Today was the day — the Slavic Festival in Melbourne! I was excited and nervous at the same time. One thing that kept me going was one of my favourite Romanian dishes: sarmale (stuffed cabbage) 😋. They were delicious, and afterwards I was one very happy lady, surrounded by my magical world of toys.
My girls came to help me, and they were so proud of their mum. They couldn't believe how many people were amazed by my toys. I sold most of them, although one was promptly confiscated by one of my girls!
But it wasn't really about selling. It was about the reactions I received — "These are amazing!", "So magical!", "Very impressive!" Those comments made all the hard work worthwhile.
Now it's time to give these fingers a well-earned rest before creating more toys. ❤️🧶✨
