<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Lunar New Year!!! Gung Hay Fat Chow! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year marks the year of the Horse on the zodiac calendar. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
General characteristics of those born this year are energetic, bright, warm-hearted, kind to others. They like to talk, are entertaining, enjoy large crowds. They never give up and strive to make themselves better. They are independent thinkers and carve their own paths in life. </div>
<br />
Our family celebrates the new year with a hearty gathering: an exchange of red envelopes, a traditional 8 course meal and just a basic good time. Our Mom preps all day and all night! Sometimes for weeks. Trust me, she wouldn't have it any other way. Each dish is symbolic. Every family has their stand-bys. <br />
<br />
Ours include: <br />
1. Chicken: Health and Family Togetherness (served whole)<br />
2. Noodles: Long Life (served uncut)<br />
3. Eggs: Fertility (our fam likes century eggs)<br />
4. Fish: Prosperity / Abundance (another item served whole!)<br />
5. Seeds: Wealth (this is served in a soup, along with water chestnut: symbolizing unity / wood ear: longevity / black moss: wealth)<br />
6. Shrimp: Liveliness <br />
7. Lettuce: Prosperity (we eat this with a filling for a lettuce roll. the filling also has oysters : good fortune and good luck <br />
8. Sweet Cake: the sweetness to symbolize a rich, sweet life; while the rise of the cake is for "rising" prosperity for the new year. Served in a round shape to symbolize a cohesive family. It's a good way to "sweeten" the New Year. <br />
<br />
Just listing these items leaves my mouth watering!<br />

A couple weeks ago, Sis and I got to go to CHA Mega Show 2014, in Anaheim Ca. <br />
<br />
I gotta say, It was a TON of fun! All craft genres were represented: beading, jewelry making, paper, printing (both 2-d and 3-d), stamping, needleworks, yarn crafts. Basically, you name it, they had a booth for it. <br />
<br />
There was a lot of emphasis on mixed media: companies really trying to appeal to alternative or unconventional uses to their products. There were a lot of Make and Takes. Fantastic opportunity for all in the crafting world to see what is new and emerging.<br />
<br />
It was a whirlwind; but here are some highlights. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Let's just start by saying that I'm a bit OCD with calendars and lists. I have them everywhere, which can be a good and bad thing. A bit of an organized chaos. <br />
<br />
January is best time to get organized and start to year off on the right foot. <br />
<br />
Everyone's taste is different and with that in mind, here are some free printable 2014 monthly, daily and weekly calendars from around the web. <br />

December has been a whirlwind and it's not over yet. One more week till Christmas!!!<br />
As I type, I have more boot cuffs and scarves to crochet. <br />
<br />
We have one last holiday show this weekend @ the <a href="http://dtflea.com/">Downtown Flea</a> in downtown LA. If you haven't been downtown in awhile, it's the perfect time to go. With so many new eateries opening up, you can have brunch and shop for the holidays. Perfect! <br />

With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just around the corner, I really have to get started on my <br />
shopping list, while still doing our shows!<br />
<br />
Enter Patchwork Santa Ana. <br />
<br />

Earlier this week, sis and I were walking around in the Bay Area after Patchwork Oakland. We were surprised with the number of people out and about. Even @ 10am! Didn't people have to work?! Let's not even get started on the traffic! Although, we have to admit that flip flop weather in November is Awesome! <br />
<br />
The holidays just crept up on us! We've been so involved in getting ready for all the holiday shows that we lost track! <br />
<br />
Well, before it gets REALLY CRAZY, we just wanted to take a minute to reflect and give thanks. <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving! <br />
<br />

Happy October everyone! Although it's 80 degrees today in Southern California, the pumpkin patches are officially open. We love all things pumpkin: pumpkin carving, pumpkin eating, even pumpkin pasta making! But 1st, we have to go pick out our pumpkin. So, how are you going to decorate your pumpkin this year? We're still thinking about ours. Hmmm.... Ideas?<br />
<br />
BTW, for those of you in the Southern California area this weekend, we'll be vending @ the 1st ever <a href="http://patchworkshow.com/craft-fair-locations/costa-mesa-food-events-edible-edition/">Patchwork Show Edible Edition</a> in SOCO located off the 405 in Costa Mesa.<br />

September and Labor Day are just around the corner! It been so mild in July and Aug that I'm kinda scared of what Sept will bring. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To prepare, I'm stocking up on some HOMEMADE ice cream. Nothing cools me down faster! Except maybe a dunk in the pool. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love <a href="http://hallojak88.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html">ice cream</a> and it's fun making your own. I start off with an <a href="http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Jenis-Ice-Cream-Base">ice cream base</a> from <a href="http://www.jenis.com/">Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream</a>. If you haven't tasted her flavors, you are missing out! Her secret ingredient.... Cream Cheese! Her base has no eggs so no worrying about cooking it and ending up with lumps. Also perfect for vegetarians. </div>

<br />
The dessert is our next destination. Since we're gonna be on the road for 5 hours (each way), I've been collecting ideas (via <a href="http://pinterest.com/hallojak/travel-crafts/">Pinterest</a>, of course!) on how to keep my hands busy with something creative and pretty. <br />
<br />
Top 5 (so far) are: <br />

no tutorial on this one, but it looks like a series of increasing dc's. <br />

How did we get to August already?! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A couple months ago (like in June!) , we got the opportunity to participate in <a href="http://lafoodswap.com/">LA Food Swap</a> held @ <a href="http://poketo.com/">Poketo</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fun times! A great venue and a great event @ the same time! Sign me up!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, the venue. <a href="http://poketo.com/">Poketo</a> is just plain fun! Their flagship store in the bustling fringes of Japantown in LA is stocked with highly curated, beautiful, handmade, practical pieces. They really support local artisans and their crafts. You will definitely find something here that you can't live without. If your more of a DIY-er, they have a diverse list of classes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, for the <a href="http://lafoodswap.com/">Food Swap</a>. The main concept of the food swap is to SHARE and build a sense of community. Just one main rule: you have to have made, foraged, or grown the items that you are trading. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Our grown item of choice: Kumquats. Out trees were bursting @ the seams and we can only eat, candy, and bake so much. We'll share!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were lots of items to choose from and trade for: honey, fresh eggs, veggies, jams, jellies, kombucha, chili oil, granola, breads, cookies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The swap is approx. 2 hrs and broken down to a couple of parts: setup, tasting, deciding which items you want to swap for, making offers (this is when it becomes a little frenzied since everyone is running around trying to get what they want and hoping that their trade will be accepted), packing up and clean up. </div>

I've had an busy last couple of days and woke up TIRED this morning. Let's just say that the coffee maker and I are sharing a strong kinship today. <br />
<br />
Wanted to share <a href="http://sarahlondon.wordpress.com/">Sarah London</a>'s great blog! She has FREE granny square patterns every Monday. It's my perfect way to start out the week! Crochet Talk is perfect for any crochet-er. She goes over the different components of crochet; ie stitches, terminology, etc. <br />
<br />
Check out the <a href="http://sarahlondon.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/commemorative-crocheted-crown/">darling crown</a> she made to commemorate the birth of Prince George Alexander Louis! <br />
Adorable!<br />

This post is a day late. But hey, better late than never! WIP Thursday?!<br />
<br />
With the warm weather slowly creeping in, I find myself slowing down, sitting down and doing more stuff indoors. Not to say that the yard is getting neglected. More work is ahead on that project.<br />
<br />
But so far, this is the result... with more to come. <br />

What is it? It's a one day global celebration of meeting and making. People come together and share their talents, skills and get some food and drink on at the same time. Honestly, it's a good excuse to party!!<br />
<br />
This year's OC event was held @ <a href="http://creative-outlet-studios.myshopify.com/">Creative Outlet Studios</a> in Costa Mesa. Along with <a href="http://academyofhandmade.com/">Academy of Handmade Artists and Supporters</a>, they put together the perfect party!<br />
<br />
Here's some highlights and hopefully, some inspirations:<br />

Summer is just one day away, officially. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

The temps here in Southern California definitely reflect the season! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summer cocktails, BBQ's, ice cream, and outdoor gatherings are all in our immediate future. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To help prepare, here are 5 ideas and links for party invitations and decorations!</div>

I love the vibe and energy in Nor Cal! <br />
<br />
While up there, I went with my booth mate, Gloria of <a href="http://www.foeindustries.biz/">FOE Industries</a>, along with her sweet cousin Angela, to the <a href="http://www.waltdisney.org/">Walt Disney Family Museum</a> located within a beautiful brick building, former Army barracks, in San Francisco's Presidio. <br />

<br />
This museum is dedicated to Walt Disney, his life and how his ideas came to be. It's a really intimate experience to be able to see Mr. Disney's life from childhood, to his joining the American Ambulance Corps, and his career development.<br />
<br />
The museum is separated into particular timelines of his life: childhood, Hollywood (featuring the earliest known Mickey Mouse drawings), the creation of Disney Studios, the move from short film to features (such as Snow White, Bambi and a personal favorite of mine, Fantasia) and then to military training films. After the war, Disney Studios went into a rebuilding period (Peter Pan, Cinderella, Alice In Wonderland and Lady and the Tramp). <br />

The museum has Mr Disney's scale model locomotive, along with a model of Disneyland and his ideas for EPCOT. As you walk thru the museum, you notice and realize his inspiration for Disneyland's rides and attractions. <br />
<br />
I love how interactive and visually stimulating this museum is. Plus, it has some great viewpoints of the Golden Gate Bridge.<br />

This weather makes one LAZY ... and it's a great excuse to go out to eat.<br />
<br />
Gotta escape the heat of the house somehow!!!! (otherwise, our electricity bill will be astronomical!)<br />
<br />
In Asia, where the heat and humidity are constant factors, the evenings are spent trolling the night markets. Literally, everyone comes one! There's food, drinks, games and stuff to buy of all kinds. It's like an outdoor mall; but instead of stores, there are stalls. The sounds are loud and the smell of street food will be calling to you.<br />
<br />
Some of the best,<br />
