This week, my city and the neighboring cities experienced another strong earthquake. It’s the second one aside from the several after shocks in between. I get so paranoid everyday. I get confused most of the times if I’m dizzy or there’s another earthquake. Anyway, because of the earthquakes happening in my city, my rhythm got …
Sahin Designs has another collection. It’s called Day Of Thanks, an autumn themed. This was quite challenging for me since we don’t have autumn here in the Philippines nor thanksgiving. But this made me remember my very first autumn, thanksgiving and pumpkin patch in Vancouver few years ago. Now, I’m so glad we had to …
Hi friends. If you’ve been following along on my YouTube channel, first of all, thank you so much. Second, you probably saw that our room is quite a mess. So, last week, we had a little makeover. We removed the big shelf on the wall but it look so ugly after. That’s why we decided …
If last week was slow for me. This week was totally lazy. I wasn’t able to finish much nor filming either. So, this vlog is quite shorter than the usual. I’m still figuring out the layout for my studio and I just ordered my shelves and table. I know. I should have done this weeks …
It was a slow week for me. Was a bit tired and unmotivated. Perhaps also because my allergic rhinitis was triggered most of the days. Anyway, we are still cleaning in the studio. And I’m still not done designing the shelves and tables. I’m such a slow mover, I hate it! Proud to say I’m …
Earlier last week, I got a notification on my Instagram: @iam_artisan that I was tagged in a photo by Sahin Designs. I wasn’t sure what it was because I didn’t get any emails yet (apparently, it went to my spam). I’ve been applying for a creative team since early this year since I was really …
Hi there. It was a great creative week for me. I got a package from Stabilo. Which was so timely because I thought I’d use it for Inktober. Then the Junk Journal group, which I’m part of in the Davao group. Will be celebrating their anniversary with a swap. So, I had to prepare paper …
I think, I’m getting the hang of this studio vlogging. I enjoy the process of filming already plus it’s nice to record how my week went by. For this vlog, I was pretty productive. I think the studio vlogging has motivated me to do something. Either creating a personal project or for the coffee shop. …
Hello lovelies. The past few weeks were quite productive. Perhaps, I have been accepting the fact that I can only do so much. And that I’ll treasure my time with my son rather than thinking of the things I wasn’t able to finish. Last week, if you haven’t read about it yet, I started a …
Here I am again with another review. With a book this time. I used to do this before and called it Wednesday Book Club. Since I have a lot of books, I thought, I’d share some of them in case someone is interested too. You may check the other books here: review. One of my …
If you’ve been following me on Instagram: @iam_artisan, I’ve been sharing my favourite vloggers and podcast shows I love watching to. And for quite some time now, I truly enjoy watching studio vlogs of other artists. I like seeing how other artists work; their daily lives; how they draw and everything else. I guess being …
That private workshop: Abstract Loose Flower Painting For A Private Workshop I had last August ignited my fire again. I was floating and a bit uninspired and unmotivated since I was pregnant but I guess after that opportunity to do a workshop made me feel, it’s time to be back already. After that, I had …
When I found out I was pregnant last year (Journal With Me: Celebrate Love) I was feeling tired most of the time. So, I decided to pause from doing workshops and custom design. Managing the cafe, Yellow Hauz remained though as my main work. After more than a year of hiatus from my creative work …
Every time I throw plastic containers in the trash, I feel really bad. I always think, there are millions of people doing the same thing right now. Even if that’s just 1 piece of plastic per person. Imagine how many plastics already out there. In our coffee shop, Yellow Hauz, we have so many consumables …
Giving names, titles or anything to do with words is something I truly struggle with. From business names, titles, products, craft projects, email addresses to describing what I want to say or express and everything else to do with words. The irony of it? I have a blog! And it’s almost 10 years now. Can …
