Do you have the below materials and tools at home?

It is not that hard to gather them in a crafty home!

I just love Mitsy from Artmind fun tutorial! Check it out at Poppy Talk.

These cute waxy hearts could be your home new deco / wedding favor / little gifts / etc.

Be creative!

Be Grateful...

I have to say it was the toughest market for me as I was sick. My throat was so sore but I still kept on telling people about my handmade life, my jewelry and my book. I am surprised that there were some male visitors bought my creations. Perhaps, it is for his loved one during St. Valentine's Day!? I have asked if it was alright to put a handmade heart-shape tag on the gift wrap. He replied me with a shy smile. Ha ha how sweet was that.

I am grateful that I have found my passion.

To answer my lovely customers questions:

1) I do customer orders for brides for jewelry and head pieces. You are welcome to contact me at my fan page or send a note to love.Jujube[a]gmail.com for references.

2) Yes, my nail color is from OPI, Done out in Deco. :P

A little complain...

Yet, I came across ladies who asked me suspicious questions and taking close up photos of my creations. I am a bit annoyed about it since there were people imitating my designs and sold online with a relatively cheap price at Yahoo auction...

I am so frustrated about it the other day. I comforted myself that as my designs are so great to attract "admirers". However, my heart hurts while seeing people using copper wire "pretends" silver / gold filled wire. What I can say?

Promo Packs for Handmade Mart

I have made this promo pack for the coming craft fair, Handmade Mart. I thought it will be fun to receive a little gift rather than a leaflet. And my friends are impressed.

Inside the pack are
manila tags, stickers which are hand stamped and made with re-purposed paper, ju ju be business card and of course the leaflet.

I will be a Culture Club, Soho Feb 6 (Sat), 2pm - 6pm. I was told the venue is easy to be by-passed. So make sure you read the map at my facebook.

P.S. For those lovely brides-to-be who would like to have a headpiece custom orders, you are welcome to step by. Just ask at the booth :)

Cloudy Sunday!

It is a cloudy Sunday. As usual, I woke up way too late... (too shame to name the time), had an afternoon tea with C, walked around at the neighborhood, stopped by the florist, had a iced Mocha at Starbucks, read some magazines and headed back home.

And noticed I gained a pound... (shit!) Let's blame the cloudy and humid weather.

Some readings I would like to share

Hello I am back. I am so tired after the craft show on Sunday yet filled with joy :)

It felt good to gather with other handmade artists to share our thoughts, opinion and some fun things.

I regreted that we were so busy chatting and did not take a photo together.

We may have different style but we all handmade with love :)
