Dear Mitsy...

Dear Mitsy,

Thank you so much for the wonderful "Happy Package".

This little happy girl greeted me with a smile as I opened up the wrapping and it made me smile as well.
Little did I know that I'd be greeted by many more happy girls!
... plus more beautiful handmade gifts! (felt like Christmas...)

Thank you for your thoughtful letter. I truly appreciate your kindness and your time to have prepared this package for me.

xo, RJ

the four seasons cup set

after much ::trial and errors:: to get the color and quality right, i'm happy to say that...

we finally did it!

thank you for being patient.

more to come,

more to come.

You know it's official when...

Fresh Direct sends you a ::welcoming:: box of chocolates.

hey, i made these!!!

i made these muslin pouches for :something: i'll mention later...

i'm terrible at sewing. easily frustrated with sewing machines. threads always break on me. not to mention the flying needle tips.

HOWEVER, i managed to make 20 of these little pouches and not give up after the first painful attempt! yay! (those of you who make 100s of them in a few hours please feel free to laugh: it took me most of the day to make 20...)

majority of them have a red thread finish. i switched to black thread when the red ran out. i'm glad it did because i love both colors!

the daylight (well, new york daylight: reflection of the sun from building across the street) was over by the time i finished closing the pouches, hence the different lighting on the next shot. (excuses, excuses, excuses...)

::vintage obsession::

as you may have noticed, i've been quite fascinated with vintage wares. to feed my obsession, i've been browsing thru several flea markets, online vintage shops, ebay, etsy....

i've found amazing vintage plates, cups and saucers and couldn't wait to draw on them.

so, for the last couple of days i've been doing so::it's so rewarding to draw on something so beautiful and old. it makes me wonder about the history of it... 

here's my first set of vintage wall plate set.

::look up sometimes::

these sets are one of a kind.

the four seasons

the eggs from ipanema

:them eggs:them cubes:

by raw draw designs

i think these are great and make perfect gifts. you can custom order with whatever you want written on it.

if i'd known about these eggs and/or cubes six months ago i'd suggested it to my best friend. she's getting married soon and these could have been pretty gifts for guests.

papa don't preach

another treasury attempt. i decided i make something dedicated to dads.
