where is the garden?

I always want to have a garden, a big one, in my day dream and night dream. I want to enjoy the happiness of laboring in the garden and watch a little seed grow into a green plant with flowers; I want to enjoy reading in the quietness of a lazy afternoon; I want to let my dog and cat have a playground; I want...

But the garden is just so far away until I saw Steve Wheen's pothole garden. Steve's gardens are on the hole of the side road with many miniatures to go with it. It not just brings lots of happiness to himself, but also the passers-by. People are inspired by those empty chairs, telephone booth, tables, etc.

Maybe I can do something in the same way, as Mencius said, "独乐乐 不如众乐乐”, or the more the merrier.

Little Things/小时光

In the backstreet of my home, there is a whole street of shops selling accessories, stationaries and snacks, groceries with all those things attracted to little girls and boys as well as a big girl, me. That's one of my favorite streets in my little town, even though it's only 20 meters long, I could stay there for hours, checking new arrivals of every shop, and my trophy was always hair clips, ball pens, or notebooks. The most luxury item I bought there was a brooch with glass beads. For that, I chose for over one hour at the door front and made a very hard decision among different designs which I like them all.

Now I've collected several drawers of such little things, but all those old things are still dear to me. This time I made these little things for you.

Night Market Adventure



Preparing day and night for two weeks, finally on 30th and 31st Aug at Chijimes Hall (an old elegant white church), my friend and I have our little stall opened, displaying beautifully with our handmade items, bracelets, brooches, hair decors, etc.
It's a privilege to be able to sell our works at such a historical building, though the business did not go as well as what we have expected, it is still a wonderful experience for both of us.

And thanks a million for every friend who has come and shopped there. Love you all!!

Happy Smile/童年记忆

I love pinwheels, the sight of it always gives me lots of happy memories of my childhood.
It's usually in the autumn. When it's time to harvest the corn, we started making pinwheels by using corn stems to hold it for they have a soft cotton texture inside it. We would compete with each other on whose pinwheel was the biggest. Then running in the field to catch the wind for a long long time. When finally feeling tired, we went back home and put it into a hole of the window frame, just enjoying staring at it for its occasional turning and turning and turning...

These pinwheels are for finding back your happy memories and create many many more happy moments for you and everyone around you.

This time I chose premium quality cardstock, so it can be used for quite a long time just with your proper care. And I also designed it for multiple uses, you can hang it up, tie it to a stick or just paste to the wall.

Hope you find fun with it!!
