Thank you all for the heart-warming comments and support! I was not really that depressed to have disappeared for so long. It’s just because of two conference trips+unexpected illness–I am still recovering….

I have been thinking to make one of these since I saw mizusugi’s ribbon ornaments. J and I had a discussion about how hers should be made and came to a conclusion that it must be made up of several small identical parts to be stringed together into a ball.
I was rather expecting something made by sort of weaving and insertion. After many messy experiments, I finally came up with a star that doesn’t look too bad. The paper strips were still from the same magazine as the crab and the basket set. I think it can make great accessories as Francesca’s.
Always amazed by someone

No wonder Flickr is a place full of inspirations and I am never tired of being amazed. Here are some great projects I collected recently from Flickr.
Oh, Crab!

I was in the kitchen when Mr Y came back from work yesterday evening. As Mandarin is the “official” language in our apartment, I was a little surprise to hear Mr Y’s first words were in English: “oh, crap!” I rushed out of the kitchen to see what’s wrong and soon realized what he said was “oh, crab!” because he saw the crab I made during the day occupying the place for his laptop.
Walilie! They look like brothers

Even though it has been in the weather forecast, I still couldn’t believe my eye this morning. It is SNOWING!

And….when I arrived in France this afternoon, it’s sunny…….

Recall my post from last year. I only realize it’s been the time for Moscow Fair again until I found many new pictures and photo albums showing up here and there.

Trying to catch up
March 8, 2008 at 10:30 pm | In Craft - Inspirations, Craft - People, Craft - Websites | No CommentsI didn’t have much chances to get online during the vacation. Even when there is an internet access, many craft websites, including my own blog, are not accessible from China, not to mention the lags. I simply gave up my daily online reading in the first week. Accordingly, there are hundreds of unread blog posts when I came back. It took me quite a while to scan through them. Regardless of the boring “voluntine’s” projects, there are definitely something interesting I have missed. Here are some:
