Updates, Alice In Wonderland & Selling Goods

I really should update more regularly. I really want to, but my schedule just keeps being busy and I don't have much energy to spend on things like my blog. Lately I've been crafting a lot again (and I've also been buying lots of supplies!) and I'm really looking forward to the 30th of April. Not only is it Queens day and is it also my dad's birthday, but a friend of mine had the idea of renting a stand on the market in our town, to sell our own stuff. At first I doubted this idea a bit because it takes so much energy for me to be in crowds/be among so many people the whole day. BUT, then I thought, this is the perfect opertunity for me! That friend will be there the whole day, and so will my boyfriend. So even if I need a little break, they can always keep an eye on my part of the stand.
Not only have I been crafting a lot, I've also been thinking a lot about opening a webshop, which is one of my goals. Unfortunately I still haven't decided on which website to use (ebay, etsy, dawanda? Suggestions?) because I have to choose because most of my items are one of a kind (not all of them are that special but I barely ever have large supplies of one thing, so I usually can't make one item more than once). Today adjustable rings and earring pins (and stops) came in, so I've been making a lot of those today. Good thing I've ot only been collecting beads and pendants ;)

So, anyway, if you happen to be in (or near) Veldhoven at Queens Day/the 30th of April, don't hesitate to drop by ;)

Movie: Alice In Wonderland

Today I went to the new Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton. To be honest I was a bit hesistant about going at first, because I DO love the book and I really liked the Disney animation from 1951, but still. I was a bit afraid of this movie letting me down. Anyway, it was a good, good movie. A bit.. well, not exactly what I myself would have made of it. Also, to be honest, even though the movie had an awesome cast, I must admit that I'm getting a LITTLE tired of the Deppster x Helena Bonham-Carter x Alan Rickman x etc. I mean, aren't there any other good, maybe less well-known actors and actresses? The way the Mad Hatter walks over the table full of teapots and cups and what not, is much like Captain Jack, isn't it? But maybe that's just because Johnny Depp has played so many roles, and good ones they were, and seeing the same actor in the same role will probably also result in seeing similarities in the acting itself.

In the end, a good movie, but I still prefer the book. I think I would have liked this movie much better if I hadn't read the book (so many times) already!

Oh well, certainly a movie I want to go another time in the cinema, and certainly a movie I want to buy on DVD.
