Sun Pattern Kid Keds

Sorry guys, haven't update the blog or post any new products for a while. We are trying to put our illustration portfolio together so that we can bid some jobs.

Anyway, just created a new pair of kid keds. I don't have the link to the product page yet but here is the pic:


Anyway, I have been quite busy lately working on my husband's band. They have been playing on thestage.tv pretty regularly and making a very good progress. You can check them out at http://www.sektauband.com.

I just hope I have all the time I needed. Just thinking about my dream last night while I am typing just now. I had a dreamt last night that I was told praying did work. So I prayed in my dreamt that we would have the money that we need. Then suddenly, tons and tons of money raining from the sky!

I was crazily gathering all the cash on the group and told others that I was rich then I woke up. Well, what a dream. Will this dream ever come true??

LOL!

Simple Tank Pattern Shoes for kids

Well, I am kind of tired right now and really need to go to bed. I still need to go take a shower. It's been crazily busy at work this week that I am just simply burnt out. Anyway, I just wanted to say Happy Mid Autumn Festival! Don't know what that is? Go look it up. It's a really big thing for Chinese, almost like Christmas for Americans.

Green leaves mouspad

I am not sure if a lot of people in America do that or just the people I know here in America do it. Do what? Well, people here like to use paper plates and cups at all time even at home. I thought it was kind of a waste. I don't know I certainly don't do that. I meant unless we are outdoor. We seldom use paper plate and cup. Anyway, I think we should really think green. We see the advertisement all the time that we need to use less paper. I guess school or publisher really should start thinking about e-book. 

In Hong Kong, students need to bring their own books start from kindergarten. Books are really heavy and expensive. I meant really if every student only need to buy an Amazon kindle or an ipad when they first start school it will actually be a lot cheaper than to buy books for all the years. Also it is a lot lighter for students to carry their school bags. 

I hope you enjoy this green leaves mousepad while we can still see some green!

First of all, it's my birthday today! Well, I know it's nothing special about that. I am just an ordinary person.
Anyway, we celebrated my birthday yesterday because my husband had band's practice tonight and they were trying to do a live show on thestage.tv and I really wanted them to do it so I went with him to practice and helped them set up the sound and everything. Well I know nothing about setting up sound I just helped by clicking some buttons. I think they did pretty good. Do you want to see the performance?  I will show you right after this new star pattern keds shoes for kids.

Ok, it smoothes out the dirt for stuff like roads building.  I guess we need a grader in life to smooth out our road right now. We certainly are going through some tough time right now and hopefully soon our roads would be smoother.

3D Flower

It's kind of boring at work. Sometime I just wonder when I would be out of this kind of routine: going to work, come home, have dinner and work some more.

I really would like to be my own boss soon. I am really tired of a regular job that doesn't give you benefit and you can't take a day off just because you are bored or sick of work.

I think 1 thing I really like being my own boss is that I can work whenever I want and how ever long I want. Well, I meant at least for this zazzle business I can pretty much have control of everything. That's the one reason that we want this to work. Also, we can work wherever we want to. We can be taking a vacation and still work at the same time as long as we have our laptops.

Anyway, I hope the day come soon before I go insane........haha, I don't think I would but I would really appreciate that the day come a lot sooner.

The design I am showing you today was finished for quite a long time and I am just now getting around to post it on our store.  My personal favorite for this design is the necktie. I just think it look really cool.

M4-A2 Sherman Tank

Well you are probably getting bored of the heavy equipment series so let's take a break from that today. Today, I am going to introduce you our newest illustration : M4-82 Sherman Tank.


One of the most recognized tanks of WWII, The Sherman tank, used throughout the second world war, and the war in Korea by the US Army and Marine corps. it saw action in many theaters during these wars including all of Europe,The Japanese held islands including Okinawa, Saipan and Tinian,etc. and was a very reliable tank, although under armored, and undergunned when facing the german armor. However, against the Japanese tanks like the Ha Go tank, the Chi Ha and others the Sherman did very well and dominated them on the battlefield.

Track hoe Kids Shirt

Ok, Happy Labor Day?! I guess! Anyway, what did you do for your holiday. We as usually don't have anything fun to do so we were looking to buy a car because our car have been having some problems and my husband is sick of fixing it. We went to a car place today and told them that we were interested in one of their car. They made us wait there more than 10 mins and finally the manager(owner, don't really who he was) came out and told us to come on back. I thought that was wired, we were supposed to look at the car. So after we went into his office, he asked us what he can do for us. So we told them that we are interested in one of their car. He asked us how much can we put down. My husband said that we are going to pay cash. He said I don't sell anything cash then told us about the down payment and monthly payment blah blah blah . I meant, first of all, we haven't even really look at the car yet not to say test drive. 2nd of all, they won't accept cash was really wired to me. After he said how much the down payment is going to be we instantly just walk away. We just felt like he was trying to scam people in paying really high interest rate so that he can make more money because he did in house financing. 

Anyhow, this is our labor day fun. Here is the 3rd design of our new cartoony heavy equipment series:

So I had to change it

I showed my husband the bumper sticker I made and he said I should say
Forklift Bumper Sticker bumpersticker

So there I changed it!

By the way, let me tell you about my driving. I actually got the learner permit last year and it is going to be expired in 2 weeks but I don't think I can really drive just yet. I need more practice. I can't remember if I had blog about it or not but one time when I was practicing parallel parking, I bumped into his truck.........

