I have been having this thought for a while. You know, when I see the way Xiao Bi is loving her life. Being able to spend time with dogs in daily life is really a gift from heaven. I’ve told myself that I would want a dog that can live in the same room with me when I own a place for myself. You just can’t imagine how much they will teach you along the way. And it’s all straight forward. Loving life to the fullest.
And then I was working day and night when darl was away for a few days. I’ve got this, that I would like to dedicate to the dogs in the world. Made On Earth. This is where we belong to.




I’m loving the pink version so much that I’m keeping for myself. I would like to declare that I’m made on earth.

Life has been busy… and sick. So many things to do, so little body energy to handle. Sigh.
I’m working on making my own mold for the jewelry. There are some limitations but I love it. I just need to get myself away more to inhale lesser smell from the mold that makes me sick. @.@
Anyway, just a quick update. Xiao Bi has been improving bit by bit (as usual). And work wise, two of our t-shirts are flying to Hong Kong next week! I hope the new owner will love them.
I’ll try to post up some photos of Xiao Bi some time soon. Haven’t been snapping pretty photos of hers. She just isn’t a cooperative model. lol.

Darl has been complaining that I haven’t been following the Cesar Millan’s way to walk Xiao Bi for the past few days. He said I was too soft in terms of controlling her. Hello! She is huge for me ok… -.-
Anyway, I went walking Xiao Bi this evening myself. I walked her the way I want her to listen to me, and I think it went pretty well. She sat instantly when we met a small dog on the way back and I asked her to sit. She didn’t struggle to go to the dog. She followed when I walked, and she stopped when I stopped. Although yes at times she tried to sniff further than I allowed but she came back immediately once I pulled the leash. No struggling and pulling from her. It could just be one of the best walks that I’ve had with her so far.
Before we returned, I practiced with her in front of the house, walking round and round, again and again. She followed with no question asked. When I turned, she turned. When I stopped, she stopped. It was just so perfect!
I wouldn’t say that she is not 100% rehabilitated, but I would give a score of, say, 70%-80%. She is just so extra sweet now, that I believe very soon she will no longer be referred as my forever-rebellious GR.

I’ve been renewing the domain and switching hosting for the past few days, hence the lack of updates on this blog. Besides, I’ve been working quite a lot trying to get some work done too.
Some of the work are still pending for the final touch up. Here are a few that I’ve listed on Etsy.
Swirl Definition of Love Ring.

Basic Upcycled Long Purse/Wallet No.2

And my personal favourite, Basic Upcycled Long Purse/Wallet No.3

Go to my Etsy store (you can see on the sidebar) for more photos. I’m just plain lazy to upload all the photos here. Besides, I think they will look cluttered together… excuses. >.<
On the side note, we sold another Traffic Light T yesterday. Packed and ready to ship on Monday!

I was supposed to hold this on until I post all if them on Etsy and other places but I just can’t resist to write something! >.<
OK. First of all. A new necklace. Meant to drag my bf out for a walk. 

And another ring.

And then finally, the new stuff that I’m extremely excited with!

A recycled/upcycled/repurposed (whatever you name it!) long purse/wallet from banner!
I have actually done a similar test unit a few years back, and am now still using it. That was solely done by hand (yeah hand-sewing, which was really painful! >.<). This, was sewn using sewing machine. I do improve, you see.
The ring and necklace are already showcased on etsy and other places, but not the long purse. Most like will up tonight or early tomorrow morning. I have been dreaming of having this in our product line and I finally did it!
