Slight delay in shipping orders.

Hey everyone. There's going to be a slight delay in shipping out orders. I was suppose to go to the post office today, but we have a really big snow storm this morning. So if the weather calms down a bit in the afternoon then I may be able to get out to the post office, but if not, then I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. Sorry about that. I'll keep you all updated :) Thanks for your patience. I really appreciate it :)

Photo update.

Here are some of the photos that I meant to post up sooner. They are the toys from my most recent orders that I've shipped out. My other orders will be finished this week and hopefully shipped out this week :) I will keep you all updated. Thanks for being so patient :)

10 days left until I travel to South Korea for the christmas holidays and new years :) I hope everyone will have an amazing holiday :D Please remember that any new orders that I currently receive from today onwards, will most definitely ship out after I come back to Toronto. Thank you for understanding :)







All of the above toys are available in my shop with the exception of the needle felted ducks*, and the pink and blue small momo bear* (but if you'd like me to make one of those for you, please send me a message :) I may relist them again later on in the new year).
In order from top to bottom:
- Kai the owl
- Marching Polar Bear
- Small Momo Bear*
- Needle Felted Yellow Ducks* with Jiyong Mushroom Bear
- Mushroom bear Family

Thanks everyone for being SO patient with your orders. I really really appreciate it!

Hope you will all have a lovely weekend. I took many photos of the orders that I shipped out today (before I shipped them out of course). I will post them up here shortly (after I finish eating my lunch :D).

Side note--to the people who try to order from my shop without paying:
Under certain circumstances I can understand why someone might not pay for their order right away. Maybe you are new and need time to set up your PayPal account in order to transfer funds and purchase your item. But sometimes I come across a few people who order from my shop, and deliberately do not pay for their items. I can understand if you forgot. But if I email you back right after you have placed your order and still have not received any payment from your OR any REPLY from you to let me know that you need more time to pay (or that you really just don't plan on paying)... I'd appreciate it if you would LET ME KNOW. It's not that hard to reply back to a simple email is it? I don't like chasing these people down to try to get a reply back... I don't think that I should have to, and I don't like doing it either because then I feel like I'm coming across in a bad way. I'm not trying to be negative, but all I'm asking for is a simple reply -- 'sorry I forgot' or 'I will need a bit more time' or 'I've changed my mind and would like to cancel' -- it takes 2 minutes to reply back to my email. Yet when I see that you have not yet paid and I send you that email as a reminder, I don't get a reply back.

From now on what I'm going to do is this:
- I'll still send out the email if I notice that I have not received your payment yet. So I'll send it out as a reminder.
- If I do not hear back from you within 3 days, I'm going to cancel your order (so that I do not get charged the extra fees that incur when a transaction takes place

Lesson: Immediate payment is greatly appreciated! BUT if you need more time that is understandable, just PLEASE do let me know. Thank you!

Awaiting payment from:
✿ acciohecka - Order received on December 3, 2009 for 1 Kai Owl - PAYMENT NOT YET RECEIVED - email reminders have been sent... no reply yet. -- order has been canceled***
✿ simplefreak - Order received on December 5, 2009 for 1 marching polar bear - PAYMENT NOT YET RECEIVED payment received :) - email reminders have been sent... no reply yet.

Featured in Jenny's Holiday Picks.

A big shoutout goes to Jenny N. of JennyNDesign over on Etsy for featuring my winter mushroom bear, among other Christmas inspired goodies from numerous Etsy shops. I love her picks of Joy since Christmas has such a big joyful and fun-filled theme. I'm definitely looking forward to spending Christmas and New Years this year in another country and numerous cities (Seoul, Daegu, Busan, and back to Seoul). I'm sure that my friends and I will have a lot of fun getting to spend the holidays with each other :) Thanks again Jenny! Definitely stop by her shop and her blog for more goodies! She makes the most fantastic bags. I already own a pouch from her (which looks like her Travelers) and definitely want one of her shoulder bags!

A little bit of change.

I'm up early again. My current sleeping habits have adjusted to a different time zone (such as that in Korea lol), even though I am still in Toronto -- meaning I'm awake when I should be sleeping, and sleeping when I should be awake, haha. I guess I am more productive during the night time/early morning.