I am not good at driving at all. I wish I didn't need to learn how to drive but what choice do I have?!

New cute and cartoony heavy equipment series

As I said yesterday, there are tones of new designs for me to post for our store. Therefore I am going to start with the heavy equipment series. The first one is this cute forklift illustration:

We think this design quite fit the baby creeper, what do you think?

All the keywords are fixed!!

Finally done with fixing all the keywords.

Time for me to start my marketing plan. I wish I have more time to put into our business. Sometime I just feel so tired after work I just don't want to touch our store but I know that if I don't put in any work I wouldn't see the result I want.

We made some sales lately and it really did motivate me quite a bit. It's hard to work on something that you will never see the result. I hope I can keep up the momentum and do what I need to do even tho it's hard and tiring.

Anyway, my husband said that he has more than 20 new designs waiting for me to put up to the store so hopefully I will get around to it tomorrow.

I don't think I have shown you this:

Saturday, August 28, 2010

Yeah!!

Believe it or not! Our website is done! Next step is to fix the keywords on our products. It should be pretty quick.

We are going to designs some skateboards and hopefully they will be up for sale soon. I can't wait to show them to you!

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

I am trying to get the website done so if you are visiting and see something isn't working, please excuse us. It will be done soon. I promise.

man, I am so tired!

Oh man, I am so tired right now. I was trying to work on my store but my brain just wasn't working. I kind of got a side job and I have been working all day long today and today is Saturday which usually is my day off!

Anyway, I just have so much to do and not enough time. I really need to get our products more popular, I did tried a few things but they don't really work. I guess I wasn't consistence enough, I don't know. It's  hard to continue on something while you don't really see any results. However, I should tried some of those method again maybe this time I will used them a little longer.

Oh man, I am just tired right now.

Here is my to do list:

  • post products on store
  • change keyword, description on products
  • update blogs
  • update facebook
  • make videos
  • active in youtube
  • active in blog catalog
  • link review, referal
  • and some other things for my husband band
on top on that, I need to go to work everyday. 24 hours a day isn't enough!

I haven't make any videos for more than 2 weeks because I am just so tired and I am not about to scare anyone by my tired look!

Hopefully, I will be able to get to it soon!

We will have some Keds Shoes soon!

I am at work right now(again!) so I can't post them yet but my husband has created some patterns for the Keds Shoes, hopefully, they will turn out good. Can't wait to see them!

It's so crazy this morning, I am only at work for 2 hours but I am so stressed already because there are so many crazy things going on...................man, I can't take it anymore.

Sorry!

just a little thought while at work

We finally watched inception. I didn't know what to expect before we went because I just kept hearing people say that it was a good show. I didn't really know what it was about.

I liked it even tho as usual I didn't really understand some of the parts. I think I would watched it again!

Anyways, things have been crazy lately. We tried to reorganize our zazzle store and website. I am no website designer so every time I needed to change something I needed to search hours on end to figure out how to work things out. Also, we decided to focus on our zazzle store, hopefully, we will have more products up soon. We once thought that we would only sell mousepads(they are the most popular products so far). However, after looking over the zazzle forum and other people posts that I found more products you have, more products you will sell. Therefore, we are going to try to have more diversity.

I am at work right now and I wish I can get out of here soon but right now, I need to get back to work........................ :(

A little update

Wow, I almost havent update for 2 months. We have been trying to change how our store and website looks. We finally settled on this. We were trying to us webs.com but I found it kind of hard to use. You can't really change the pic side and stuff. I don't know maybe I was just being stupid. There are still a lot of work to do on this site.....I wish I had more time. Going to work and doing your own business is hard. I just went on the zazzle forum and saw someone posted that they quitted their job because of her zazzle business.  I wish I can say that too soon!

Tsui Sing Lau Pagoda

Well, I haven't update this blog for a while as I was addicted to the HK TVB Dramas. I watched them day and night and had no mood to other things else. haha. Well, I just felt like I needed a break and tried to think about something through so that I can make this business works better.

I have been thinking and have been reading through my emails(most of them are junks...) and found that a lot of people offer you some kind of method that would get you real visitors or make tones of money blah blah blah. I think if it really that easy to make that much money, everyone had became a millionaire already. I meant every one wants to make more money but we just need to be careful not to fall into those traps.

Anyway, The Tsui Sing Lau Pagoda is the last standing pagoda in Hong Kong, it's about 600 years old. When my husband and I went to Hong Kong, we were able to pay it a visit. It is actually quite close to my parents' home. I went there a couple time already, they have a heritage trail but we didn't have time to walk through it. May be next time we go. You can read about it here: Ping Shan Heritage Trail.

Mother's day thought

It was mother's day yesterday. What did you get your mother? My mom is in Hong Kong and I haven't spend mother's day with her for the last 4 years. I bought my mom some chocolate and some body gel, it was nothing and I couldn't afford to give her anything more. My aunt was here for my cousin so I gave the gifts to my aunt to bring them back to my mom. I hope the chocolate won't melt.....haha!

I wish I could do more for my mom, I really wish to go back to Hong Kong soon. There are a lot of things that I wish for. I start to wonder if I can ever fulfill all my dreams. I just really want our business to success and feel like giving up. I know I have to have patient but it's really when you have no money to buy food or pay bills. It's really really stressful. I just feel like all the hard work is going to waste. I don't know what to do.

Well, I just need to get it out of my system. I know it's time for me to go back to work huh!

Here is our newest products:
