Cloudy Days

Wow, my last post was almost exactly 1 year ago! Well I'm back!~

I've been feeling really inspired this past week but sadly I haven't been able to find enough time to get working! The past few months school, work, and church activities have completely consumed all of my time and energy. And to add to that I've been sick for about a month! Anyways, since I don't have much time (even though it's a holiday), here's a quick update post to let ya'll know what I've been up to!

First off! Since my last post, I've somewhat been shifting gears at my shop (that's closed, for now)... I've been slowly moving away from the paperclip rings to plushy-type items, mainly mini plush key chains. Why? Making paperclip rings cause my fingers to get painful blisters... I know, sadness!~... But! Plushies are so much fun to make! They are more time consuming but the creation process is much more enjoyable than making the same thing over and over and over again. So here are a couple picture from my more recent plushy creations:

These two twin clouds were made for my Green Peas Creations partner, Sora

And these are from our summer sale with Little Seed

Secondly, I just wanted to share some of my cousin's work! Yesterday, I reunited with my cousin, Esther, whom I haven't seen in several years (I think)... but anyways, I found out that she was an illustrator! And a really talented one at that! This is painting is one of my favs...

Check out her other work at her website: www.estherlovesyou.com

Thirdly, mark you calendars! Green Peas Creations & Little Seed will be joining forces again for our Holiday Sale at the Koreatown Galleria on Saturday, December 11th! More details to come!

Sadly, I've got to get back to work now... Hopefully if I finish up quickly, I'll be able to make something before I head out to Christmas Musical practice tonight!

Christmas Time!~

Hello,

So almost immediately after my last post... I got back into the creative crafty spirit! :D and I went on to restock and add new color combos to my line of button hair clips (as shown above)... Just yesterday I finished restocking on my fabric pouches and now I have to get back to making more paperclip rings and possibly some Christmas tree ornaments (?)... So if you are wondering why I'm restocking...

I have an announcement! The Green Peas (well Sora & I) have been invited to join Little Seed (http://littleseed.net) at the upcoming Holiday Floor Sales at the Koreatown Galleria!

My First Sale!

My dear friend, Sarah of Little Seed, invited me to join her at the Koreatown Galleria Floorsale on August 29th. I didn't really know what to expect so I just prepared a variety of 'products' to sell. Not really expecting much, I went on to join and sell my handmade goodies...

The day of the sale was quite... interesting... Sora came over to my house that morning to drive out to LA together. One the way there, I got lost... I don't know how in the world I got lost going to Koreatown (since I've personally driven there, on my own,at LEAST 50 times by now) but I got lost. Then, we got into a car accident and eventually we got to the Galleria an hour late. Sora and I shared a table and we sold our individual stuff as well as my mom's church small group's handmade sponges. We sold a lot more than we expected, met a lot of kids, ran into some old friends, and just had a good time. Originally we were only going to stay till 3pm but we ended up staying until 6:30pm because Jennifer was holding mini ceramics classes with some kids.


Suprisingly I SOLD OUT on my button hairclips! I was so excited :) I got a shot of one of a girl wearing my hairclips, playing by the water fountain :D

We were invited to come back for the floorsale in December! So for the last couple weeks I've been brainstorming new ideas for products. First! I'm trying to remake all of the hairclips I made before!
