Hello friends, i'm still here.
I spent a good portion of the impromptu blog break working on various projects around the house. The new home is slowly coming together at a snail's pace. Perhaps this weekend will be a good weekend to get settled a little more ~ maybe on my little creative space. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for all the extremely thoughtful comments and emails, and thank you for understanding my need to be quiet these couple of weeks.
In crafty news, i did spent several hours working in my not-so-organize creative space. It was so nice to find some time to get started on my Pipit productivity. Somewhere along the way, i've developed big plans for it and i'm trying to make several items for Pipit wonderful market and only have a month and 4 days from today to do it. Hectic.
Above are some of my newest "I believe" blossoms lace brooch pieces, these are making their debut on Pipit Wonderful Market along with a few of my Marylinn tote bags and some other SoCuteItHurts goodies.
I'm pleased as punch with how they turned out! These brooches are sweet and feminine with a taste of cuteness.
In case you are curious, these shabby chic trays are custom made by my sweet friend, Pei Li, to go along to display my brooch pieces. Thank you so much sweet Pei Li, these trays are just perfect! I also took these shots with my new photography table i bought for my new little creative space. So, it's official, i'm hooked.
With a little discipline, i'm going to tackle all that needs to be done for Pipit wonderful market in the next few weeks.
Have a sweet weekend, friends.
More soon, i promise.
As always your work is fabulous and the pictures are amazing! I love the tray! Wishing you a lovely and very productive weekend to get to finish your new space! Hugs!

Nice to see you back - we missed you! Glad things are getting settled and feeling like home. The brooches look beautiful I am sure they will be a big hit at the market! Any sign of the Snail mail yet? Or has it got confused by the change of address?? xx

Dearest sweet emma, i received a notification from the receptionist at my day job late friday about a package arrived for me. I was in a hurry to leave office that day so i couldn't go pick it up. I will have it pick up on monday and im sure it will be your package! I will keep you posted on it next week! Love to you!

I was just thinking of you. It's nice that you took a little time off to organize. We are moving right now and I'm considering a break myself.
These flowers are so sweet and I love your friends miniatures over at her blog too.

Oh Jacqueline... good to see you here! I've thought about you often. How lovely that you are getting settled in your new home and also preparing for Pipit. Your pieces are as sweet as can be!
Your words...
"These brooches are sweet and feminine with a taste of cuteness".... are a metaphor for the "sweet Jacqueline". Best to you...
