Iced gems

Oh cute little biscuits of my childhood, you are sorely missed! :P
Iced gems were so next on Jinjerup's Snacks & Treats theme list, for you guys who aren't familiar with what they are, I'll try my best to give you a description of what these precious yummies are.

They're actually little round biscuits with cute dollops of hardened icing on top, and they come in 4 colors of icing. The ones found where I am are usually pink, white, yellow & green. Wonder why they didn't make more colors plus I wonder who got to choose those colors, why pink, yellow, white & green? :P Well, from what I've just read, the updated color palette of these iced gems are white, yellow, orange, red and purple.

Sugary goodness in every little munch, I used to bite off all the icing, keeping them aside to nibble after finishing off the round biscuit base! :P From what I recall, I got really hyper from all that sugar! grin* If you guys have never tried them, you should, they are very adorable!

If you had the chance to pick 4 colors for your customized batch of iced gems, what colors would you choose? :)

Pretzels!

March brings a tasty new theme to Jinjerup: Snacks & treats!
Yums! I'll be designing brand new patterns centred around this delightul theme.
If you guys have any fave snacks or treats, do leave your suggestions or comments in our posts throughout this month & we'll see what we can do ;)

Freshly baked pretzels, of the sweet or savory kind are our first batch of Jinjerup patterns! I love the ones with the crunchy hard exterior and their sprinklings of salt & I also adore the soft doughy sweet cinnamon sugar-covered ones! I can never decide which I like best! :P

Sweetums

:) Its been an eventful morning, my family just had a ton of relatives over as its the last official day of Chinese New Year! This special day known as Chap Goh Mei marks the fifteenth and final day of the Lunar New Year period and is also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day.

On Chap Goh Mei , young unmarried women gather to toss tangerines (with their names & contact numbers, please insert your email add too! ) into the sea or nearby lake, in the hopes that their future spouse will pick it up. Apparently, they've taken to throwing all sorts of other fruit too (to stand out), a friend once saw a watermelon and banana bobbing along!! LOLs*

Well, to commemorate this special day, here's a brand new trio of patterns. These 3 cute hearty designs are the last batch of heart themed patterns for the month of February!


Sweetums (pop rocks)
Bold pinks, blues & yellows color these hearts with a sweet kind of love


Sweetums (spring plaid)
Sober reds, blues & greys color these hearts with a sombre love



Sweetums (summer tea)
Cheery yellows, blues & greens color these hearts with a bright kind of love

Merry's Cat hop

On the look out for new shirts, anyone? I'm liking this brand new design by gadacr :) Its so cute "If you come across cats in disguise as bunnies, start hopping and they'll hop along with you!"

Key to my heart

I've been quite taken with silhouttes of late & I like drawers full of keys, so silhouttes + keys = Key to my heart! :P Jinjerup's new pattern! lols* nono, actually I was inspired to design this new batch, after a conversation with a close friend about finding & keeping love.

If I threw you into a room so full of keys, could you find the key to my heart? Imagine being in a room with heaps & heaps of keys, keys of every make & sort! It would take one ages & plenty of determination, & not to mention perseverance to want to sift through every single key just to find the one, the only one to unlock the door to love.

That's a tough challenge indeed, but don't you think it would be so worth your tremendous effort if the person on the other side is the just the one you've been looking for? :) How long did it take you guys to find love, please do share! ;)


Key to my heart (yellow)
Can you find the keys to my mellow yellow heart?



Key to my heart (red)
Can you find the keys to my thread red heart?



Key to my heart (blue)
Can you find the keys to my true blue heart?

Note: Don't give up hope, dearie hugs* He's out there! ;)

Jinjerup in Pattern!

Here's a spot of news: I was just checking out Print & Pattern blog a few days ago, when I stumbled upon Marie's feature of her latest book purchase: Patterns, Motifs| Muster| Patronen. (by Macarena, booqs publishing)



I was thrilled to discover that she had taken a snap featuring Jinjerup's Pitter Patter pattern (pattern on the left in picture below) in this brand new Pattern book! :D I have been waiting so very (im)patiently for my copy of the book to arrive in the mail, am super excited!

Love Lenses

I woke up with this phrase in my head 3 days ago "You are the love through my lenses". Intrigued by it, I sat and thought hard about how it managed to wrangle its way into my semi-conscious state of mind. Nada, till the present moment, I still can't seem to locate its source.

But what I did manage to do, was design this new trio of patterns based on it :P lols* heart shaped glasses to suit your whims & moods. I'm liking the blaise rose's color palette quite a lot now, the greys & pinks & blues go so well together :D


Love lenses (happy go lucky)
If you're feeling lucky in love, these cute glasses are for you



Love lenses (autumn chic)
If you're feeling sombre, these serious glasses are for you



Love lenses (blaise rose)
If you're feeling a little girly, these pretty glasses are for you

Curious at heart

Yay, I'm back after my short Chinese New Year break! To continue the love inspired theme for this month, I was messing around with these hearts when I came up with these oddly mesmerizing patterns. I can't seem to stop staring at them! :P

imho, it looks as if the hearts are turning round and round on a horizontal bar, this would be probably due to their big to small sized arrangements. lols* how very curious, indeed!


Curious at heart (bubblegum)
Turning around and around your bubblegum heart



Curious at heart (frost)
Turning around and around your frosty heart



Curious at heart (black night)
Turning around and around your black, black heart

Hm.. after awhile, some sort of do look pscyhedelic & retro-like too.
rofl* oh & this has nothing to do with my meds! I like trying new design directions to add new blood to the Jinjerup pattern collection. :P

Melting for you

Ooooh, I couldn't resist! Its been absolutely sooooooooooooooo hot this week... my foot in a cast, felt like it was being in a mini oven. My efforts of trying to ignore the heat brought on many, many thoughts of binging on as many ice creams & lollies as I can get my hands on.

But.. a) I'm stuck in the house alone, I don't dare risk foraging for ice creams downstairs alone.. so not worth the effort if there are none :( and b) I can't possibly drive out if there are none around!! So I was absolutely sweating buckets when I thought of this funny little pattern. Sweating, half chomped ice creams in their melting hot love (for you)! :P


Melting for you (pink)
You're so hot, you make me melt!



Melting for you (orange)
You're so hot, you make me melt!



Melting for you (purple)
You're so hot, you make me melt!

I'm going to make sure my family stocks on boxes of a gazillioooonnn ice lollies when they get back!! :P

Tweet Love!

Here's a new Valentine's day pattern inspired by the many bird scenarios I can see from my room window. I have no idea why I keep seeing adorable little chubby sparrow couples perching around my balcony area.

All they do are, chirp noisily, perch & preen each other or work on their sparrow canoodling. Makes me a little envious at times :P Wish I could get better faster & get my foot's cast off! Well, back to more ignoring the imaginary itch in my cast. Hope you like the tweeting pairs ;)
