thank you Jaclyn :) March 8, 2007

just wanna say a big thank you to Jaclyn for giving us a small feature on the latest fashion read Kate magazine, a cutely sized magazine that’s easy to carry around! i really dig mags this size btw. it gets dog-eared less easily in my huge (and usually messy) tote bag.

thanks for popping by MAAD last weekend and picking up Kissy Kisses! as a memoir for Kissy Kisses, now renamed CLOWN under its new owner 🙂 here’s its picture again:

glad it made it to a good new home! and here’s us being covered in Kate. whoopee!

enqi’s 2004 birthday present March 1, 2007

in the formative years of maki squarepatch, xin was already brewing up a mini storm in her little room/craft studio/drawing room. i was given this for my birthday 3 years ago, safety pinned birthday note intact and all. still, i can’t quite figure out what creature it is. is it a penguin? i dunno, it’s too cute anyway and i still adore it lots. thanks xin! it’s wonderful to have a craftster for a sister! 😀

on second thoughts…a penguin with batik diapers?

reminiscing on a rainy day,

we’re covered in CLEO! February 16, 2007

we got covered in the march issue of CLEO! wheee!!!! happy happy glee and joy. our cute and famous teddy bag (its owner, rage, lovingly names him charley) is on it along with ayako’s (owner) wee blue bird bag! i was a little hesitant on buying it cos it’s THE eligible bachelor issue and i’ve never been a big fan of how men are sold by the pounds of flesh they possess so my excuse was…it’s for our little blurb! 🙂

i also realised that i know this guy out of the 50. but due to some super embarassing story that i shall just keep it hush about, i doubt he’ll wanna acknowledge that he knows me 🙂

if you’re a fan of the whole eligible bachelor thingmajit, grab a copy. if you’re a fan of maki stuff, grab a copy too! 😀

mucho thanks to Eunice and Oriental Rose for letting us know that we got covered!
