Meats, Ballotin Boxes and Workshops in Paris

 I continue doing some experiments of color mix for meats lately. I also madesome chocolate boxes.

If you have been reading my blog since 2010, you must notice the Italian meats are very similar to those I had made before our house was burgaled. Unfortunately this happened again when we had vacation in Massif Central. We sense we have to secure more of our home. Some construction starts today and will finish in Jun.

Some news of the SIMP workshops
I will give 2 little projects on 23^rd Jun:
 (1) Breads & grapes (morning)

(2) Charlotte aux fruits de la-passion (afternoon)

I hope these two projects are interesting!  In the courses, I will explain the techniques in English and French. That will be a great challenge to me too!! LOL

Cupcakes for your sweetheart & gentleman! [My Etsy online shop]

Still 4 days, St Valentine is coming. I am not good at words.
I seldom say some sweet words to my ex-bfs even my husband.
For me, happiness is just from the pure hearts that we have ever exchanged and many tiny things we have ever experienced together.
But I admit that sometimes the honeyed phrases are quite necessary and useful even at that moment we felt like vomiting but we laughed at the same time in the end.

I am touched and fascinated when reading some brief paragraphs or simple sentences. Here is one for St. Valentine's Day:

"Mon Coeur a rencontré le tien…Il est à toi… garde le bien!"
"My heart have encountered yours…It’s yours… take good care of it!"
--> I promise I will repeat this in Chinese in front of my husband on 14th Feb, no laughing.

Another thing is I consider what to do first for my own business on Etsy.
I believe it would be great for me since it’s part of my passion.
This will be also the first time that I start managing my own online shop.
So many details need to handle.
I just realize how much efforts the sellers need to prepare…
not only the creation parts but administrative procedure & responsibility need to take.

Okay, so eventually my Etsy shop is here: http://oiseaudenim.etsy.com/

Hope I will start smoothly…. *Praying!
