Currently sold out & Craft fair

My two necklaces, Paris, je t'aime and Allons en France are currently sold out in my shop. I have already ordered some supplies and hopefully they will be in stock again sometimes next week. These two necklaces are the bestseller necklaces up to date. They even got featured on Etsy's front page. They make me proud. They are just like my babies :)

Just a quick note that I will be doing a very tiny craft fair on Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 at OCAD in downtown Toronto. It will be my first craft fair ever! I'm looking forward to it. I will post more information about the craft fair later this week in my blog. Please stay tuned :)

Finally there's some sunshine in Toronto. It's been raining cats and dogs for the past week. My puppy got scared when she heard thunder sounds. She would quickly come sit next to me. I found it very cute!!

DIY cushion covers

My old cushion cover I bought from Ikea a few years ago was ready to go. The zipper was broken and it was beyond fixable since the cover itself was falling apart (my dog loves to tear it up).

I happened to find some lovely fabrics at Fabricland. I love bright colors as well as sweet pastels. I was so happy to find these 2 fabric patterns from Liz Claiborne and on SALE :)



It took me almost a week to finish sewing one cushion cover (by hand). I don't have a sewing machine, but would LOVE to have one in the future. Let's hope that my dog wouldn't start tearing this one up again.

Today's lunch

I made yakisoba (stir fried noodle) for lunch. Yum Yum. It is one of my favorite dishes. Seems like someone wanted to have it too!

Squidward

Somebody in my house just had a birthday! That's right, it's my lovely pet puppy . So, we got her a brand new toy. We named him "Squidward" as in Spongbob! My puppy got really excited when she saw the new toy. She went all crazy when I squeezed Squidward's head and it made squeaky noises.

I have been procrastinating about updating the blog lately. I've been super busy busy busy (excuses). By the way, I made the order for my jewelry boxes last week and I just got them today. They're so tiny, cute, and recyclable. I will come up with the design for my packaging and post them here later. Please stay tune for that.

Good night for now.

An ordinary day in the snow

It is just an ordinary day here in Toronto. It snows again these days and I kinda like it. Actually, my pet pup also loves playing in the snow.

Before I take my pup for a walk, I have to bundle her up which she hates so much. I put her on a red sweater, shoes (made from balloons) and her harness. Whenever she sees the red sweater, she would hide under the coffee table or run away. I think it's adorable.

She loves jumping up and down in the snow. We also play hide and seek! Mostly she loves playing with one of my mittens. She wouldn't let it go even when we got back from the walk!!! This is one of my favorite times of the day!

One lazy pet pup

Look how lazy my pet pup is. She is always sitting on my couch and she is too lazy that she needs a pillow to support her cute little face. This is my lovely puppy, she is a co-founder of Cocoa Chu Chu and also a spoke person (I mean bark person). She is very spoiled because I spoiled her :-)
