Chocolate Rain

Chocolate Rain is a local brand. The creator of this famous Hong Kong brand is Prudence Mak.

Her character is called Fatina - the girl with a bob-cut hair.

Since its birth, Chocolate Rain has taken part in top exhibitions in London, Paris, Sydney, etc.

I like her works so much! How do you think??

How to promote on-line shop?

The article below is copied for sharing from :

I am trying hard to start an on-line shop. But it is not very successful yet. I find this article very useful. If you are also trying to start your on-line shop. It may be useful to you.

You are welcome to share any related articles with me and the readers in my Facebook Page:

This is a guest post by one of my students, Joel Cherrico. Joel signed up for my Create A Profitable Online Store course without knowing anything about websites or online stores.

Quite frankly, I’m absolutely amazed at what he’s been able to accomplish so far without any technical knowledge. Here’s his story about how he created an online store selling his own handmade ceramic pottery.


When my Dad first sent me the website MyWifeQuitHerJob.com I was skeptical. I thought it was just another get-rich-quick scheme, but I decided to shoot an e-mail question anyways.

French Knot

If you want to sew small eyes on a doll face, do little flowers, or as a filling stitch to fill in small circles and centre of flowers, you can use French knot.


Please be patient, the video may take a minute to appear.

Stem Stitch

If you want to sew details on a face, e.g. the whiskers of an animal, this stitch can be used.


stem_stitch_1stem_stitch_2
Fig 1: Bring out the thread through A and take it in through B. Take the needle backwards and bring the thread out through C. Make sure the point C lies over the stitch A-B. Fig 2: You need to note that the point C lies about half way through A and B. Also note that C lies on top of the stitch A-B. So, all the subsequent stitch points will lie on top their previous stitch.

Bottle Kids crafts - creative stamp

This kids crafts idea is so creative.

Can't imagine that a plastic bottle can be a stamp.

The flowers are so beautiful!

I think it would be even more beautiful if we use changing color for flowers, say from red to pink, from purple to blue, etc.

(sorry for cannot post the linkage to this, as I found this on FB without linkage provided.)

Anteprima Wirebag Exihibition & Presentation

I read this in a magazine.

I missed the exihibition. If I have time, I must go and have a look.

I heard about wire jewelry for a long time.

But it is the first time that I hear about wirebag. Truly want to have a look in person.
