4 peonies

It's been a while, and thank you to the few of you who have left me lovely birthday messages in my last blog post :) I truly appreciate the warm support and messages. In just a few days time, it will be Christmas. Although I long to make some christmas items and have a few in mind, but I don't think I will craft them in time for Christmas. But that's ok. I know in some places, there are christmas shops opened for 365 days a year.

Crafting is still a challenge for me these days, because I don't have the luxury to sit down for more than half an hour. So, when I was able to find some energy the other night, I made these 4 peonies.

This sounds crazy, but I was proud at my own little accomplishment. I will be using them for a rainbow cake.

There will be a couple of new molds in the coming weeks, so I'll be sure to blog about it when I have some samples.

I hope everyone of you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

A quiet birthday

Sorry I've been out of the loop again! I meant to write a thanksgiving blog post, but time just flew by.

Thank you for your support, if you've been shopping over at my shop during the sale period. I am especially grateful for all the sale that came in.

I just celebrated my birthday last week, and it was a quiet affair. I was especially thankful that my friend from Seattle stayed to spend the day with me and Mom. I cooked, but also bought some food.

My mom has a habit of giving me a red packet each year. I keep almost all the red packets. This year, I noticed that my mom has more difficulty with her writing.  Because I keep all the red packets, I could tell the difference from year to year.

Still, despite her difficult condition, she writes. I cherish all the red packets and her handwriting.

Today, I'm teaching a class. I'll go prepare now!
