If you don't follow me on Facebook, you should! Not because I post particularly insightful things (perhaps they aren't even insightful or relevant half the time), but because I post most of my updates there. First off, for those of you who don't follow me on social media, I've posted my new obsessions, which include re-watching Arrested Development from the beginning while knitting various things. I suppose it's pretty strange, since the weather has been averaging 80's here in SoCal, but nonetheless, it's a fun craft and I'm glad I found my passion again.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, most of my family is in Canada. My dad also worked in Canada for awhile, but that's a different story. As a child, I'd go to Canada with my dad to play with my cousins during my school breaks. However, the school system is different and sometimes, my cousins would be at school and I'd be stuck at my grandparent's house. My grandpa was in a hospital, so it was just me and my grandma while my dad was at work. One day, she gave me 2 chopsticks and a ball of yarn (mind you I was about 6 years old), and she told me to knit. Actually, she said something in Chinese, and later showed me how to knit. My grandma is no longer here, but I can carry on my knitting craft because of her. God bless her soul.

Here's to knitting once again!

Today marks a day full of mixed emotions in the life of Kelly Law. Today is my second annual last day at Modern Mouse. For those of you who don't know, I started at Modern Mouse as a customer for years, and then in 2012, I was brought on board as a seasonal staff mouse for the holidays. Eventually, upon my return from Irvine, I was able to start up at the Mouse again as an actual sales mouse! During my time here, I was able to start and launch KJLaw Arts and learned so much more about this wonderful store.

If you're ever in the East Bay Area, be sure to check out Modern Mouse for my cards as well as a ton of other goods by local artists, including my fellow mice and some of my favorite artists, Cindy Gieng, Matt Ortega, and Kayla Taron. You can even shop online "in your pajamas" as it says on their site. 

I was given the opportunity to write about many great artists on the MM blog, including my own. Read my Modern Mouse Artist Profile on their website (which, ironically, I wrote myself, heh).

All in all, (all biases aside), it's truly an amazing store and I'm glad I was blessed with such a wonderful job. I love love love my MM family and I'm going to miss everyone soooo much :(

Until next year!
