Well, not really... haha, but I thought this photo was funny (: Here you can see Jacob sitting inside of Alex's tshirt. I thought it was hilarious, and Alex was kind enough to send me this photo to post up on my blog ^^ Thanks Alex for the photo :D:D:D and I'm really happy that you like the owl I had made for you ^____^

Hey everyone, this is just a quick shout out to those of you who have featured some of my toys in your Etsy Treasuries^^. There was a few recently, but I didn't get to make a post about them, so I wanted to do a quick post now as part of my thank you (: If you haven't already, check out these awesome Treasuries which have been kind enough to included some of my characters, as well as other works by many different artists ^^.
Other recent treasury features can be found in the links off to the side under "Recently seen on". Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to include one of my characters in their amazing treasuries. It really means a lot and I appreciate it (:
A big thank you to Seamstress of Avalon for taking the time to feature some of my characters in her blog ^^ It made me really happy to read her comments about my little characters, and I'm really happy that she likes them ^_^ I hope that my cute little characters will be able to bring some happiness to different people around the world ^^ although I know I've been behind in completing orders, but I'm getting there! Thanks again, and definitely do stop by Ginger's blog to see which characters of mine she featured!
On a side note, I got a new hamster yesterday (: Hamsters are really cute little animals, and each one has a different personality. This is my third hamster . I named her 'Momo' but my sister likes to call her Momotoshi^^ (my dad really wanted us to name her 'hippo' since I think he liked seeing the hippos over at the zoo, but I really didn't want to give her that name. My previous hamsters were called Kazu, and Keiko. Some of you might remember blogging about them before^^.
Other cute animals that I saw in the pet store yesterday included a guinea pig, and a hedgehog! The guinea pigs were adorable! There was one that I thought was extremely cute, and I wanted to take it home with me, but I don't have a big enough 'house' for it. Maybe one day I'll have a guinea pig as a pet. They look like giant hamsters haha, and their lifespan is longer too. The hedgehogs were very cute too, from what I could see (they were sleeping inside a giant tube thing so it was a little hard to see it).
Momo seems to be quite calm, although she's still adjusting to her new environment. She gets really jumpy when she's scared, and looks unsure at times. She's really quite the runner and jumper though, so picking her up and trying to hold her is really quite impossible right now, but I'm sure in the near future she'll feel more comfortable in her new home, and then we'll be able to let her run around for a little outside of her house inside one of those exercise balls ^^
I'm still thinking about upgrading her house to a bigger one. Although it's a bit expensive (double the price of the one I currently have), but I think she'd like it more since she'd have more space to walk around and explore. Also, the tubes that I use for my current hamster house can easily be used with the larger version as well... so she could pretty much be living in a hamster mansion hahaha. We'll see though. I still have to go back to another pet store to check out the price, because I forgot how much it costs.
I'll try to post up a short little video later of Momo, or at least some photos, when I get a chance (she's sleeping right now, so that makes it less entertaining).
Hi Everyone! Sorry that I haven't been blogging lately. I've been going through a bit of a rough time with some things, and needed to take some time off to deal with some personal stuff. But I haven't forgotten about any of you. I'm getting back into the swing of things and working hard to complete your orders. Sometimes when things in life get rough, it feels like it's super hard to concentrate on ones work, and even though you try as best as you can to keep moving forward, sometimes things just don't end up going that way. But I'm still learning. I decided to give myself a much needed break from everything to help clear my mind. There were many things that I really needed to sort out. I wanted to be able to work on your orders with a clear mind, and I think now that I've had a much needed break I'll be able to do so, and will be much more productive.
That being said, I'm terribly sorry for the delay this is causing for some of you to receive your order, but I hope you know that I will be putting in much love and hard work into making your oddly cute characters the best that they can be (:
The weather here in Toronto has been really humid lately. Last night I really could not manage to fall asleep at all. I was still tossing and turning in my bed at 4 in the morning, before I finally decided to move over to the living room and sleep on the couch. I'm glad I did, because our living room was much cooler compared to my bedroom, which was extremely humid and stuffy.
I hope the weather hasn't been too bad for everyone else around the world, wherever all of you may be. But if it is, do what I do, and run to the washroom and throw some cold water onto yourself. It'll help make you feel so much better! Or at least, it helps me. Of course, you can always go swimming too! I hope that I'll get a chance to go swimming with some of my friends soon. We're still trying to figure out when would be the best day to meet up. I still need to find more sunscreen (preferably waterproof) so that I can protect myself against the sun when I go outside haha.
Hope all is well! And again, sorry for the delays. Sometimes, life just throws you curve balls and you gotta make the best out of a bad situation~
