You're probably wondering what is going on. Why my newsletter didn't come via email.....well, I can tell you it's Ai.

If you know me even just a little, you will know I despise Ai. That stuff is the devil's work. It's stealing from people, it's used to scam people, it's used to fool people, it's tell people total nonsense, it's making people (especially our kids) lazy and dumb, ...long story short = I hate it. I really hate it.

Today I was going to make my usual newsletter that is sent by email. So I opened the app and was about to start building and writing my newsletter when I saw it now functions completely with Ai. You can imagine my horror. Me..a person who hates Ai...making a newsletter with AI??? I don't think so!

I've asked that newsletter company what can be done about this. There's just no way that I'm using AI to write and build my newsletters. I'm not about to ask some robot to change my picture, add a link to it, ... no way! I don't know if this newsletter company can turn off the Ai. They're just following this stupid Ai trend, but I refuse to follow a trend like that. I was born with a brain = I want and can use it! I don't need some fake artificial robot thing to add a link to a picture for me.

In the meantime I'm just gonna write my newsletters here on my website. If it goes well and enough people read it, then I'll just simply continue on here.

Now about something else before I bore you to sleep...

I have a nice discount for you that is valid this weekend. Here's what you need to know to use it:

1. It's valid on only Haked.nl
2. It's valid for only the Sofie Versluys - Craftygenesindonesia crochet and knitting patterns
3. It's valid only this weekend so be quick...don't wait till next Saturday
4. You can enter the coupon code ( = halloherfst) on the cart / checkout page on Haked.nl. You'll need to click on that bit of text "heb je een kortingscode" (in Dutch or "do you have a coupon code in English"). Then you enter the code + click on the enter button of your keyboard...this last bit here is important. If you do not click on the enter button of your keyboard, then the coupon code might not get applied)

If for instance, you prefer to pay with a bank transfer directly to the Haked bank account instead of purchasing only, then you can do so here: craftygenesindonesia@gmail.com. Here's how that goes:

1. You tell me which Craftygenesindonesia patterns you want to purchase from Haked.nl
2. The discount will be applied (within the time limit of course)
3. I will tell you what your total is
4. I will send you the bank information
5. You transfer the correct amount to the Haked bank account
6. You take a picture of screenshot of the proof of payment and send that to me
7. Then I will send you an email with the file(s)

New dresses for Marie-Louise

My Marie-Louise doll has new free dresses! The original doll is the one on the left in the picture above. Anyone who has purchased that crochet pattern, can get the extra dress crochet patterns for free! All you need to do is send me a message here and request the free extra patterns. You'll need to tell me in which language you want those extra free crochet patterns.

The white dress and rainbow dress will be available in the next couple of days. I'm still typing that pattern. It won't take long though. Just a couple of days. Anyone who requests those extra dress crochet patterns now, will receive it by email as soon as I am done typing and checking the pattern.

That's it for this week's newsletter. I wish you a wonderful, happy and healthy weekend and see you next time ☺️
