Sneak peak of my book illustrations

In these days, I am focusing on finishing book illustrations, and this is the sneak peak of my process.
Mostly worked with watercolor, and then used acrylic, and soft pastel.

My awesome handmade light box

My lovely hubby made this awesome light box for me.
It's 24'*18' size. So it's quite big. Don't remember how much I spend for the Plexiglas. Used scrap wood pieces at home, nailed and glued. CHEAP but Strong and portable.
I've been using it, and it's awesome.

My dream, hope, desire for my life

일년에 한번쯤은 바다로 여행을 가고 싶고,
일년에 한번쯤은 산으로 여행을 가고 싶고,
일년에 한번쯤 겨울엔 스키장에서 한 3-4일 놀다왔으면 좋겠으며,
일년에 한번쯤 해외 여행을 가고 싶다.
물론 이 해외여행에 한국은 빠진다.
그리고 일년에 한번쯤은 그냥 간단한 로드 트립을 가고 싶다.

Tea time

Warming with a cup of tea

It's getting cold in Kansas. I got a cold, Jodi got a cold and Spencer got a cold, too.
Be careful with cold, probably a cup of warm tea would help.


I just got mine. This is for you.

Complains to my hubby

#1. A pair of sandals

This happened a few month ago.
We had a plan to go to a vacation to Florida. I was excited and opened my wish list on a shopping website that I recently found. Among them, there was a pair of sandals that I wanted to buy, thinking I am going to use for at least 2 years. I had that sandals in my mind for more than a month. Finally, I was going to buy. However, right before that, I asked to my husband how he think. WOW! He was cool. He was like, "looks good, go ahead and buy it." YAY! So I was going to click to check out. All a sudden, at the moment of about to click, my husband started to be frustrated by the credit card bill.....
Why.... Why.... WHY?

Of course, I could not buy that pair of sandals that I had in my mind for more than a month. I still have not bought that. Now the season is over, and getting cold....

Guys, please don't talk about credit card bill right before your girl's shopping.

#2. Insecticide

This happened a few days ago.
Well, you might experienced someone who gets bites a lot. Somehow that person attracts insects very well. Well... it seems like that is me. Last few days, I got many many bites, even though I stayed at home. Good thing is my baby did not get anything. I feel like I protected my baby pretty good. Anyway, so I suggested to spray some insecticide thing to my husband. He said no, because of Jodi, the baby. He did not want her to get any of those bad thing. Acceptible. So I suggested again I can put her upstairs while the spray settle down. (He missed this part, and that led to a misunderstanding) Anyway, he did say no.

Later on, I rethought that conversation, scratching my leg, arm, and back to toe. Hmmmm... this is my house, too, and I am the one who stays at home the most and gets all bites. But I don't even have a right to spray insecticide?
I understand he is from a family who care about spraying that stuff, but I am from a family who doesn't care about spraying stuff at all but being bitten.
