The storm hit Toronto AGAIN!!!
gosh what's going on?? :(
I hate too much snow...

After a battle-like week, finally I have a little break, I can finally sit down and make my babies...
look at my messy messy work station (dinning table)!!


I have been working on several projects...
my bubble pet series and easter goodies...


Usually I don't like to stick with one project,
Sometimes I have too many ideas then I like to work on several projects at the same time.
Kinda funny eh? :P


Play around with my camera when I'm bored.
This little light is from Ikea...I have all 3 of them...sooo cute :D


Finally it's done!
My easter baby chick :D perfect hanging toy for Easter!
