has been my tradition of doing business. Just a sudden thought that all
these years I have written over 15000 "Thank you" notes on my business
cards. I am like "WoW" for a few mins here for that r<span class="text_exposed_show">eality to sink in.<br /> <br />
Because of that, I have to say it here out loud. Thank you for all of
your support. Thank you for loving to make stuffed toys for your friends
and families. Thank you for loving to do it for charity, the children
in the hospital, the foster kids, the kids in need of some love. Thank
you for making lovely toys for the public. Thank you for all the love
you put into each stuffed animal. Thank you for the love of handmade
toys. <br /> <br /> So all of you, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! </span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that many of my customers are forced to use Paypal in the past to get pass the credit card issue. Now you can purchase from my store and check out directly by using credit cards. I hope this will ease the checkout process! </span><br />

Here I have the picture regarding the 1st step how to use credit card as a payment without a Paypal account.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zweyxx9sBW0/TxNAnTYOuYI/AAAAAAAAE4M/ynCEM79129A/s1600/checkout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zweyxx9sBW0/TxNAnTYOuYI/AAAAAAAAE4M/ynCEM79129A/s400/checkout.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you have to do is go through Etsy's checkout process, it will go to this picture screen. As you can see "Choose a way to pay" will automatically key in your email address. Below that you can see "<b><span style="color: red;">Don't have a Paypal account?</span></b>". You can click on that, and start to pay by credit card process. The whole transaction is using Paypal as a platform to pay by using your credit card, you have to key in your address and credit card information. Remember to key in your shipping address carefully because sellers are mostly using that to ship your package to you. </div>

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Good Luck and have fun shopping!</span></b></div>

The other day it was extremely cold, and there were only a few snowflakes. My kids were so happy to go out and played those big snowflakes, although there weren't much. My hubby came home from work, happily to go out with them, pulled out a hat that only cover 2/3 of this head, and went out with them. <br />
<br />
20 mins later, they all came back, the kids were fine, they dressed well and the water only got them on the jacket. However, my hubby's hair and beard all filled with tiny snowflakes, all wet. I could tell he needed a big hat to cover his ears, beard, at least most of it anyway.<br />
<br />
I searched many patterns, I couldn't find one that is big enough. They all catered to head size 20". It's not my hubby is fat and big, it's because he has a big head, especially long forehead. My friend Gail surprised me with some patterns, but they were not deep enough. With the limited yarn choice I have in stash, finally I found this pattern from <a href="http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/09/suzies-beanie-for-men-and-women-c.html">Suzie</a>. I used a size hook "J", pulled out the dark gray yarn I have, and crochet his big hat.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/09/suzies-beanie-for-men-and-women-c.html">Suzie's pattern</a> is designed as beanie hat, but my hubby insisted he needed the edge long enough to fold, so here it is, I finished the whole ball of yarn, 30 rows. WOW!! I never crochet a hat that big!<br />
So now he is happy and I am happy! xoxo<br />

However, my swap partner just didn't send out a package for me, so the mod in that group arranged an angel to send me a package. I got the package on last Monday. Everything is so nice, especially the Green Monster. We totally love it. We, yes, we, my whole family just adored him. We display him in the middle of our Christmas tree and he fits right in. :)<br />

I thought with a month and a half of time I could finish everything by no time. Oh boy am I wrong! Luckily finally I finished something I am happy with. =) It's Halloween time, so I decided to crochet some zombie dolls.<br />
These dolls base patterns:<br />
<br />
The zombie with a hat: "<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59191341/loveable-libby-fairy-crochet-pattern">Loveable Libby Fairy</a>", I followed the head and body.<br />
The little guy I follow the pattern "Nosferatu" in the book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Christen-Haden/dp/1594742324/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318179281&sr=8-1">Creepy cute crochet</a>"<br />
<br />
Eyes: a pair of 7.5mm clear eyes, one 10.5mm zombie eyes and one 7.5mm albino eyes<br />
Yarns: Caron Simply Soft<br />