Tuesday was an extremely productive day for me. Usually I am only able to complete 1 order in 1 day. Sometimes it might take longer. But on Tuesday, I was able to finish 3 different orders (4 toys in total: 1 owl, 1 marching polar bear, and 2 custom small momo bears). I'm also half way finished the mushroom bears. I'm really proud of myself for being able to catch up on these orders fairly quickly after being held back a bit while finishing up and shipping out my wholesale orders 2 weeks ago.

I hope that this level of productivity will continue today, although I can already feel fatigue setting in. But it's okay because I am having fun with these orders and I find that they are turning out better and better and I'm getting faster at making each one. I really love the way that I currently make my owls and question myself as to why I hadn't thought of doing it that way a lot sooner. I think the finished result looks a whole lot better compared to my original. I really should post some photos of how my owl has evolved from the very first version of Kai, to his current version. I think I will definitely stick with his current version because it makes him look a lot cuter but he doesn't lose one bit of his character :). I am also really tempted to do a line of mushroom bears. I really love their size -- I love how they sit comfortably in my hand, and how they can sit on their own. I hope I'll have time.

Order status will be updated again very soon. Most orders will ship out tomorrow (Thursday December 3, 2009) or on Friday (December 4, 2009) -- in order to minimize the number of trips to the post office.

My most recent orders will also ship out very soon as I'm sure I'll have a chance to finish them this week :D So please do check back as I'm continually updating the status of each order as I make further progress with them.

Once these are finished I'll finally get a chance to work on my special order for Alex! I'm really excited to work on it and I hope it'll turn out great!

Photos to come soon :)

Oh yeah! And I changed the look of the blog. I'm still in the middle of making changes, but I thought that more colour would do me well lol.

*Sorry for the delay. I had been working on finishing/shipping out a very important wholesale order. So I'm a little behind in individual orders. Please do know that I'm working as hard and fast as I can to get these out to you asap. I will keep you all updated =)

Reminder:
The last day to place your order is November 30, 2009 if you want it to arrive on time for Christmas. Reason being that I will be in South Korea from December 17, 2009 until January 1, 2010. So most likely, any orders placed after November 30, 2009 will arrive to its destination after January 1st, 2010 (unless I have enough time before hand to make it and ship it out before I leave for South Korea :) Thanks for your understanding :D
*Nov 30, 2009 is also the last day to use my instore discount. Please note that the 10% discount is only applied if the discount code is present in the message to seller box upon checkout. I cannot issue a discount unless that is present :)

yOomii gone abroad.

yOomii + Kumquat
After all the hard work that I put into my most recent wholesale order, I'm super proud and happy to announce that they have arrived safely in L.A. in a shop known as "Kumquat"--a wonderful place that sells baby clothing and gift sets :) I'm so happy that Angelyn sent me photos of my creations sitting on a shelf in her lovely shop! If I ever get a chance to go to L.A. any time soon, I'd definitely love to drop by in person to say hello hehe :) Thanks Angelyn for being so kind and patient! I'm really happy that my little characters have reached you safely and are now in your shop :D

Slight delay in some orders.

There will be a slight delay in some orders as I am still waiting on some supplies to arrive so please bare with me. I will promptly ship out each order as they become ready. If you have any questions or concerns, please do let me know :) Please scroll down to my previous post to see the current status of your order.

The last day to place your order to receive it in time for Xmas will be on November 30, 2009. After this date, there is not guarantee that I will be able to get your order out to you in time because I will be departing for South Korea on December 17, 2009 to visit my friend who is currently teaching there. Please do try to get your orders in on time if you plan on ordering something as a christmas present. All orders placed after this date will most likely reach you in the new year when I come back to Canada :) Thanks for your understanding :)

Updates.

Sorry for my absence as I have been extremely busy working on everyone's orders and trying to get them out there on time. I will be shipping out a bunch of orders on saturday so most of you should receive them soon. As for those who have ordered from me recently, I will be updating the status of your order here on my blog :)

Also did you notice that I've changed my shop banner? ^^
What do you think? Do you like it? I was trying to go for a christmas/winter theme haha :)

I hope everyone is doing well ^^

Introducing: Keiko ^^

Today (October 30) was suppose to be my little Kazu's birthday... unfortunately he passed away 10 days ago (as some of you may know). Today, we've also decided to add a new member to our family. I've decided to name her Keiko (aka Koko). I'll try to post a photo of her soon (right now she's extremely full of energy, being a young hamster and all) and just wants to keep running around in her exercise ball. So once she sits still enough for a photograph, a photo of her will be posted on my blog :)
Edit: Photo now posted. Brief moment of when she decided to take a 2 minute nap inside her exercise ball before discovering that I was taking her photo...

