Kimchi, and a bit of stitching!

Hello! Good morning!
It's fairly sunny outside today. It looks like a great day to make kimchi! hahaha, yes. I am making kimchi today!! These days we've run out of homemade kimchi so we've been eating storebought kimchi purely out of convenience, but of course homemade kimchi is the best. Weee! I'm so excited! As you know I'm like a kimchi killer and I cannot eat bab without kimchi! hahaha But it's not an ordinary task so I might be knocked out afterwards.

I hope the sunlight lasts so I can take a couple photos here and there.
Our next door neighbors have these really TALL trees that block a lot of sunlight that could have entered our house. Sometimes when the wind blows really hard, I get paranoid that the trees will bend over and topple over our roof and destroy. And I kid you not. One of the trees started tilting a bit and it already pushed the brick wall (that separates the two houses) and it's currently sloping at an angle.

I've also been stitching away with my andwabisabi characters! Here are some pictures:

Yay! 200~

I've reached my 200th sale on etsy today, which I am ecstatic about! It's come a long way since the beginning, it means so much to me because it wasn't a one night wonder and it's something I nurtured with my love and passion for cross stitching. My goal was and still is to introduce the joy of cross-stitching to first timers and renew the love of cross-stitching in oldtimers with simple and friendly imagery.
I thank all my customers for supporting andwabisabi! Thank you so much for all your love! It is because of you I am able to continue to make more new patterns. Please continue to give andwabisabi lots of loving. ^__^

Here is a new custom order I just completed.

Hello! My name is Yammy, nice to meet you! Please stitch me up and take me to your lovely home! I can be found at andwabisabi. I'm sweet and yammy and I hope you think so too!

Got Rice

Today was a great day for me creatively. I've gotten several cs patterns up on andwabisabi

including the steaming rice bowl below. I love rice, I wouldn't be able to survive without it! Okay I admit it... My taste buds are totally Korean, and although I've never lived in Korea, I can't live without my rice and kimchi. When I'm at an restaurant you will probably hear me mutter the words, "it'd be nice if there was kimchi". :D

I need to have bab (rice) and kimchi at least once a day. And although I don't usually eat breakfast, I prefer to eat rice + banchan (side dishes) as the first meal of the day. If I don't get my bab, I feel rather grumpy.

My steaming bowl of rice with green peas. :)

New Dinos

I made some more dino cs patterns which are available at andwabisabi

I've been completing a lot of custom orders lately. The newest addition to andwabisabi is the lovely eiffel tower pattern. I was concerned if I'd be able to achieve a likeness, but after working and reworking it, I've finally achieved what I wanted. :) What do you think?
