ABOUT:
I have a slight obsession with handmade crafts. There is something very satisfying about getting your hands dirty. There's also something satisfying about creating an item for a tenth of the price of what you'd have to pay if you were to buy the same thing in stores. Maybe that's just the Asian in me talking ;)
Here you will find some of the things I've made in my spare time, updated as I finish more projects. I am currently fiddling around with my new Silhouette Cameo and sewing machine. Paper, fabrics, and washi tape are my current materials of choice!
I'm planning on getting a blog up and running about my crafting adventures. One day I hope to sell some of these things... my apartment can only handle so many owls and paper cut cards!