I miss my little Kazu, and wish we could celebrate his birthday today. But I'm hoping that Keiko will enjoy living in her new home with her new family :) I hope we'll have plenty of fun memories with her too. I also hope that Kazu (being her older brother and all, will watch over her ^^)

She strikingly looks a lot like Kazu (although she has a more orangey fur colour). I didn't notice this until I got home. But she's got a completely different personality :) She's also a lot younger than how Kazu was when I first got him. Keiko is also a lot more jumpy, and I can't quite hold her in my hands yet, as she'll just want to jump out and go explore some other place...lol

When my sister gets home, I'll introduce her to Keiko. I Keiko will bring a smile to her face, and replace sad memories with happy ones :)

My dad said he saw a really cute furry teddybear hamster in the pet shop yesterday... I'm still debating if I should go and check it out tomorrow (since I'm still grieving over my little Kazu), but he said the ones he saw were very adorable so we'll see :) Maybe if I get a new one, it'll help me get over my sadness ... hmmm (but maybe it's still too early... )

Cute Treasuries and updates.

On October 24 and 26, 2009 my pandas and my owls were featured in two very super adorable Etsy Treasuries!
Have a look! I'm so thankful to both ShyPanda and fantasTshirts for taking the time to feature my panda stationary, and my knitted amigurumi owl in their own treasuries :)

Kazu.

For someone so small and full of life, he brought a large amount of joy and happiness to our family. I miss you kazu. Will never forget you T^T

I'll resume working on orders tomorrow...
For now, check out ulixis.blogspot.com as Amanda has featured Kai, my owl.

Quick note on Order Status.

As orders start to pile up (and as I am only one person) most made-to-order items will be shipped out (at least) approximately 1 - 2 weeks after order has been placed (made and shipped out in the order than each individual order has been received). You may check the status of your order here on my blog as I make further progress through each order.

I'll post an update to this post later on today with the status of peoples orders. Thank you for your understanding and patience as I try to get your orders out to you as soon as possible :)

If you have any questions, please send me an email: sheryan@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Special treat for Rosie.

Here's a sneak preview of 1/4 of my organic order for Rosie :)
Hope you'll like it. It's a tad bit different from my original version, but I really love how this one turned out ^_____^


^ Click to view a larger version of the photo

Created from 100% organic cotton yarns, stuffed with organic wool. Features 6mm black plastic safety eyes, embroidered nose and smile. Still missing his tag, but that will be attached to the back once my tags arrive ^^ Did I mention that his ears are somewhat posable? It's very cool :D

I still can't get over how cute it turned out *happy dance* ^______^

Kai is living a handmade life.

Yep that is right, Kai (my mister popular owl) has been featured in a blog known as Living A Handmade Life. Check it out when you get a chance :)


^ A big thank you goes out to Teri for featuring Kai in her blog :)

Because of his popularity, I'm actually considering whether or not I should do a giveaway, where the winner gets their very own custom made owl named Kai! Hmm, what do you think? Should I? ^_____^

Late night creativity.

I often find myself staying up really late at night to either finish working on orders or to make something new. Last night, while in bed, I opened up my sketchbook and started drawing stuff that I'd like to make, and stuff that I've already made. Sometimes I wish I had gone to art school to become a better illustrator. I should probably kick the habit of staying up late though, as it's really taking a tole on me. I feel so drained and sleepy, and just plain tired. And although I'm feeling fatigue, I find myself still staying up to work on things, not because I tell myself I need to finish making stuff (although that sometimes IS the case), but mostly because I'm having fun creating something with my hands, and wanting to see it completed sooner?