My hubby said it's gross, but it's a ZOMBIE, it supposed to be gross, right? Those yarns are the left over or swap from the other lovely ladies. I love how they turned out. It's scary but cute at the same time. Now if you have purchase one of those sample pack from me and scare of that pair of abino eye, don't know what to do with it, you have no excuse anymore!! Crochet or knit something for fun. =P You won't be disappointed with zombie or albino eyes!!!6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-26051997709066393242011-08-18T17:08:00.001-04:002011-08-18T17:08:40.985-04:00Name changed in Artfire.com<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Announcement: My shop name in Artfire.com is changed from 6060 to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6060eyes</span>. So the full link is: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://6060eyes.artfire.com/">6060eyes.Artfire.com</a></span></span></b><br />
<br />
The reason for that is Artfire.com has upgraded its system couple weeks ago, however, the new system is not compatible with only numeric name, it has to be with letters or all letters. I am frustrated I wasn't informed earlier but happy that now it's over, and the changed is over.<br />
<br />
So my selling venues are here:<br />
<br />

My hubby, he is a loyal fan of sugar corn candy, he can eat a whole bag of those without blinking his eyes. In the past I never really like corn candy because it's too sweet for my tooth, but after I met him and saw that he could put this thing in his mouth non-stop while working, watching tv, and even doing yard work, I started to look at this candy a different way. This candy is a symbol of the sweetness you can get from Fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween. The color is cheerful and it's always bring you back the memories of the happiness to have a big feast, party and having the lovely people around you in that season. Now while I am typing this, just thinking about it makes me want to have one. Since they are not in the supermarket yet, meanwhile I think I can just look at this amigurumi sugar corn and wait patiently until the fall arrives. =)<br />

I knew I did. :) We went to see fireworks in a rainy and lightning night. It was pretty to see both fireworks and lightning at the same time. How about you?<br />
<br />
In the past weekend I spent most of the time doing cleaning, cooking, and cleaning! LOL well.. not quite that bad, I spent some time to design and paint plastic eyes too. Here are what I have painted. What do you think?<br />

Usually the eyes I carry in my store you can install it to your critter/stuffed toys with your bare hands, however, I understand not everyone has the same strenght to push the washers when the eyes are small to handle. So here are couple suggestions that hopefully make your life easier. :) <br />
<br />
1. If you have this interchangeable screw driver set in your house, there is always a handle with a hole, use that to help pushing the washer towards the eye. It's easier on your hand and you can grab the handle and use a little force and the washer should be right in. <br />
<br />
2. If the washers are too hard, you don't have the right tool with you, you can soak the plastic washers into a bowl of really hot water for a few minutes. The hard plastic will turn softer and you can dry it and at once push it towards the eyes. <br />
<br />
If you have more suggestions, you are always welcome to comment. :)6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-30846826712098482422011-06-12T20:09:00.000-04:002011-06-12T20:09:54.000-04:00Crochet Coral Reef in DCIn Feb 2011, my friend Agnes went down here from NJ to visit her friend in VA. We were both interested in crochet and related items. I live in MD, from here to DC is like an hour. We have been chatting on the phone for a long time, like a pen pal but instead we chat by phone. We both too lazy to write I guess! :) One day I told her about the crochet exhibit in DC and we decided to visit the <a href="http://crochetcoralreef.org/exhibitions/smithsonian.php">crochet coral reef exhibit in Natural Museum</a> together. That day it's very crowd although the weather was very cold. It's hard to find a parking space. My hubby convinced me to take a train instead of driving. I was hesitated but was glad to listen to him, there was no way we could find a parking without fighting with the rest of the people!! :P Finally Agnes and I got to see each other, including our kids and families. It's an adventure in both "crochet" and "personal relationship" kind of way. We stayed in the museum for a few hours, the kids were tired, but luckily both of our hubbies kept the kids occupied while Agnes and I were able to look at the crochet project quietly!<br />
<br />
The moment I saw the crochet I was speechless except many sounds of "wow". It was like stitches everywhere, the stitches were just single crochet, double crochet stitches, nothing complicated. However, all these different shapes, colors, designs, and materials together sure were very complicated. There was a lady at the side explaining the materials they were using, including wool, cotton, plastic bag, and even VCR tapes. I was amazed by all these hard works, talents, and hooks behind of the whole project. If you are a crochet lover, don't miss the next exhibit in CA from June 6. . <a href="http://crochetcoralreef.org/exhibitions/upcoming.php">Information is here</a>.<br />

