Something about me ^^




          
Well, it takes time and courage for this post because it is all about me and I am very shy person. My name is cheri , the owner of cherijame www.etsy.com/shop/cherijame , a housewife and former journalist/writer.

I don’t know how I turn to small business owner but looking back when I was young, born and raised in Chinese family, my parent always work very hard. My mom owns a small garment. She and her worker work days and nights. As a kid, I have to do anything I can to help her. It’s not fun at that time. Fabric and sewing machine seem very super boring except when she allow me to play with little piece of fabric that useless for her. I use it as some food (noodle, if you don’t have a clue), hair decoration, doll cloth, anything I can imagine (even fabric amulet ha-ha).

My high school’s life is nothing much to talk about. I love music, actually, crazy is the correct word and i love reading so much. It was very confuse, as I didn’t know what I really want to do in the future. After many confusing times, I decided to study fine art at the university. Ceramic, of course. Actually, I don’t know anything about ceramic at that time. I just love sculpture something you can touch in three dimensions. Above of all, I just want a coffee mug that made by myself for my coffee time in the morning. I read a lot during that time and the library is my secret world, which really help me in the future^^

After spent a year of many temporary jobs and found out that I love to think and knowing about people, social phenomenon and pop culture. it’s became my four years  in university 
(again) and then I success my master degree in Anthropology in 2002.

Eight years later, I work as journalist and columnist for many Thai magazine and newspaper. The turning point is I got married, have a house of my dream and want to spend time with my beloved hubby. So I decides to have my own life that’s not depends on routine job. I think about something I want to play and touch and it is fabric which I have some collection back in 2010. I learn how to sew and making pattern by myself and took my courage to sell my product. It’s start with small pillow for kids, bean bag chair (because my hubby want to have one), ukulele case which become my most successful product, doll, key holder etc.

My business is still very small but I love how’s flexible it is. I can travel and go anywhere I want. I read a lot and watch many series that I love and I can spend my time with my hubby, which I really appreciate ^^

Maybe, this is the longest post I ever done before. Just in case you guys want to know about me and I want to know about you too. Talk to me or leave me your comment if you want.

As they say, life is just a bowl of cherries. Sometime good, sometime bad. I totally agree with this. See u next time. ^^

New Product ^^


Hi :) just quick update for my product.  As you can see, i am a big fan of Matryoshka doll. i think, it started when i was a kid. i received them as a gift from my parent and i love them a lot. i don't know where are they now (i think, they are gone when we moved 20 years ago) but it's fine because i can make them myself now :D










i also love Dala horse too. Don't know why, i just love them so much so i make them in many size as key holder and soft pillow. You know, you can have one too, if you want :)











The last one is also my favourite. Do anyone don't want to own a house? even it's just a house pillow.




Well, take care and goodnight ^^ see you <3

how to make a bean bag chair ^^


There are simple steps to make a bean bag chair. You can see from the picture below. i suggest fabric like cotton canvas or cotton denim. They are very durable and comfort :) and you can wash them in your washing machine.










Liner is not necessary for a bean bag chair but it is a lot easier, in case you want to wash them and if you have a kid. you must be considerate to have one with your cover. ^^




You can fill it with anything you like. i prefer foam bead because it is convenience for me to buy it. (The foam factory is very near my house) and my hubby love the texture and the feeling of them. it's very comfy. you can sleep in it <3













Now you have it!!!!



i hope this post will be a little bit useful for you guys. See you next time and stay healthy :D

Hello, welcome to my home ^^



Well, this is not my first time that I open my home to public. (One of my favorite magazines  featured my home before and the magazine called ‘my home’.)




 


I always wonder and really want to see what the other people’s space look like. I love all kind of decoration book and magazine especially girly work space section and that why I guess maybe you guys want to see what my place look like.


 


 My husband and I, we both work at home. We spend hours and hours here. He is a music composer who love all kind of nature. He plants all flower and tree in our house. (He can take all the credit, if you think my home look nice.) About me, I love all kind of handmade. Apart from sewing, I love kniting and crochet too so I always think that I don’t have enough time to do everything I love. J


 



 

Welcome again, to my studio. It is along the canal, very close to the water that always calms me down when I am in the bad mood. It’s full of my stuffs, every corners. It's like my dream come true :D and it is my husband who made it. !!!
         

 
















              

I am so happy with things around here. Life is slow, sometime it isn’t but it always gives me time to think, walk, play(with my dog) and the best of all I can do what I love and spending time with my husband who is very kind and supportive.



Well, the last picture tell everything. ^^

Nice to meet you guys. xxxx

My rainy home


it's rain season here in thialand. Since my home is located in the suburban of bangkok so it's quiet nature around my house.


i really love this viole flower very much. i found it mystery and sweet at the same time (just like me... haha)





The white house behind the tree is where i live with my husband and my dog. we both work at home so most of our daily life are here.






We really love this place and the environment. Our home is along the canel and this is the thing we see everyday.




 Finally, our dog who entertain and also protect us every minutes. Such a cute and funny dog !!!


See you soon :) good day.
