Happy mail on the way!

Hii! Just letting you know that your happy mail is on the way to you now :) It also includes the delayed rewards for March patrons.

I will also be sending out all the mug pre-orders, which means I will likely open slots for new pre-orders in May.

Thanks for your patience everyone! <3

Manufacturing - a unique and frustrating experience

I thought that from my previous experience, manufacturing would get easier - but making the new mugs has been a bumpy road.

So far, the new samples don't look very good. There are a lot of issues following the design and getting the color right, s...

Patreon mail update!

Hi all! A quick update - the new bunny stickers came in and look SO good! They fixed the problem with the white outline and the colors have also been adjusted to be more vibrant.

Poll: About podcasts and March's MIA

So for the very first time, I missed making the podcast for the month. Between Easter weekend and celebrating my birthday, I simply forgot. I was out celebrating with my partner and friends, time went by and suddenly it was April 1 - meaning I missed the deadline for the March podcast.

So I want to apologize because it's an exclusive Patre...

April happy mail: Chilling by the pond :D

Is it raining where you are? Cause it's gloomy, rainy and wet here. But I think the ducks are enjoying it at least :D

This month is all about lil ducks by the pond! I will do my best to send the stickers asap, which will also contain the delayed March rewards (which had to be reordered due to quality issues).

New things coming this m...

Delay on happy mail :<

Hi everyone - just an update on the happy mail. The weatherproof & transparent bunny stickers I ordered has a small flaw and needs to be reprinted. A white outline was made around the edges of the artwork which doesn't look very nice on a dark background.

Hopefully the reprint arrives quickly, but I'll likely need to send the bunny sti...

Super sneaky peak! New mugs

I didn't forget about these mugs and have been working silently behind the scenes! After looking at the poll results and doing some design work, this is what will be made into samples.

Cat mug 1 and the fox are more in line with the style of the guinea pig mugs I've already made, and I love the idea of a set. Cat mug 2 is totally new and I...

Strawberry bunny sticker

I think this might be the cutest thing I have ever drawn! I wanted to create something really soft and cute and I think I managed 🥹

This will be this month's matching sticker, and I'll be ordering it this week so I can send your happy mail asap :D Can't wait for you to get it!

Sneak peak - Year of the dragon collection

I've been deep into researching, sketching and designing for my next collection, and I still haven't totally settled on a design yet. If I had all the time in the world, I would make them all! But I have to be realistic because I'm not only limited on time, but also skill.

It's easy to think up these ideas and draw them out, but executing ...

March happy mail - bunnies and berries

In celebration of Easter, March's patreon is all bunnies! It's been a really long time since I've made anything with bunnies and it's about time :) We had a few bunnies when I was growing up and if I had more space, I would definitely get them again ^^

The happy mail this month will include this sticker sheet + something else. What that so...

Podcast: Happy leap year!

Digital download - tiger notepad

Fully embracing the jungle theme with a tiger notepad! I'm a little tempted to make these into actual 50 page notepads for the shop now :o

The full color and printer friendly version are in the same PDF this time so it's all together. Enjoy!

February rewards

The end of the month is sneaking up on me, and despite having an extra day for Leap Year, the month already feels too short for all the things I want to do.

I'm sending out your Patreon rewards this week, a little later than planned and I'm sorry about that 💕 Last week put me in into a bit of a spiral as a bunch of unexpected things hap...

Let's go on an adventure! Potential travel opportunity

Maybe you saw on Instagram, but something exciting could be happening! A company named TrovaTrip reached out to me to host a trip and invite all of you!

The trip could be anywhere and they have so many fun and exciting itineraries to choose from. There's also the possibility of shaping this trip into something more special by putting in so...

Shop re-opened!

The shop is finally re-opened the shop after a long hiatus! I wanted to wait until I finished all of my accounting, but sadly it's taking longer than expected and my bills are not waiting for me :P So I have to re-open the shop.

I've also added a few new spring items including some pins and keychains. I'm in the process of upgrading all my...

Year of the Dragon

Happy year of the Dragon friends! This is one of my favorite and most cherished holidays - it brings me back to the roots of my Chinese heritage and makes me excited about the coming year.

As a second generation Chinese daughter, I sometimes feel a little distant to my own culture. When my parents moved to the US, they tried their best to ...

Poll: What kind of mugs to make next?

Back from holiday and straight into work :) I've been thinking about new designs to make into mugs and have been bouncing around a few ideas.

These would be ones manufactured out of house, like the guinea pig mug. Manufacturing opens up a lot of doors for me to make my work more accessible and also frees up my time to be more creative.

February Patreon - In the Jungle

A new lunar year means trying something new! I've been thinking a lot about how to continue making your monthly happy mail exciting, and while in Asia I've been really inspired by all the cute stationery I've been seeing.

So for the first time, I will be trying out a different format for stickers for the next few months. This ne...

Asia trip update

Hi everyone! I'm in the last week of my Asia trip and I thought I would  have made an update sooner here on Patreon, but it turns out it's really hard to find time to work while on holiday when there are so many things to do and see every day 😅

We've gone to Japan, Taiwan and are now in Hong Kong - and I'm realizing that a week in...

January printable: Notecard set

We just left Japan to go to Taiwan and I'm still thinking about all the cute stationery we saw! They really had absolutely everything you could dream of - stickers, washi tape, every kind of pen you could think of, sticker books, washi tape cutters and so much more.

And yes, I bought a ton of stickers to bring back with me 😄

They ...

Podcast: Asia trip, spring preparations and constant growing pains

A short lil podcast update for this month! It's only been 2 weeks since the last one, so nothing too exciting has been going on. It's really been a lot of planning for our upcoming trip, packing orders and getting everything in order before we leave :)

Happy doggos in the mail!

All Patreon mail has now been sent! The matching postcards turned out sooo cute. I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself for finally drawing some dogs 😅

For anyone who joins after today, I will send your stickers and postcard the first week of February when I return from my holiday :)

Which one is your fave? 🐶

Catching up to slow down

Hi! This is just a general lil update with how things are going over here in my lil studio :) 

I'm currently deep into order packing since re-opening my shop this weekend. I was absolutely blown away by how much love the tea towels and totes got and so happy to also have the mugs out finally.

But it's put me in this unique situa...