The pattern is from <a href="http://pepika.com/">Pepika.com</a>. She provided a bunch of cute free patterns. This pattern is called " <a href="http://www.pepika.com/free-patterns/crochet-heart.html">Crochet 3D Heart</a> ". The yarn I used is called " Caron Simply Soft Brites Yarn ". This particular yarn is very soft, so when I put the stuffing into the hearts, I have to put a lot in order to keep the heart shape. Other than that, the yarn is pretty good for crocheting, it doesn't split much, and the colors are just as beautiful as it can be. If you are a crochet beginner, this is definitely a very nice and easy project for you, try it, you won't regret! :)<br />

She was really nice to do it. She even signed the books for me. This book was about all the animals in the carousel and how the kids discovered all these animals from their research. From the book, the kids knew about the fact and nature of the animals like gorillas, zebras, panda etc. This book was published by Houston Zoo and it's full of colorful pictures. I just read it to my kids, they love it ,especially my 5 year old, she's a fan of zebra since 1 year old.<br />

Nowadays, so many animals are in danger and it's really nice that we, human, still cares about them and make sure that they will be here with us for a long long time.<br />

Yesterday I spent the whole evening to update this blog look. Since I am not a tech person, doing this is a brand new adventure to me. Luckily I have <a href="http://www.artisteer.com/?p=home">this</a> program to help me. I learnt this program from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BeneathTheRowanTree">Linda</a>, an etsian. I was skeptical at first, didn't know where to start. However, this program gave it all. It's easy to use, and I didn't even read the instructions before I started. To me, mother of two little kids, reading instructions quietly is impossible. I was glad I kinda finished everything by midnight. Yes, in between of course I got to cook and took care of the kids, but afterall, I was happy to learn a new program that would enhance the professional looking of my blog. This satisfied customer gave <a href="http://www.artisteer.com/?p=home">this</a> program a thumbs up.6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-16198704283500280632011-05-21T14:33:00.005-04:002011-05-25T22:31:48.848-04:00Birthday Present from Agnes<p><center><br />

I have been trying to lose weight for the last few weeks and this time is for real. </p><er/> <p>Today morning I stepped on the scale and I lost 10 lbs, my heart and mouth said "yoohoo" at the same time. I haven't been able to lose weight since I gave birth to my second child. I tried to lose weight, but with the stress and busy life, I gave up totally. 3 weeks ago I went to my personal doctor because of the headache I have been having for last 2 years, and my blood pressure was all time high, she ordered me to on diet and lose weight and took the high blood pressure medicine all at once. I was like "uh ho". </p><er/> <p>In the last 2 weeks, I was trying to take it easy in everything, especially eating, stop myself eating junk food whenever I feel very stressful. It helped a lot. I was hungry at first, then I just trying to drink more tea, or at lunch and dinner I would try to eat more rice and less meat. Finally it did work, and I was so glad.</p><er/> <p>Now talking about the thermos, in the past I drank 3 cups of coffee each day to keep me running, now I only have a cup, so that cup has to be lasting for a while. By putting my cup of coffee in a thermos cup, I was able to drink it in 2 hours, instead of finishing 1 cup in 15 mins and then went ahead and get a 2nd cup, I have this 1 cup of coffee for 2 hours. It totally helped me to lose weigh, cut down the sugar and milk.</p><er/> <p>Agnes, a true sweet heart, she heard me that I needed a thermo cup, she bought me another one for my birthday present, and now I can do the exact same thing when I am driving. Indeed, she has been a very lovely friend to have. Thank you Agnes!!

