Update..

I’ve been back from Bangkok yesterday.. One week that I rarely connected to internet because I think there are some problems with my internet in Bangkok.. It’s very slow and can’t connect.. but I could watch Korean Series in YouTube.. could open only YouTube, don’t know why..

Anyway, I arrived at Bangkok on Sunday Evening.. and did nothing.. because I had an allergy.. running nose all night ’til next morning.. and slept all day on Monday.. then on Tuesday.. I took my car for the mid-year checking and had time to shop while waiting my car.. I got more supplies.. but still missing something.. poor me.. I have an idea for new earrings with flower spacers but forgot to buy some gold parts due to golden spacers.. don’t want to combine gold and silver.. Luckily that my brother will come to visit my parents on next Tuesday so I will ask him to buy them for me..

On Wednesday Morning, I went to Skin Institute with my Mom as appointment. Several years ago, a doctor removed a dark spot below my left eye by laser but it left me a scar (which bigger than the dark spot.. can’t remember why I decided to do that..) and he couldn’t help me to erase that scar so I went to Skin Institute to discuss with another doctor.. this doctor is the same doctor who take cares my mom and my sister for facial treatment.. she suggested me to make “Subcision” this time after I had “IPL Laser Treatment” (IPL = Intense Pulsed Light) for about 2 years. Subcision is process used to treat deep rolling scar due to scar tissue bands pulling downwards on the skin. This procedure involves a needle insertion and breaking up the scar from underneath to allow the release of skin. After doing this, I had a purple mark at the scar but the size is bigger.. and can’t let it be touched by water for 4 days.. OMG.. But I hope this scar will be gone..

After that I didn’t go anywhere due to the purple mark on the top cheek.. I wore a sunglasses when went out.. but I tried to avoid going out.. Then I was back on Saturday.. and all the purple is gone now.. leave me a red at the scar and yellow around red spot..

Now I’m back to normal again.. can connect to internet.. can update all my blogs and post new items in my shops..

One thing that disturbing me.. is that the custom-order in my supply shop is still in the shop.. I’ve already contact the customer and she said she was busy with her kids but she will purchase last week.. I don’t want to be rude to ask her again.. I think I will ask her again next month but don’t know when will be appropriate.. :(   I don’t like to be a rude seller..

Anyway, good news with my trip to Bangkok too.. I sold 2 bracelets to my sister’s colleague and have a custom order for Mobile phone cover.. Now mom and I have to design how to sew it..

What about you??  :D

New Logo for My Jewelry Bags

After I figured out that the design of my jewelry bags need lot of time on that alphabet embroidery, I tried to design new embroideries and make samples for every design.. finally I got the one I love.. as I told you last time.. I went back to my original logo of my shop, my favorite symbol, Snowflake..

I still use the purple colors for my bags.. want to change to the blue to match the banner and everything.. but the blue velvet fabrics are not the shade I like..

This snowflake embroidery uses time half of the alphabet.. but I still try to make the alphabet embroidery for my supply shop.. I think lot of people like the monogram embroidery.. but for hand embroidery it will be more expensive than the machine.. and take more time to make too.. so maybe not a very good idea to do.. but no wrong to try..

I still haven’t decide that my bags will have the bucket on the rim as the last one or not.. what do you think??

Addict to Embroidery…

Yesterday, I was addicted to Embroidery.. searching the techniques in internet and tried almost everything.. so when I remembered that I had blogs to update, it was almost midnight.. then I planned to sleep early to wake up early today and I can update blogs in the morning.. but I couldn’t sleep until 3am (my usual sleep time) and woke up at 10am this morning (my usual wake-up time, too).. so no different about my time but I didn’t do anything as schedule.. and the embroidered alphabet I made last night was not success too.. Mom told me that if I can sell this embroidered alphabet, she can’t help me to do that.. so.. I stop doing it.. and go for other designs..

Then today, I try to photograph the new velvet bags I made so I can add more colors in my shop.. but I have itchy eyes and running nose during I photograph them.. I think because of the dust and hair from Navy Blue velvet.. I try to continue shooting them.. more itchy and my eyes turn red.. oh my god.. have to have my allergy medicine, drop some eye medicine, find the ice to cool my eyes, wash my face after I found some velvet hair at my nose.. and now I still decide what to do.. I think I will try to photo shoot more.. I have to finish all things that I didn’t do yesterday.. At first I plan to show you my snowflake jewelry bag.. but I will do tomorrow..

Wish me luck!!

Addict to Sewing

After I had an order for jewelry bags, Mom and I are addicted to sewing.. Today we go to the fabric store for more colors of velvet to make more bags.. It’s my idea to create more bags in different colors.. and I design different pattern for embroidery too.. and I finally have the embroidery pattern that I will permanently use as my logo.. I think you can guess.. Snowflake.. I come back to my original shop logo again.. I still love snowflake even it’s not winter.. I think snowflake patterns are the amazing patterns made by nature (I think God designs all of them.. ^-^) But not the blue one that you’ve seen in my supply shop.. I use chain line to create this one and no dot at the end.. I think it’s better to show you.. but I haven’t taken the photo yet.. so I will show you next time..

Oh forgot to tell you the colors of the fabrics that I bought. They are White, Pastel Pink, Green, and Maroon..
