Friends Forever~


2010
08.20

Two great things happend on the days leading to my birthday, I found my best friend in Grade School, Angel.

We were best friends from the time we met in Grade 7 until all the way to High School graduation. I guess that time after graduation, I have not confirmed which college to choose and also I have an ice skating competition coming up in Cebu, my mind was pretty occupied and never thought of getting her contact. Email wasn’t that common that time and there was no cellphone yet! Wow..I can’t still believe the time we did not have cellphone, it sounds so ancient!

On 2002, I was working part time in Sykes and our group need to hire a new Mandarin-English agent and when my supervisor told me about our new agent.. I was just shock.. The way she describe it sounds like Angel but I could be wrong, yet all the details fit.. So I was having my fingers crossed that it was indeed her. It was and could you imagine us screeming our heads off and my supervisor was like “oh man!” hahhaa…

Destiny really is funny at times. We have to say good bye after working for almost a year together because our account was closing. She decided that time to move back to Taiwan but since I had Carl that time, I stayed. Absent minded, I did not get her email!

Now, 2010, we met again!!!! We are really destined to be together~ hahaa.. I try looking for her around early last year in facebook but couldn’t find her. This year, one of our old alumni added me and message me. I thought he was Robbie from my college, but later realized he was from my old alumni.  During one of our conversations, I don’t know what made me ask,but I did. I mentioned to him that I was looking for Angel. He told me that Angel is in one of his contact… And the rest is history~

From Angel’s side, she told me that Don just added her lately and it’s one of the greatest gift I ever got. Thank you Don if your reading this!

Stay or Go

Last week was a pretty low time for me because of some concerns, my manager and I got to a pretty big argument and his comment really hurt me. But ironically, that was the day Angel contact me. It’s like God’s answer to my prayer? Is she there to guide me and remind me not to think too much.

But there were some other reasons why I wanted to leave which are more personal. I don’t know if at times I can anymore separate my mind and heart in dealing with it. I know what is right thing to do for the sake of work, but, at times it just hurt too much.. wish life comes with a book we can peek at times what we are suppose to do to have an happy ending =p hehe

Great Surprise

My order from States arrived… want to know what’s written at the back?

secret! ;)

Love, Do you remember?

I got a great suprise on my birthday even if my friend did not realized it was my birthday! He sure got great timing~

I love Macross and as a kid,I have watch it and listened to Lyn Minmay from this series. Her voice sounds so sweet and really soothing for me maybe because of so many old fund memories.. When you have nothing to worry except making sure you pass school? No responsibilities..

I will surely treasure this an another suprise that was send with it. Simpson key chain hahah I love Bart Simpson because he is so naughty and daring. I can never be like that =p

Lately I have seen some great artist and did antique style and I was fortunate to purchase great antique looking fabrics..

Here is my new bear who I name Liz but she just need some more polishing! Maybe few hairs gone here and there… but here is a little peek~

Photo with: Iphone – Lomo format

I use my iphone to photo this so that I can use a special program that allows me to edit my photo and give it a lomo finish… Unfortunately I wish settings or software I use! hahah…

This is abit closer to her actual color. Her color is like peachy and she is a shy girl. I finished her on August 15 in time for Chinese Valentine Day.

She would like to ask her special guy to a date and her hands are hidden behind her back because she is nervous. She have a white iris to give her more cutey look and a very small pink nose. ” Would you be my amour?”

I will be posting her soon on etsy so please stay tuned..

Another photo using iphone software.. just playing around with my phone after all, I did invest in this little luxury~

Please mail me ming@ourblueiguana.com if your interested

Payment: Paypal / Bank transfer (taiwan)

Note: I accept lay-away plan for up to 2 months but a down of 20% need to be pay upon reservation.

Please meet my new bear Savannah

I name her from the heroine of  “Dear John ” by Nicholas sparks.. I know the story is kinda sad but my Savannah is different.. you familiar with the song of “tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree”? alot of meaning in that song.. well, that’s why she have a yellow ribbon too… she is lacking a yellow ribbon so yet to put it on her =p

Savannah loves to collect stamps and received mails from all over the world. She gets excited when there are packages or mail address to her.. She keep some of her favorite postcards on her mailman’s bag~

Savannah here convinced me to take her photo with a promise of giving me one of her collection post cards~

More photo’s coming soon….

Miyuki


2010
03.24

This is my first try at antique Bear… the pattern is from”hugmebear” and I love her hand dyed fabrics.

Miyuki is one of my favorite names because I feel I can relate to Miyuki from the anime series “You’re Under Arrest”. Of course I wish I got her figure! hehehe… and that cool bike!

