First Quick New House Decor.

First Decor , A corner of the living room, my favorite spot at our new home.
It's just temporary. I just wanted to do something to feel like my own house.

A pair of Hawaiian quilt is 20" square wall hanging.
They are also for pillow case with zippers on the back side.

I always make square wallhanging quilt durable as pillow cases.
They look like a new.
But all Hawaiian quilts and heart quilt is made around  2008~2009

The stain on the wall is going to be covered by some other decorative stuff 
or maybe stencil.
Great to have a new home of our own.

Follow Your Heart - Island Style, My favorite

 Follow your heart - Ocean Gypsy
- white island style is my favorite jewelry collection I made last Summer.
This silvery white reminds me of the Singing Beach.
The water was very shallow to far far away.
We walked miles and miles, still the lake water was above my knee.
I could see through the water , the bottom was like wavy patternd all around by the endless lake breeze.
That looked like really singing all together.
 Alice in Wonderland is the broze and colorful version of the collection.
I love this earrings.
So emotionally attached to me.

Ann Of The Green Gables

Red hair Ann animation TV show was my favorite when I was little.
Long after maybe almost 30 years later I had a chance to get the TV show series of this.
I loved all the atmosphere of the film. 
so impressive and heart-warming  story 
as always Ann of Green gable is.
Not long after luckly I had another chance to meet Ann.
Yeah, I traveled Prince Edward Island in nova Scotia.
And there was Ann of green gabel , Ann's house.
It was very small and narrow inside.
Ann's room was small and pretty.
a beautiful quilt blanket was on the bed.
That was the best part for me .

 Ann is not that papular character in South Korea,
 I can only hold Ann theme printing fabric imported from Japan.
Ann is one of the Japanese loving chractor.


Lately one of the Korean Quilt fabric shop designed Ann series fabric.
I imported these fabrics from Korea 
and made these Ann series pillow cases for little girls.


I made simple pillow top and quilted top.
This pillow design is my idea and it worked well with this print.
I made total 5 different pillow case designs with Ann, Diana printing.



Appliqued pencil case is originally the shop item.
I changed background fabric and small details.
the mini case has front side and back side appliqued .
very cute and fun item for little girl's gift. 
I'm sure that you can't buy this fabric in Canada.



This is Ann portraited patch fabric I'm selling on my etsy shop.
It's very natural color and organic cotton texture.
I 'm planning to make pillow cases and curtain with this fabric.

Moonlights - Autumn Collection 2014

 Just finished my new Autumn collection jewelry photo shop.
Such a delicious eye candies.
I love every each of them.
Main theme material is Fresh water pearl- free formed Zibra pattern. 
While being busy preparing and packing  to move to my new house,
I had this colletion idea in my mind and had to finish them.
 Zibra pattern free form Fresh water pearl is all different natural shapes.
There is no identical shape.
So I combined several similar shapes and patterns, made a few set.
I made with gunmetal , gold plated , and silver plated wires to unique pairs of earrings.
They are glowing under the sunshine and night lights.
Perfect for a beautiful beach style bridesmaids set.
 Florite teardrop set is my love here.
So romantic, elegant, and vintage mode.
I wire wrapped and linked with yellow Agate for the necklace.
Only one set for wedding or special days.

Pink Heart Handmade Patchwork Cosmetic Pouch

Pink Heart Cosmetic Pouch instructions is one of  my steady seller
 on my Etsy shop.
I first made this last Spring (2013) by using stash but soon I had to order more fabric for my custom orders.
The instructions are made later on April 2014.
And it sells as  instant downloadable PDF file and JPG files.
making the pouch is a piece if cake for me.
Because I have been made these pouches for over 20 years.
It was one of my first project when I was a beginner quilter on the early 1990.
I soon fell in love with making this, L made all big holiday gifts
 for all my family and friends,
I mean for girls.
My sister has 3 pouches I made.
They are all made in around late 1990.
Guess what? she is still using them and they are still very very good condition.
Of course my sister is extra clean and keeping things well person.
As I mentioned that making pouches is a piece of cake.
I can make 3 pouch in one day.
Well, for preparing instructions, God  I'm telling you that  I worked a looot!!
Every step of process I took photos, hundreds of photos.
Then start to photo-shop for days.
And then Ordering the photos, describing instructions one by one. 
It was not easy job.
Simply I put a lot of effort into making this instructions.
I really like to do things done by myself as much as handcrafting.


The last thing I prepared is Kit set.
It's my favorite part.
When I prepared this Kit and took photos, I was happy for my customer
s who will open and big smile seeing this.
Yeah! I love kit , ordering quilt kit feels me like  I already made them.
So I know about sewing kit well.
I hope everybody enjoy my pouch Kit.
Now they are on  store.
I also made mini partial tutorial video for this.
The link is provided on the instructions.

More Rustic Collection

Another rustic collection I made last Autumn-full of Autumn.


I have a quite collection of antique style metal charms.
They are very good with Czech beads, which they call it Picasso.
I had a lot of fun to play with these charms , beads, and leather cord.
At the end of the fun process it had a personality of its own.
It's awesome Bohemian style bracelet.
Strangely it went well with the baby pink cute Czech bracelet.
So I mixed and matched them.
