Pastel flowers

I went to the Kimono Fashion Show the other day . I was so inspired and at the same time it reminded me of some kimonos which I have in Japan. I always wanted to take a tea ceremony class so that I could have more opportunities to wear them.... maybe some day...

product tag









I have been working on a tag for my new product.
These are not jellyfish but flowers!
I also changed my logo. Just using my first name...
I thought this might be easier for people to remember.

What do you think?

La Maison en Petits Cubes



I watched Oscar-Winning short animated film, La Marison en Petits Cubes (The house of Small Cubes) yesterday. Joanne highly recommended to watch this film, so I did it! It's only 12 minutes film but this story was very lovely and meant a lot to me. This is about the story of a grandfather's memories as he adds more blocks to his house to stem the flooding waters... Is this story telling us about global warming as well??

It's cold and snowing today but peaceful...

do today but it's really nice idea to go outside before it gets dark...