I've been working on my long over due custom organic order for Rosie. She's been so kind and patient, and I'm so grateful to her for giving me an opportunity to make some adorable characters for her. I've finished an owl, I'm about 80% finished her mushroom bear, as well as her bunny rabbit (both the mushroom bear and bunny need their arms and feet, and the bunny needs one more ear). I really love how they've turned out, and I'm really liking this organic order a lot! I still have one more bear to make for her order as well, and then once my new logo tags arrive (which I'll be able to sew onto these items) they'll be shipped out to you next week (I really wanted to send them out this week but the tags are not here yet). I'll try to post some photos soon :D:D:D

I've still got about 5 more owls to make for other individual orders, as well as a set of pandas that somebody has ordered from me today. I've also got my wholesale order to work on. For this wholesale order, I plan on working on it at the same time that I make the owls, that way I'll progress at a faster pace, and hopefully complete things a whole lot sooner. I'm really excited for the wholesale order though as my pandas, carrot bunnys, and owls will come in two different sizes! Horray! It will be another new experience for me, and I'll definitely grow and learn a lot from it.

NOTE ON CURRENT ORDERS: I'll let you know via Etsy Convo, Email, and or On my BLOG, when your order is ready to ship out. Please do understand that I am only 1 person working on these items for you :) But I will do my best to get them out to you in a timely manner ^^

Tonight, however, I will be taking a break. I will have to wake up early tomorrow anyways as people are coming over yet again to *hopefully* (and finally) close up the hole in the wall in our washroom. Today the closed up the one inside the closet... but in the washroom there still remains a giant hole where pipes can be seen. I'm really hoping they will finish tomorrow as I cannot stand not being able to use my own washroom when I want to use it to take my shower or to do other usual washroom bits... lol...But yeah, it has been quite frustrating having to wake up extra early because those people may (or may not) be coming in (sometimes they don't even show up... and I'll feel like I've waited for no reason, or waken up early for no reason). So here's hoping that they finish on time!

-------------- Anticipation of my upcoming 2 week trip:

My mom went and exchanged some CAD for USD today (the exact amount I will not disclose on here lol), but I makes me really excited as it means my trip is approaching really fast :D I still have to exchange CAD for KRW... (hopefully I can get around to doing that soon?) I cannot believe that it is almost the end of October already! That means it's almost November! Which ALSO means, I'm one month closer to it becoming DECEMBER! YES! December is the month I am looking forward to because it'll be my first time traveling outside of Canada with one of my friends (and not with our families). The last time I traveled outside of Canada was when I was 6 years old, and that was to visit our family in the Philippines. This time however, my friend and I will be visiting our friend in Korea who is doing the TaLK program (Teach and Learn in Korea). She is doing a 6 month long program, and to make sure she'll have an exciting christmas and new years, we will be there to spend that valuable time with her.... and of course... go shopping! :)

I'm really looking forward to getting a chance to visit South Korea with my friend, as it one of many places that I've been wanting to visit. I also want to go to Japan, but I'll only be in Japan for 3 hours for my connecting flight lol. Oh well, at least I'll be IN Japan. But I'll be spending 2 weeks in South Korea from December 18, 2009 to January 1, 2010. What's super cool is that even though we are leaving on new years day in Seoul, South Korea, we'll be coming back new years day in Toronto, Canada ^____^.

Double Feature & Front Page Success!

Now for some good news!
Today for the very first time, my pandas were featured on Etsy's FRONT PAGE! *Clapclapclap* Unfortunately I was not home to witness it, BUT I did check on Craftcult.com and saw that not only were my Pandas featured on Etsy's front page, but they were also featured in the Gift Guides as well (page 7) lol. Horray! I'm so happy! It's the first time that any of my characters were featured on the front page! Although I didn't get any sales from it (today), many people have hearted my shop and the pandas as well, and my number of visitors skyrocketed to over 600 unique visits! *happy dance*

Of course, I took some screen caps for my own record lol...





^ Click the above images to view a larger photo :D

Oh and the reason why I was not home to see this? My friends and I had a surprise dinner get together for one of our very good friends who is off to Taiwan for a few months ^^ I was really happy that we all got to see her before her flight, and she was also super surprised :D I hope she'll have a safe flight!

Frustrations.

A few days ago, I was super excited to receive an order from someone on Etsy. They had purchased five things from my shop: (1) a set of pandas, (2) a mushroom bear, (3) a mini felt mushroom bear, (4) adventures of tweet tweet panda stationary letter note set, (5) cute couple momo bears. Due to my excitement, I almost forgot to check if I had received payment from this person. I went and checked, and it showed that no payment had been received. So then I went and checked my paypal and my email (since sometimes it doesn't always show up on Etsy if someone had paid. Those pages also showed that no payment had been received.

