Bootylicious Snowman

It's been 9 days already and we still have tons of snow everywhere. It hasn't snowed this much since 1968, looks like we're gonna beat a record this year since we're gonna have another snow storm tomorrow. Well, we just keeping busy and try not to get cabin fever by staying outside the house and enjoy this cold weather. We just build a snowman this morning and thought it's a good idea to give him some booty. Kaya didn't think it was a good idea at first but later he was into it. :P I also made him a friend, snow bunny, next to him. Hopefully the bunny wouldn't get too hungry and eat his nose ;)

Baby Gwendolyn

My half brother,Shane, and his wife, Heather, just had a baby girl last month in Germany. Her name is Gwendolyn. Kaya is so excited to have a new cousin, he made her a birdie doll and drew on a baby onesie. I embroidered her a cute elephant with a heart. I'm sending them all out today. Can't wait to her pictures :)

Wonderland in P-town

Wowee, what a week! It's been snowing off and on since last Sunday. It's so not like P-town I used to know... Is it global warming? Anyway, there's about a foot of snow out side with an inch thick of ice on top, very crunchy when you walked on top. Kaya had fun stepping on it and yeah me too. though coming back in the house to see the wallpaper on my laptop, i just wanted to go back to a nice sunny beach in PV again....

New order for the holidays!

A girl I did cards for 2 years ago just contacted me back wanting to order new set of cards. She wanted something for the holidays with her cute dog Riley. And here what it looks like. I hope Kinko's would open tomorrow, since it's been snowing all day today. I need to finish the cards by Monday...

Let it snow....

It snowed so early this year, which was rare for p-town. It just happened to come down on the biggest craft show I had ever this year, so not many people showed up for the event. I was so disappointed (so as many other vendors), but I still have one more chance this coming Saturday. Anyway, while I was at the craft show, Kaya and his dad went boarding with the neighbosr at sellwood park. It's the first time for Kaya to be on the board and he did amazingly well. We're planning to go to Mt. Hood this winter for sure. Can't wait to see him riding again!

Puerto Vallarta

what a great time we had. we went into a jungle, swam in a river pool, watched sea turtle laying eggs, camped on the beach, climbed coconut tree, walked in a pilgrim parade with the locals, took a boat ride to watch whales and sunset, ate the best gourmet food and street food in town and i can't thanks my beautiful cousin enough for everything. kaya had to write journal for his class, and it's probably the best journal a 6-year-old could have. we're just lucky to have my cousin there who is really well known and has the best people connection of them all. (it's awesome to see both poor and rich world)

Turkey Fever

Looked like Kaya had a blast on Thanksgiving at his grandpa's in the morning and Mae Elle's in the evening, he still had a turkey spirit left. He (accidentally) made a turkey pancake this morning. He said he would keep it forever... (yeah) Let's see about that!

Holiday Craft Show

It's that busy time of year again. I've been busy creating posters, postcards and ads for many shows and this is the most recent one I did for urbana. It's always a great show for me.... especially at the end when everyone trades their goods. Can't wait 'til Dec. 20th and wish me luck!

Holiday Greetings!

Aren't these guys cute?

My new creation!!!

I bought gocco print a couple years ago from a thrift store and never got a chance to use it. I didn't even think it worked since it's only $2.99. Though it looked pretty new, so last night I opened the box and started messing with it and ta da!!! It worked awesome! I was soooo excited with my new screen print cards. I still need to learn more about it and will show you what I will come up next! click here :)

My First Art & Craft Show Ever!!!

PDX Street Team just got together on sunday to sell arts and crafts! It was my first show ever and I had to say that it was a success. We will probably continue this every year from now on, this year was just an experiment to see how we did. Well, there were lots of traffic in this little pizza place. even though it was very wet and cold, people were still out to buy and look at our stuff. ETSY ROCKS!!!

I'm also going to the other show next month! This one will be bigger than our Etsy group, so I don't want to expect anything much yet. At least I will have fun :)
