It was a nice Sunday. I didn’t forget to change the clock on the oven, which is the only clock needs to be adjusted for daylight saving. I made some earrings and necklaces, and I took care of bits and pieces that needed to be taken care of for Crafternoon. I guess I could have done more, but my body needed a little easier day today, so I explored the blog land and came across a couple of inspiring blogs in different ways. This one blog was written by a Japanese girl who lives in Canada, and her tagline was something I always try to keep in mind. It is very interesting to find the very thing you try to keep in mind in someone else’s blog tagline, and you know I could not resist to peek.
On the other note, the mess in my studio is out of control. I guess I have a little excuse, but not enough to justify this. I don’t know. I really admire people who can keep things tidy all the time and can keep it that way naturally. Being good at something like that takes major discipline… I need some.
Before I go, I wanted to show what I won today on ebay. I am super excited!
So I had to give it a shot. I’m not sure what’s going to happen, but we’ll see… It seemed like they give you more options in templates and what not. They might be too much for me to play with, but I’m excited.
Off to Laura’s art opening!
Hello there!
It has been crazy few weeks. I know everyone is busy, and I’m not trying to sound all whiney, but I guess I have to say it more than once this time around. But I’m not stressed out. I’m just overextended, I guess, but the Crafternoon definitely keeps me really excited! Oh, I have to tell you that now I can accept credit cards! All 4 of them – visa, mastercard, amex and discover, and I’m super excited about that… I can finally look more professional than before. It was about time, I know.
This morning it was a bit cooler than last week, and I was thinking about how chilly it would be in my home town by now. They might have had some frosts, and super vivid (natural) colors everywhere, in mountains, by the lake and even in town. Thank god for the busy-ness I’m in right now, otherwise I’d be missing home too much. But I’m glad that there’s autumn in this part of US, so that I can feel the seasons changing. It might be weird for me to be in the place where there’s not clear 4 seasons…
My fingers have been super busy even though I had thought I was going to take it easy, but I think there will be lots of new designs that I can bring to the Crafternoon. Please come check my booth out at Spectacular Crafternoon if you have a chance!
Have a sweet week!
Last night I had a crazy photo urge, so I just snapped away some of my pieces. Some are new, some are not… I just hope that I can keep myself concentrated, creative and productive. There are so many things need to be done… I need another body so this one can have time to chill out spiritually. Need to breathe.
It was such a gorgeous fall day here in Winston.
A day like this makes me feel very grateful and happy and all the positive things, and I always promise myself that I will never forget that feeling and keep it fresh inside so that I can send out good things to the world. I’m not talking about anything big; it’s rather small things. I know it can and will wear off as the time goes, but every time I forget it, something reminds me of those feelings and refreshes my mind. I just had that kind of day and I am very warm inside. I try my best to keep myself positive when I make my jewelry, and a day like this makes things so much easier.
One of my friends from Japan sent me a very sweet email and that made my day, too. I bet they are having a pretty fall there…
and here are some more fall color images.
So I just realized it’s already October and I haven’t updated this for a while. Good news is that the flyers and posters for Crafternoon are ready! I hope I can post these everywhere over the weekend.
I have purchased a few sets of stationery and cards, and naturally I’m in the letter-writing-mode. I wrote my grandparents a few weeks back, and my mom told me that they had received it and were very happy to read it. That made my day. Something about writing letters makes me feel warm and happy during the whole process. Ah. I gotta write more letters to my friends that I have not talked to for 7+ years. I bet that would surprise them. I just hope that those letters will find their recipients after all these years…
Here are some images that I shot lately.
Have yourself a wonderful day!