I decided that I'd send a friendly reminder to this person via email and Etsy convo. The message I left in the email was the same message left in the convo -- I decided to send my message to both places incase the person checks one and not the other). The following day, I checked my Etsy page... no reply to my convo message, no check mark in the 'received payment' box. So then I checked my email and paypal again...no payment received. I decided to send another message to this person via email and Etsy convo. This morning after I woke up...I checked Etsy once again -- still no reply. Then I checked my email and Paypal -- still no payment. I've started to loose hope.

Now, right when I was going to send another message via convo to this person, I see that they have deleted their Etsy Account... so what do I do? I sent another email expressing my frustration, apologies, confusion, and ultimately my wish for this person to send me a simple reply to my email message. Is it really that hard to send a simple reply? If the person wasn't willing to pay for her order, I would have rather have that person not purchase my stuff in the first place. If the person really wanted to pay for his/her items, but needed more time, I'd appreciate them telling me so, as I am pretty flexible.

How can someone do something like this? It can't be a mistake to purchase something. You go through so many steps plus a confirmation page to actually process your order. So obviously I thought they had just forgotten to pay. If they were new to Etsy I would have been even more understanding... but this person has shopped on Etsy before.

So now I feel like, why me?
Why did this person do this to me?
Why did this person want to get my hopes up.
I put in a lot of effort to make these things in hopes of it bringing joy to someone. I put in effort to email my customers incase they forgot something. I put in effort to ask my customers different questions, and a great majority of them take the time to reply (e.g. if they want something sewn on, or if they want it made in a different colour or different size).

So now what? Now I'm left paying extra fees for the sale of this order, as well as extra fees for relisting this order.
I haven't really had to cancel an order before, except for once when someone requested that I cancel it because she was having trouble with her paypal (but at least she contacted me, unlike this individual). So I'm not really sure if these fees will be refunded. I know it will probably take some time for the fees to be refunded, but in the meantime I'll still have to pay for them.... it all adds up... and I don't think it's really fair.

Even now, I still feel like giving this person a chance to email me back, so I can at least know the reason why they did this, and if they are still planning on paying (as I still have their address and contact information in my records). But if I don't hear from them by tomorrow, I'm going to have to cancel the order, and be put on an extremely LONG wait list for the cancellation of the order to be processed.

----------

The Reply:
So after taking the time to write everything up above, I have finally received an email from the person in question.
The response?
-- apparently they [the person] did not order anything from Etsy recently, and does not know why their account is deactivated...
At least the person apologized for what has happened, but I'm still going to have to cancel the order. Off I go...sigh*

----------

After asking someone else's opinion about the issue, we think someone might have hacked into this person's account, and purchased from my shop without paying, but I'm not really sure.. just speculating...

----------

Just finished sending my requests to cancel this order. For an order consisting of 5 transactions, it is quite difficult to send a request. It would be so much easier if we could enter the order number instead of each individual transaction number, as it only accepts one transaction number at a time... T____T

The excitement of being featured.

Recently, Kai (my super cute knitted owl) has become quite popular! Not only did people purchase him in two consecutive days (and within hours apart on the same day), but he has also been featured in a Treasury this morning! I'm so glad people are getting to see Kai and are showing interest in him as well :)


A big thank you goes out to angelasermoneta for featuring Kai in her treasury.

Now for some super exciting news! Kai was featured on the front page of Etsy's Gift Guides!.

When I came home from my Korean class, I signed onto Etsy and did my regular routine of checking for messages. Then I spotted something strange.... the stats for Kai showed 500 views!. I had relisted him on the 6th of October, so when I saw that he had been viewed 500 times my eyes opened really wide! I've never gotten that many views for an item in less than a day before! So I started searching around on CraftCult.com to see if I had maybe been featured on the front page of Etsy. Unfortunately I wasn't featured on the front page of Etsy, BUT my owl WAS featured on the front page of Etsy's Gift Guides!, which is still SUPER AWESOME!





I am so super happy that many, many people were able to see all in one day! ^_________^

Christmas orders + current events.

