...

I know, I know, I don't even know where to begin in cleaning up.  But it's a happy problem, yup, a very happy problem.  BECAUSE to see the delight you expressed at seeing our crafts, it's all worth it.  Very worth it.  Ok, I'm grovelling but that's because our stall will be debuting at next weekend's MAAD (more details later) and we're desperate for all the support we can get.  Do you know that if we don't have many visitors or not much interest is shown in what we sell, we'll be relegated to some small obscure corner in a hot & humid courtyard, huddling together with flies & stray cats and mingling with the rubbish heaps.  NO!!!! We want to be promoted to the air-conditioned, brightly-lit hall inside,  We want a table bigger than the 0.9mX0.9m chess-board we're forced to start with.  We want the nice backdrop, the banners and the hype. We want, we want, we want!    

So, you know what to do, hor?
