These days I haven't been posting anything in my blog, flickr, or other places online. I think after 2 years of doing that, I felt a little tired of it. The other word, I am getting old! haha

This half year we have going through serious events one after the other, like add-on to the house (yeah, we finally did it), buying furniture and waiting 4 months of them, still don't have the dining room table. My daughter suddenly have to have dental treatments on her teeth, 2nd daughter having breathing problem, etc etc... It's very exhausted to run an online store, but even more exhausted to be a mother. I don't remember my mom used to be this way, but I guess she did and I just wasn't realized how big of a job she has done in the past! Mom I love you!

Last 2 weekends I have to finish a pincushion swap, I wanted to do something special for my swap partner. So I did these glittering eyes. I will post the pincushion swap in next blog! I promise I will do that! lol ! At first I didn't have high hope in it because I never use this kind of paint before, turn out that I just have to be patient and did couple coats, turned out it's just beautiful, don't you think? I decided I will make more and put it in my etsy shop. For now, these are going to someone special! :)

I got inspired in doctor office when I was waiting for my girl to have well-check up! Yes, you didn't read wrong, it's in doctor office, they have so many children books, body pictures and many other things that inspired me to create my hand-painted eyes. This time I have frog/toad eyes, they are 21mm wide!! I also have 24mm pearl yellow and pearl orange eyes. Last one is the 18mm Spin eyes. You know what I was thinking when I was painting these? I was thinking my fan. I can't wait for the summer time to come! It's wet and yucky these days. My hubby looked at these eyes and he spin them in front of me, he was pretending magician to hypnotize me!! It's fun! =)

Oh Boy am I crazy recently? I have been experimenting different colors on hand painted eyes! I love pearl eyes, but plain pearl eyes now just isn't enough!

Old story: When I was in high school, at the time I need to choose what to study! It was many years ago. I like drawing, designs, I have been studying that in school for a few years, it's time to choose a main subject for the future, I wanted to follow my heart to get a diploma in design. However, I couldn't do that, my father told me the reality, the real world about designs, he told me nobody could make a living just doing design, not until a person is totally famous and a person totally famous may be happen 1 every 1000 of people. Result I took different course and listened to my father.

New Story: Since I have worked all these years, never touch my drawing since graduated of high school, then all the sudden, selling eyes in etsy, and all the sudden I started to paint these little eyes! Life is like a circle. Once I start to paint again, I can't stop, I ask myself to do a little more each time and I am loving it!

After these story, aren't we bored yet? So I am showing you these pictures of my newly creations! =) Drumroll please!!!

My new serious "FROSTY MARBLE", these I have to do it in 2 different days because of so many layers I have to paint to create frosty and marble effects, they shimmer too, it's really beautiful!

This week I hand painted some Kawaii Eyes for me and you! =) I love amigurumi, of course I have to save some for myself! Have you watched all these Japanese Kawaii cartoons? I know I have! I am always amazed of how those cartoon producers can draw these little cute critters, especially the eyes, just a few dots more in the pupils and it show the critter emotions by no time! I love those critters, and mostly cartoons! LOL I am inspired by those cartoons and created these adorable cute eyes. These are 12mm eyes, I have used pearl green, pearl white and pearl pink colors on these eyes! I hope you like it! Check out my etsy store: 6060.etsy.com

A few days ago I saw a pattern from Lion Brand website. I was really interested in it. My daughter Katie did too, so picked up my crochet hook again to crochet another amigurumi! I can't help it, it's too much fun! I have tons of Caron Simply Soft Brites yarns, I picked up black and mango (like orange) and started my new project. It didn't take long for me to crochet all the parts but it took me forever to sew them up. This is the worst part of amis. I just don't like sewing much! :P Details: Crochet hook: F/4mm Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Brites Eyes: 9mm hand-painted eyes (hot pink color) Nose: 10mm oval eye Pattern: Click here please

This morning I really got into mood in painting something! Good thing is I don't have my kids around me, they are all sleeping! Yeah! This early morning was gray, cold, and very unhappy kind of feelings! However, because I was in mood, I decided to paint my eyes a little special. I have these transparent red eyes and I knew that they are kind of scary looking, so I am thinking to paint them into lovely looking instead. After all, they are not very scary, but definitely beautiful! I love the pearl effect in this eyes. Am I like a crow only like shiny and shimmering things? :P Anyway, here they are. You can find them @ 6060.etsy.com ! *** they can be used in any soft toys project like monsters, zombie rabbit, zombie bear, teddy bears, or even reptile! :D ***