Important note about Christmas!.
I know christmas is 2 months away, but so is my trip to South Korea, so I left an important message on my shop's front page:

❤❤❤ Get your CHRISTMAS shopping done early! ❤❤❤
I will be in South Korea from December 17, 2009 to January 1, 2010. So if you are planning on ordering any items from my shop as a christmas present, please do so before December arrives so that I can make sure that your items get out to you on time! ^_______^

All orders placed between December 17, 2009 and January 1, 2010 will be shipped out after the first week of January. Thank you for your understanding :)

It is super important that if you plan to order something from my shop as a christmas present for someone (or for yourself), please try to place your order before the month of December, as I will be away for two weeks in December and will be back in Toronto on January 1, 2010. In order to receive your items on time, please do make sure that you place your order before then ^_______^ as mentioned above, all orders placed between December 17, 2009 and January 1, 2010 will at the earliest be shipped out in the second week of January and afterwards. If you place your order for something in the first week of December, there is still a chance that you might receive it after I return to Toronto! So in order to avoid delays, please try to order your items prior to the month of December :)

Thank you in advance ^_______^

Current Events during my week:
This week I've been super busy with orders. I'm really glad that people are showing interest in the things that I am making, and I have a lot of fun making them. Although I've had at least 1 sleepless night this week (I was actually awake for 25 hours the other day because I stayed up to finish one of my orders and after coming home from the post office, I still could not fall asleep so I started working on some other orders lol) I'm still having a lot of fun with this stuff.



Currently I'm working on finishing up a sheep family, which I'd like to mail out tomorrow morning/afternoon. I'd also like to finish up my organic order because my customer has been SO incredibly patient with it, and I feel bad that it has taken me so long to complete her custom order. I was actually working on the owl for her order yesterday, but fell asleep while making the second wing (since I was awake for 25 hours that day lol). I'm hoping that I'll have her whole order finished by the end of this week so that I can mail them to her in Australia ^^

Aside from that, I also need to mail out one more set of pandas to someone in the US this week ^^ I hope I'll be able to finish everything on time :D

Today I received 3 orders for owls... haha I'm so happy that Kai (my knitted owl) is super popular ^_____^ I'm hoping to have those finished for next week so that I may start working on my wholesale order :D

Newly listed.

So very sorry for my absence. I've been super busy with orders and making new stuff for my shop! One of which is now currently available in my shop ^^ ta-da! my Mini Felt Mushroom Bears are in my shop and are ready to travel around with you wherever you go!







They are roughly 2.5" tall, have 3mm black matte bead eyes, are fully hand cut out of a wool-acrylic blend felt, hand stitched with colour coordinating embroidery thread, and filled with polyfil toy stuffing ^^

They're so super cute! I really enjoyed making these.
Currently the colours I have available are: Light pink, dark pink, light yellow, dark yellow, robins egg blue, dark blue, light green, and white. If you'd like a different colour than what is listed, please send me a convo or reply to this post to let me know and I will let you know the other colours that I have available ^^

Currently working on:
- Whole sale orders (2 different ones, destined for Australia and for the US)
- A sheep family
- A polar bear and pandas

Introducing: Mushroom Bear Charms

Yes I have decided to make mushroom bear accessories out of felt (since I have a ton of felt at home), and I'm loving how they've turned out. Look forward to seeing them in my shop very soon :D For now enjoy this photo as my 'sneak preview' hahaha.



They are bag accessories, but you can also use them to dress up your key chain, or even your cellphone (if you'd like it as a cellphone accessory, please convo me ahead of time as I would have to purchase the cellphone straps to use lol).
They will also be available in a variety of colours, so please check out my etsy shop later on this week to see if I have listed them ^^

Featured: Treasury & some other things ^^

So my Marching Polar Bear has been featured yet again in another exciting Treasury! Thanks so much to GEOmetricSTYLE for featuring my polar bear :D. Make sure that you check out my polar bear in this awesome treasury :D. It expires on Monday, Sept. 21, 2009 at 5:41 AM (lol) but if you miss it, click on the photo below to view a larger version of the picture so that you can see my polar bear ^^




As the weather gets colder, I find myself getting prone to illness quite easily. Which is so strange for me. I'm fearing getting a sore throat, as I have not experienced a sore throat ever since getting my tonsils removed earlier on in the year. I have to say, getting them removed wasn't that bad, but recovering from the surgery was one of the WORST experiences of my life! HAha, it was really all too painful of a recovery, and my sleeping pattern (rather than getting better), has complete flipped upside down. My internal clock is still set to function in the other side of the world haha. Oh well, I think I'm starting to adjust now, waking up earlier, and trying to sleep earlier (although the last 2 nights I've been up really late).

