My Dog Diary

Gosh! I’ve just noticed that it’s been so long since I last updated this blog. Goodness.

Many things happened over the last few weeks. The home accessories didn’t come out very well so we are now in the process of fine-tuning it. New t-shirt designs are ready, just waiting for the right time to print out and start selling. Hoo. In the meantime, I have a few pendants to share - yeah I know I said we’ll stop for a while but these little things are so cute and they keep calling me to make them out! lol excuses excuses.

And then with our new supplies coming in, we have also made a set for one of our existing pendant - a ring to go along with The Fall pendant. Specially ordered by one of our all-time-favourite customers, Bibiana from Sarawak. Thanks Bibiana, I hope you like it.

We’ll be taking off from our jewelry/pendant creation for a while - like one week or so - to update our t-shirt and another new line of home accessories. It’s been a while since we last working on those and I thought it’s best to update our creation and get things fresh again.

So here will be some latest creations. Drop me a note if you are interested, or you can see them with more details in our new Etsy shop (little widget on the sidebar).

1) Blue Confusion (in rectangular, cube, or round).

2) Black Horizon (in rectangular, cube, or round).

Yesterday morning I finally managed to ‘force’ DARL out of the bed in the morning and bring Xiao Bi out for a short walk. It’s been a while since we walked her and we didn’t notice that she had, somehow, chewed off her harness - again! Arrgghhh…

After much searching, I had to settle with Snow White’s old collar. And with no surprise, she got herself off the collar and ran all over the neighbourhood like nobody’s business. @.@ I really really really hate this!

DARL only managed to get her after following her for a good 10 minutes and that’s when we saw a gentleman walking his Golden Retriever too. Ooo a macho one.

Xiao Bi saw him and was way too excited and jumping like a monkey. @.@ Her new friend, however, was soooo calm standing there, just looking at her from a distance. Ouh how I wish Xiao Bi could be this calm, just like how an ordinary Golden Retriever would be!

The owner brought him nearer and we got a little chit-chatting, while Xiao Bi continued to jump up and down, trying to hop on her new friend. I was expecting her new friend to be much older but surprise! He is only one year old, just like Xiao Bi!!! OMG this is so malu… @.@ OK la the owner was kind enough to comment that Xiao Bi was just too playful but deep down we all know, she is just way too wild. @.@

We had to end the session when her new friend seemed to have started warming up with this new monkey. LOL. I think I’m going to buy Xiao Bi another new harness and make it a point to bring her out at least 3 times a week. She seriously needs more socialising than I expected!

A few months ago I stumbled upon Etsy and found the site really awesome. It features sellers from all around the world, and the best part is, it features handmade products! There are thousands and thousands of great artists and artisans all over the world and their unique little arts are being sold there. I really like the site and I spent hours everyday browsing through the newly listen items. LOL.

I then talked to DARL and we decided to try listing some of our new handmade stuffs there, since not all of our stuffs are handmade. While honestly speaking, I don’t really know how the site work even until now, it’s so much neater then eBay and you really feel it more ‘humane’ in a way or another. And one day, just a few hours after we listed our pendants, we received an email:
