XUE means “snow” in Mandarin. It is also my name & my daughter's middle name.

A collection of art, craft, jewelry, patchwork, sewing, quilting, all inspired by daily exposure to Western & Asian cultures since ours is a mixed Chinese & European family. Read about our life amidst craft in this latest land we are living in, after 20 years of moving around the world. I write about making pretty things we love & about my crafty kids - whom we love. And my husband too, since he designed my website! He started it & my Etsy shop because getting started & all this technical stuff drove me nuts!

Blue is the colour . . .

. . . of my latest Compact Mirror & Card Cases :

LEFT : Created with Heather (of Azure Islands) in mind. A truly wonderful person who gives great advice. My thoughtful penpal, from across the oceans. This card case is "Azure Dreams". Pretty like the jewelry in Heather's shop.

Below, Left : This blue card case was inspired by Linda, who makes pretty hair accessories. She loves swirls & you can see many swirls in her Etsy shop, Artful Expressions. This card case is aptly called "Linda floats with Swirls & Sparkles". Also, "A Genie in an Oriental Teapot". You can just see her emerging from the gold dust!

All these compacts & card cases are available in my Etsy shop if you feel like getting one!

May I introduce you to . . .

. . . more stylish Card Cases! You won't be whipping out dog-earred cards with these around!










And a Compact Mirror, for that crucial moment when you need to look even more gorgeous!
This one (top right) is "Dragonflies trailing in gold dust & sparkles". All, in my Etsy store.

And here's my card ....

Every designer/artist/seller should have one of these ☺ !
A pretty aluminium case to ferry your cards around, be it your namecards, their namecards, kid's photos, credit cards, discount cards, ID cards or anything that can fit in here.

Isn't it more stylish & organised to have them in this,
than to fish them out of your purse - like what I was doing for quite a while!

Do you like it? This is my first & I will be doing more, from flirty ones to serious ones !

Mamas all dressed up !


So with encouraging comments,
I finally dressed my polymer "Mama" pendants
& put a couple in my Etsy shop.

Hopefully someone out there will want one
for themselves or for a Mama they know!

There's Mama Loves the Blue Moon,
with a 2-sided pendant.
And Mama Loves Toffee, in Oval.

I hope to list more soon.



I also sent this out to Nagisa san - one of the most stylish Japanese woman I know.
Also one of the nicest person I know!
She bought Sakura Bloom, Red & Clear.

Mamas come in all shapes & sizes!

As do my colourful Pendants,
created with all Mamas in mind.
Be it for your Mama, or yourself or a friend who's a Mama . . . there's a design here, for each one.
So plan ahead for Mother's Day, her special day or just any day!

Mama of 2 !!!

This delicious caramel-looking pendant, was specially created for Yuka, a friend who gave birth recently to Freddy - a 2nd child for Henry & her, a little brother for Alice. As this turned out to be quite pretty,
I made lots more, for my Etsy shop, so that more Mamas get to have one, with none being too alike.

And this 2nd pix is ..... not a colourful Tic Tac Toe but our Easter Brownie Cake, which we made for the mama & her 2 children although Baby Freddy can't taste it yet!

More freshly baked !


From my "Ocean Blues" range :
A walk on the beach.
Here, Fishy-Fishy!
We love the World.
Window with a View.
And the Red & Gold series :
Golden Bunny Hops.
Ukiyo-e in Red & Gold.
Love is Striking.

Ok, I've got to work on better names
for these red/gold ones!

Fresh from the oven.


Recently, 2 customers said how much they liked my polymer beads & pendants. So with their praises in my mind, I was inspired to do these - my new batch of polymer designs.

All are different on either side, to give you a choice of being elegant or fun! I do enjoy making these colourful pieces!
