What I've been busy with

So terribly sorry for the lack of updates! Main reason being work has started and I am no longer hand-making full time. Work has been crazy for the past 6 months, with 3 to 4 deadlines on an average week. I can't say I enjoy my work now, but this is only the training phase and I'm very hopeful that once this phase is over I'll start to enjoy what I'll be doing, since it's been my dream job since young.

My work is also why I haven't been making new stuffs for my etsy store, which is why I'm more than thankful for the occasional sales I've made for the past 6 months! Hopefully work will be less hectic from next year onwards (though it seems very unlikely) so I can afford more time for my shop.

Even so, I managed to do some rubber carving during some of my free time!

This was carved with the intention to stamp on my thank-you notes everytime there's a sale.
But I always forget to use it!

And a cupcake stamp for my handmade Christmas cards this december!

I got my supplies from etsy too! That place is truly a handmade haven. So far I've gotten my jewelry, felting, and rubber carving supplies from there!

I tried the rubber carving myself after looking up on these how-to videos on youtube, like the one above. But somehow my stamps aren't as clean as theirs! Maybe it gets better with more practice.

That's all for today! Next time I'll update with other stuffs I've been making. Oh, today when I was learning how to cook from my grandma I suddenly had this idea to upload all the recipes to this blog! Maybe from the next post onwards I'll add a "recipe" tag. This way my sisters (who are now married and have their own families) can refer to them too! 

Really excited about this idea!