The other night, I went out on a triple date of sorts. We ventured into Korea Town, and ate at two different restaurants. The first consisted of REALLY spicy food, but I just LOVE my spicy rice cakes! I will definitely buy those when I go to Korea in December as I know that will definitely warm me up haha. At the other restaurant I had some bulgogi which was yummy :) I don't think I've ever eaten so much food in my life haha. But it was a good night out with friends :)

Gotten a few orders in this week that I'm really happy about and I'm super excited to work on them. I've got 2 sets of pandas to make, plus a marching polar bear (the one that was featured ^^) as well as the rest of my organic order to finish! It's been a lot of fun, and I'm always excited to take in more orders. Keeps my hands busy :D

Thinking about purchasing a shelf space in this new shop that is opening downtown to sell some of my toys there ^^ But I will probably be able to do that in the new year since I've spent so much this month on plane tickets and hostel bookings for Lisa and My Trip to Korea to visit Janet. Hopefully I will be able to reserve a spot for my toys in that shop though. It would be an exciting venture :D.

Anyways, I've got to get back to working on orders as well as a logo for someone ^_____^
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend~

Featured, Reviewed, and Currently working on.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
I'm still feeling sick and drinking some yummy green tea while I write my post (mmm I'm so glad I bought the right one! lol).
A lot has been going on lately. I finished all 3 of my recent orders and shipped them out the other day so please expect to receive them in the mail soon :D I finally had some time to start working on my organic order! I have been wanting to work on this order for SUCH a long time, but always ran out of time because of other orders that were needed sooner, but don't worry I haven't forgotten about you! I am actually almost finished making an organic mushroom bear! It's so adorable! and made out of organic cotton yarn and filled with organic wool stuffing ^_____^ I had such a productive day yesterday and managed to get a lot of things done and was able to work on new things which I am happy about.

During the week, some of my toys have also been featured in treasuries.
On September 12, 2009 my Mushroom Bear Family were featured in a Treasury called The Mighty Mighty Mushroom which was created by woolcrazy. I was so happy that she decided to feature my mushroom bear family, as they were a recent listing of mine :) Thanks so so much!




On the 15th, my Sleepy Owl (Kai) was featured in a treasury called What's on your needles! I was so thankful to PanicaLab for featuring my owls ^____^ And I'm glad that my owls are so popular among different people on Etsy ^___^




Lastly ChocolateCherriBomb did a review about my shop/some of my toys. It was mainly a review on the giant mushroom bear which I had made for her and I'm super happy that she loved the mushroom bear so much! And I'm really thankful for the review as well. Please head over here to read the review.



Things left to work on:
- 1 set of pandas for Tiffany
- Organic order for Rosi (1 mushroom bear (almost finished), 1 Yuu-kii bunny, 1 small momo bear, 1 kai owl)

Productive day.

Finished a lot of work yesterday :) I'm so proud of my self lol. After 2 busy weeks of traveling and catching up on rest due to my busy travels, I managed to get a lot done yesterday. I've finished working on a Polar bear (but still have to finish his flower and fishy), and finished working on an owl ^^ My pandas will be done soon as well and then I'll be able to ship them all out! I'm so excited for these people to receive their items :)

Then I can finally work on my organic order! I'm so sorry that it is taking me long to finish your order, but I will definitely make sure that they will turn out great :D I'll post photos up here for you to see as I complete each one so that you can look forward to receiving them ^^ And I'm really glad that you aren't in a hurry to receive them either as it gives me ample time to create them with the utmost quality for you :) I'm so excited to work on this order and ship them out to you all the way to Australia :D

Waiting for my dad to get home before I head out to get something... (the construction people are still busy fixing our wall.... they put holes in it 2 weeks ago (maybe longer) and are only getting around to fixing it now because they also have the rest of the building to deal with too.... so until my daddy comes back, I cannot leave the apartment lol. I feel so isolated haha.

Now onto more photos from my camping trip / time spent at scenic caves ^^
