Handmade Mafia will be held at Orange Hall on Nov. 5, which is tomorrow.
I am so glad that the location changed back to Orange Hall again.
I love how it is close to the Farmer's market, and it's nice and cozy.
After all that Halloween stuff is over, people's brains are shifting toward Christmas.
Craft shows are the perfect places to do Christmas shopping : lots of kinds of stores under one roof, you can get one of a kind gifts, no need to worry about presents doubled, and handmade goods make people feel special.
As this year's new creations, I made snood and scoodie.
What are they? You will see at the events ;-)
I will also post some pictures later, but now I have to go back to the sewing machine.
I will be bringing earrings and other stuff too.
See you tomorrow!

More Clay Stuff
I got more clay accessory orders.
I made the earrings a little bit bigger than usual.

| sage green roses |
I always mix colors to make the color I want, but sometimes it takes more time than sculpting, actually making shapes.
Because of this reason, I can't make the same colors but I can try making the closest colors you want.
This time, I think I did very well :)

| hydrangea brooch |
Hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers.
I have three big Hydrangea shrubs in my front yard and they are beautiful.

Clay Accessories
Clay roses are my favorite and so as my customer's but since I have been doing nails these days, making clay accessories with long nails were challenging.
Luckily or not, I broke my right index finger nail so I sculpted clay before I fix my nail.
It's been a while since I made clay accessories so I had fun making them.
As some of you know, I use oven clay, usually called polymer clay.
You shape them and bake them in a oven to harden.
And after you bake them, you decorate however you want them to be.
Here are the finished pieces.

Jinbei again
It took me forever to update this blog as I am so into nails.
I still take some orders and sew stuff here and there.
I made a pair of monkey pants for my friend who was going to attend her friend's baby shower.
And shortly after that, my other friend ordered a set of Jinbei that's also for her friend's baby shower.
It feels really nice when people remember my handmade clothing when they need something unique and special.
Thankfully, I got quite a bit of clay accessories orders, so stay tuned for the next update!

The Charity Bazaar and Handmade
At the last charity bazaar that was held on April 2 at the EJCA was a huge success.
18 of us were participated in this bazaar and raised over $2200!
Some people baked, some handcrafted, some brought clothes, some cooked Japanese food, every one of us contributed a lot for this charity bazaar.
And also, we really appreciate the people who donated money, who donated stuffs to sell at the bazaar, who offered the place for us to have such a successful bazaar, and who came to the EJCA and shopped there.
I really hope this kind of event to be held in the future too.
The raised money and donations were donated to the Japan Red Cross for Earthquake and Tsunami relief in Japan through EJCA.
As for my handmade goes, I am only taking orders right now.
Here are some of the recent orders I've made.
It's almost the time for Jinbei?
My kids are waiting for me to make them Jinbei for this year!
I kind of decided to make at least one pair each for my kids every year so I will definitely make some.
I got to go find some interesting fabric first!
