Look at this poster I’m using for tomorrow’s pop up event! If it looks homemade, well, it is…(⁀ᗢ⁀)

I can’t afford some fancy colorful board, so I just printed some color images, cut and paste onto a black foam board I found in my crafts corner. I love everything about it. I hope it will attract more people to stop by!

I’m so thrilled how these turned out. Like I said, I bought these new molds last year and waited the entire year to finally used it. My oven isn’t working, so I was nervous using the Baking Mode from my air fryer. I baked 6 at a time. The first batch turned out darker so I adjust the temperature, time and rack placement. The 2nd batch turned out perfect! (^‿^)

I’ve been making these boxes to hold these (100g) mooncakes. They also turned out super cute!

September is all about self-care – yoga and meditation for me! That’s the theme for this month. I am not a big fan of drawing humans, especially body shapes and facial expressions. I thought I would struggle with it. Luckily I found some simple forms to copy. After all, we want to simplify things in life, right?

Right before we left, we went back to his dorm. I noticed these envelopes I gave him were stuffed in the desk drawer which I had the feeling he’s never going to open/read it. I took the liberty to tape them on the wall so he’ll see them. This turns out nicely, adding some colors to boring white wall.

I made these for my niece when she went off to college a few years ago. She totally loved it and thought I should do the same for Dai Bee. Most of the same stuff and I added a few.

Getting ready for the big day tomorrow. Glad my MIL was able to help me with this lei as I’ve gotten so much going on these days (work, graduation events, sports and planning for a trip).

Great thing was I had everything to make this so I didn’t have to buy any. It turned out beautifully!

So happy to have this ready for the month of June. I was so anxious to use it I started filling info in before taking snapshots of the spread. This month’s theme is camping. Even though I’m not sure if we will do a camping trip this year, I’m still content I get to experience it this way!

After much thought, packaging is very important. With the cake rolls, I don’t want to hand them out in plastic bag, or without a bag. Since I want cut the costs, I will have to make the bags myself. \( ̄▽ ̄)/

My BIL gave me rolls and rolls of the large sheets of papers, so much I can build a house with it! So I recycled them and folded these bags (that fit the size of the one or two cake rolls). Right now I’m drawing these manually, but I’m hoping to find stickers big enough for the bags! These do look cute…

Happy March – yes, it’s already March 2021! Here are my monthly spreads for this month. Love how colorful it is and feel like spring is around the corner!

These are my felted red envelopes to go with the year of the Ox. Took months to make as I added more and more details each year. This is my 5th year felting red envelopes, 7 more to go. Here are the ones from last year.

Here’s one with my hand model < by KB

Since we are not gathering for our usual CNY dinners, we try to find a way to get the kiddos their red envelopes. I made these gigantic red envelopes to collect the ones from all the aunts and uncles. Or it’s just another excuse for me to do some crafting.
