Haven't been able to write for weeks. Being involving in handmade industry is very different when comes to having market stall. It is like 2 complete different chapter altogether.
Am not perfect. As mentioned, am better on illustrating my feelings and thoughts instead of words. The lesser time I spent writing blog, the worst my grammar gets (I speak 5 languages and I mixed them up quite often these days). To top it off, I am making an effort speaking my mother language to Peanut ...and am hoping she can make me proud when we are flying home visiting my parents next year :)
As for blogs and creative wise, I tried to deliver as much I can whenever I can. It's not easy for me to pick up my pen and draw like old days or sitting here spending numerous hours browsing at what other talented crafters are doing neither. All this got to do with my baby girl is growing up..she is now 6 months old. She is getting more alert and always on a look for something to do (having her calling out for me while am writing this). She is making me feel so tired by the time she goes to bed at night. So, please forgive me if I sound short (and am getting careless too!) or missing in action getting on with my life. I hope you understand my situation.
I have done something for Peanut using my little illustration.
She seems to like it very much.
Flash Card for Little Ones
I have also spending Q-time story telling to her using my prints.
Flash Card I did for Peanut..
she smile everytime she sees it and wanted to chew it too ;)
She is my mega inspiration. Such amazing creature!
How funny things work out when you have less time being creative but more time to think in your own cave (at your own space). I think I had some sort of breakthrough during this time frame. In terms of how & where I want Missy Minzy to go for the Year 2011. It does not really matter with how many likers I have on FB (in fact am considering to shut down the page) nor in blogging land. Whatever I do and what plan lies beneath..one thing for sure is constantly happy and continue being inspired doing what am doing everyday (be lovely have more sales just so that I can earn those money invested). That is the key. That, should be the motivation.

Firstly I love your work and am planning on buying a few prints next week (the ones featuring mushrooms are my fav!)
Secondly I think most mothers would get where you are coming from in regards to getting the balance right with kids and whatever else is going on in your life (whether it be work, study, exercise...) and how utterly and completely exhausted you can sometimes be that you wonder if your brain is even working anymore (yes, I am a mother of 4!)
Anyway I just wanted to give you some encouragement and le you know I think you are really talented.
You always seem to me to have beautiful fresh artworks on the go all the time - its very inspiring. I think you are doing a great job. And considering you have your little peanut to juggle as well, you are amazing. But you are right FB fans and blog comments are nice, but they are not the true reason why we do what we do. Its for the love of creating and making work we are proud of. Good luck with it all. And don't be too hard on yourself, we are all human.
