For those of you who don't know, I finished up finals and my last classes at UCI and I moved back to the Bay Area. It's been an exciting journey to say the least -- I quit my job at the gym & started a new one, added more cards to Modern Mouse and I've been starting more and more projects to keep me busy since this is the first time in my life where I'm not in school and stuck behind a text book (well, for 2 more months at least... heh, I must be addicted to school).

I definitely do miss everyone in SoCal and I miss the food... a lot, but all in all, I'm enjoying spending time with my parents, dog, and doing a lot of DIY stuff. I'll write another blog post to tell you what I'm doing with that.

Here's a little picture recap of what I've been doing up here for the past few weeks:

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!

Good evening internet friends!
As many of you know (or could read down below), I left the Mouse a few days ago to go back to school to pursue my degree in Public Health at the University of California, Irvine (boy, does that sound formal when you type the full name out). Last time I was in Irvine was about 6 months ago. I'd put my art on hold (with the exception of sorority gifts, a paddle for my bigs, gifts for my littles, and random painted wood things), but this time, I'm not planning on giving up my art. I've even enrolled in my FIRST art class of my college career!

Anyway, yesterday morning I left the Bay Area to drive the tedious 7 hour trip down here. I'm blessed to have had my mom drive with me, because if I were alone, I'd probably have fallen asleep. Finally, we got to Irvine and filled our tummies with California Fish Grill! For those of you who have never had their fish tacos, you're missing out... big time. We then moved my plastic tote, hamper, suitcase, and train case into my new room! How exciting! After organizing, taking things out, putting things away, and settling down, we decided to treat ourselves to Bruxies -- again, if you've never had it, you need to if you're ever in SoCal. Eventually, I had to take my mom to the airport, had to say our goodbyes (I hate saying goodbye ):), and off I went back to my new house. 

Then, I reunited with my best friends & enjoyed spending time with them.

So, what does this mean for KJLaw Arts? Well, my cards are still at Modern Mouse, so pick one (or 10) up there in good ol' Alameda. I'm going to work on an online store for all of my fans in places not around Alameda... anddddd, my lovely other half blessed me with Photoshop (and renewed my Disneyland pass -- heh), so I'll continue to create new cards and things while here for the next 10.5 weeks.
