Many things in Feb and thought I'd have time to post about them… somehow it's already today. 😆

I'll still be going to vendor events, about 6 events planned this year. Trying to slow down my pace a bit and hope to create more unique stuff along the way~ (last year 2025: 20 events completed🧐)

Back in February, I turned off international shipping on Etsy due to complicated customs rules. And honestly, it feels like a long story in my mind, even though it all actually happened within one week.

I had originally set my shop for tracked international shipping only, which means EXPENSIVE, so I didn't expect many orders from outside the U.S. One day I got an order from South Africa. The customer even upgraded the shipping option, so I thought, hmm she must really like my jewelry and can't wait to receive it :p

After Googling some South Africa shipping cases from other Etsy sellers, I realized… ohhh the post office might not be a good option, and it could take a very long time to deliver. So I asked the customer if she'd prefer using a private carrier like DHL. She agreed.

Then I signed up on a DHL page in German (Deutsch)… only to realize it was for Germany domestic shipping only 😂

Finally I found the correct page, entered all the information, and got the shipping quote: around $200!? (plus another $20-$40 duty due upon delivery)

At that point I was like… !!!?!!

She had ordered one bracelet, and I just don't expect customers to pay a crazy amount for shipping that costs way more than the jewelry itself. So unfortunately I had to cancel the order. It made me feel a little sad… but also thankful that people from so far away found my shop. 🌍✨

Anyway, after taking two international orders (Australia and Canada), we now offer U.S. domestic shipping only. 🥲

I recently started a new hobby: painting

Back in elementary school, I took an art class just a 3-minute walk from home. The only thing I remember clearly is watching cartoons before class (Doraemon at 6 pm, my childhood "nothing else to watch on TV" option). One day we were asked to draw with a blue pen, and I was like, "What?! I need colors!" Not long after, the teacher moved away and my art journey ended there.

Now, because I still love colors, I bought some markers just for fun. Since I always write thank-you cards for online orders, I decided to design my own. So if you ordered recently and saw something a little childish...it wasn't Noo Noo, it was me (only revealing it here 🎨).

Fun (sad for my cousin) story: I used to walk to art class with my cousin, and there was an aggressive dog that always barked at us. One day the dog ran out of the house, my cousin fell and cried, and I ran straight home… sorry, Steven!!!😅🐈

Friday before the snow ❄️

Shipped all orders today due to the upcoming snow. Among the packages, I had a wonderful chance to make a custom order for one of my flower customers. It's actually my first time making matching earrings (thanks for the inspo pics!). I usually make beaded flowers using two lines, but this time, for the earrings, I used just one thread (new technique unlocked!). It ended up looking much more elegant once the set was finished. After taking the photos, I realized the matte beads with dusty overall colors felt especially fitting under today's cloudy sky.

After dropping everything off at USPS, I went for a short walk. The roads hadn't melted yet, and I could feel the ice and surroundings slowly absorbing my energy…which brought back memories of my days in Colorado. Hmmm snowy…still can't quite get used to it

Stay warm, my friends⛄️

Happy (belated) New Year :p
Looking back at 2025, I still feel so grateful for everything I've done, both at local events and online. Thanks to my customers, I was able to prove to myself (YES!! My sense of beauty really exists, and people love my jewelry!!) and also had the chance to create custom orders using my own creativity.

Now stepping into 2026, I've decided to focus even more on my work. I'm satisfied with what I accomplished last year. About 80% of the ideas in my mind were turned into real pieces and listed online. This year, I want to experiment with more materials while keeping things dainty. So I'll probably be sharing more work notes on this page. :)
