Doing Loads of Things

Monday blog post #5

I'm pretty busy lately with all my art work but also with running a group of artisans in Qatar called QatART and I need to answer to emails from our members, post info and photos on our Facebook Page, send emails with information about upcoming fairs...
When I started doing fairs and bazaars in Qatar, I thought there are maybe few people who are making handmade stuff but then I realized there are so many of us and we needed a group for exchanging information not just about upcoming fairs but also about art and craft supplies, packaging supplies, printing companies... It became pretty big community with around 100 members in just one year.

This week I took a little break from fairs so I had time to finish some of my custom ordered paintings and to be with my husband on the weekend for a change. On Friday we went for a ride with my husband's friends and we spent almost all day out. On Saturday we went to visit my artisans friends in Royal Plaza Mall where they had a Holiday Market.

Using Mad Mimi for my emails

I'm sending emails for my customers and supporters, thank you all!!! I'm so grateful for that! for a while and 2-3 weeks ago I started using Mad Mimi  and I'm so happy with them. Emails look professional and beautiful, I can see the statistics for each email I sent...

Monday blog post # 2

I'm continuing with my Monday's blog posts! This is pretty cool because people who wants to find out a bit more about my weekly work now know when to look at my blog :)))

So, what was going on last week?

You will think I'm crazy because I applied for 5 fairs and one pop up shop in one month.
If you are interested to come and you live or visiting Doha check here for more info.
Because of that I'm pretty busy and working hard to make everything done.

One of my new products are Christmas cards for which I made illustrations and made them done with professional printing. I think they look amazing.

I also made little cute gift tags with the same illustrations.

This was a huge work, I'm happy I finished it on time and I'm really satisfied with the result! I already started receiving orders :) Thank you! It means a lot!

The rest of the week I was designing and making little closet monsters and camel brooches for the Common Thread POP UP SHOP which will be held in Katara Art Center, Doha from 13-24th November.
Closet monsters are stuffed with lavender buds and smell really pretty :) They can be used as a drawer freshener, closet scent, cupboard freshener, natural room freshener, suitcase freshener...

It was a really busy week for me but I took Friday off and had a beautiful homemade lunch with my husband at our friend's home and I couldn't resist to take a photo from their balcony, they have an amazing view!
