Just came back from the post office with 2 envelope-full of Fifi super goodies! Handmade sling bags constructed using kitchen linen, with these incredible rooster prints:) Reminds me of childhood spent roaming around my grandmother's kitchen filled with vases printed with quirky animals and colored glasses with flower power patterns.

:)

Yip yip! Just completed a small collection of new works. Am slowly adjusting my working attitude to creating as slowly as possible. As much as I would love to cut, sew and complete new goods everyday and keep the store filled with new works every week, I realize it only made some of my past works seemed like rushed-work.

Big lesson learned: Never let it become 'work'. Never let the art-making experience become another deadline to complete as soon as possible. As for the past works that looked like rush work? Well, they are in the process of being recycled and remade into something...super:P Now, time to slow down and concentrate on a couple of nice Christmas orders, followed by a two week holiday/ hibernation after the big roast chicken and cranberry sauce dinner. Woohoohoohoo!

Time to eat some Gingerbreadman