I added the rose made by Vivianne. I choose the color red because that is “caddie” favorite color~ I am constantly reminded of him…

The color is abit off in this image, but I want to brag about the little tote bag! Isn’t it adorable?! hahaha I made this smaller version before my own! It was more fun and my teacher can’t stop telling her other students about my “beary tote bag”.

Bon Voyage mon amour~

Happy Chinese New Year


2010
02.10

Lately been so busy with preparation for the Chinese New Year which start midnight of Feb 13~Feb 21. It would be a long break and I’m still awaiting for my kit to arrived from ViVianne of Galli Bear Collection. I have never try the “antique” look and im itching to try it… Here is the bear I’m suppose to make and his name is Chopper.

I have finished a panda bear but still haven’t finish it’s accessories.. She wanted a bag and I’m not quite finish with her bag. She is quite anxious actually to show her face… so I will give more peek to how she look like..  

For those who know me, I love purple and this was a wonderful fabric to really work with.. I’m just sad I’m left with not much of this mohair… and doubt I can get this mohair again! =(

I have been practicing on my sewing machine and compare to previous, my sewing did improve. Not fully perfect, but at least better corners~ =D This is what we called persimmon. It’s a fruit that usually found during Chinese New Year season. It’s kind of cute. On the photo, you will see it like a pouch. But do you know, when you turn this thing inside out, it can hold candies? or small items that your heart desire.

I have made it pink to have a variety of colors and it looks kind of pretty =D I have send these two to my friend and need to work on the rest and have it posted out by tom! Yikes, I’m running late!!!! But I do enjoy making it.

For the past few months work have been so hectic that I wasn’t able to blog, email, or make anything interesting but I’m glad we hit the sales target for this year so it might be smooth sailing until December where I need to worry about new clients….

I’m slowly one step at a time moving on with my life and for the first time in few years, I somehow felt happy yet sad for what I have lost… But I’m still glad I still got the best of friend in the whole world who I know would be there for me when I needed him…. His such a great person and we have made a hard decisions which would be best for us both… No hard feelings because there is a saying ” it’s better to have love than not to love at all”…

First thing aside from getting work abit settle, it’s myself. I never realized how much I have gained all through these years. At times I may look just like my weight, at times I dont.. so it’s time to move my ass (literally) and working out isn’t much fun without someone there beside you to encourage you, but I got my ipod touch to keep me going… My legs hurts from all those workout yesterday and cant believe I get out of breath so fast! Is it old age or I’m really out of shape? hmmm Yes, I know im really out of shape, but this feeling so faint after doing treadmill for like 20mins, is it really age?

I’m also working on a anime bunnie for my friend birthday and dont know if my friend will like it…. I think it looks just ok… I’m not done with the hat yet but after working hard on the head and all, I think it’s coming around…. Jenny is really such a blessing.. she answers my doubt on my choice of fabric.. Since it’s a gift, I just need to play it safe… fingers cross and hope to get it done by Wed…  and soon, one by one, I just might finish my on hold “unfinished projects” and you can never guess like how many are they! Too many to name hehehe… well, those projects sure keep me occupied…

I’m still undecided if I would add a blush or not…. will see when I cross that bridge…. well, off to cook dinner =D

I just feel in love with her… But when I read about it and went to check on her site, I was too late…. sigh… Claudine really did make me forget my stress abit =p and when I got home, looking at Rosie Belle so pink and lovely does make me smile…

For those who were not able to see her, I have posted it here…. She really is lovely… make my heart sing! Literally lol….

Next week is Easter and one of my favorite holiday but unfortunately in Taiwan, this is not a Catholic country so there is no such holiday… sigh… 下星期是復活節和我的一個喜愛的假日,但是不幸地在臺灣,這不是一個寬容國家那么那裡是沒有這樣假日…嘆氣…

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to hunt Easter Eggs and I know I did it once but it was not easter hehhee =p Ok, someday! I will ask my bf to make one for me…自那以后我可以記住,我有總是想尋找复活节彩蛋,并且我知道我曾经做了它,但是它不是復活節hehhee =p Ok,某天! 我將要求我的男朋友做一我的…

It’s been some time since I last drop by Jenny Loves Benny website and I dont know why, but that day, I felt I should.. And so I did, gosh, I saw Rosy Belle and fell in love with her! I think Jenny just had her listed and I emailed her at once that I want Rosy Belle. Such a pretty name as well… Below is her picture… 是不少时间,因为由詹妮網站的I前下落和我不知道,但是那天,我為什麼感到我應該。 并且我如此,哎呀,我看見了玫瑰色佳麗并且愛上了她! 我認為让她列出詹妮,并且我立即給她發電子郵件我想要玫瑰色佳麗。 這樣一個俏麗的名字… 下面她的圖片…