The blackground stitches are white in color, so it didn't affect the translucent blue eyes one bit. </p><p>Sometimes when we chose safety eyes for a critter, you don't really need to think what size of eye fits what size of a critter. I suggest to get different sizes of eyes. A new amigurumi crocheter I suggested to use from 9mm to 18mm, black eyes first, then once you get a hold of it, then you can focus with trying different colors. </p><p>I know sometimes you will afraid like "Geez.. What am I going to do with neon yellow, neon green? " . Tell you the truth, there is no boundaries with the choices. I always use colors that always clash to each other. For example, orange with green yarns, yellow with bright blue, or even pink with black or brown. Since critters are naturally cute, there is no wrong by using different colors together.</p><p>So I say " Build up your confidence and try the bright color yarns, eyes and noses " </p><p>*Pattern from the Itsy Bitsy Spider by Karla*</p>6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-42677179425014941812011-05-17T23:04:00.001-04:002011-05-17T23:04:22.493-04:005 1/2 hours throw<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/4994193467/" title="5 1/2 hours throw"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/4994193467_6c44edf04c.jpg" alt="5 1/2 hours throw by 6060eyes" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/4994193467/">5 1/2 hours throw</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/">6060eyes</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>This pattern is from Lion Brand website. A year ago when I first purchased this brown sofa, I thought I got to have something with lighter color. So I thought having a throw was just right. I was very happy it turned out ok, it's very comfy and warm. In winter time it's a must have! I crocheted it more than 5 1/2 hours of course, but it's worth it! :)</p>6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-50042500458466322372011-05-17T10:21:00.003-04:002011-07-23T23:40:46.995-04:00Angry Birds Crochet Patterns<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37539972@N06/5470665963/" title="Angry Birds Crochet Patterns"><img alt="Angry Birds Crochet Patterns by The Itsy Bitsy Spider" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5470665963_47a8d2f88f.jpg" /></a><br />

My local Walmart cut the craft apartment so bad it only a few things there. Joann has moved away further, like an half hour drive, it's not easy to buy yarns like before. <br />
<br />
Anyway, once I finish the red one and the yellow one, I will repost it again! :) <br />
<br />
Have a great Tuesday everyone! =D<br />

However, in the winter time if you want to bundle up with lots of fabric to keep you warm, this yarn and this cowl will keep you super warm. I wear it for a few minute in the house and I already feeling too hot. <br /><br />This is also a super quick project. I used about 2 hours to make this, it's very easy to make and you will definitely enjoy it when the weather get cold. <br /><br /><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />Pattern is from <a href="http://simplebeans.blogspot.com/2009/02/crochet-cowl-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">simplebeans.blogspot.com/2009/02/crochet-cowl-pattern.html</a></p>6060http://www.blogger.com/profile/09318220068983911992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824205740571785109.post-53990640059307011152011-05-17T09:51:00.002-04:002011-05-17T09:58:23.594-04:00Blooming Sun Hat<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/5018564799/" title="Blooming Sun Hat"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5018564799_83ca042e5e.jpg" alt="Blooming Sun Hat by 6060eyes" /></a>
<span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/5018564799/">Blooming Sun Hat</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/6060shop/">6060eyes</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>I crocheted this sun hat in the summer time.
I really like the pattern and shape. The flower design on the top is excellent.
To me, this design is a bit of the small size, my 7 year old daughter wears it just a little bit too big, but for me, it's a little bit too small.
After all, it only takes 2 to 3 hours to finish, it's a super quick project if you want to crochet something other than just scarf. It will give you a great satisfaction.

It's very easy to crochet and it looks so good. I only made 1 to though, got to do this more often.
