On the 3rd Day of Christmas 27th December 2014

We are counting down to New Year in a week's time:)

As usual 2014 is fast flying and now it is almost gone!

I have a very productive year albeit slowdown from August

due to family committment! Every year end, I will always 

lament that time is not enough etc etc but now instead of 

doing that, I will just forge ahead and make good use of 

my time.  I have come to the conclusion that when we are

young and have lots of time on hand, we find time moving

rather slowly but now cos we have a family to look after

and a business to handle, hence time pass faster and I am

always lacking of sleep:)

My new year resolution would be to slow down and take

things easy and read more books and smell more flowers:)

I have stopped going to libraries and visiting book stores and

will make it a point to do it more often!

Dear folks, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and

a good year ahead!  My sincere thanks for those of you who

boughts my crafts and handmade jewellery:)

Thanks for visiting my blog:)

Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Time of the year again when people shop n buy gifts for their loved ones:)

Love Christmas best of all festive seasons cos everywhere we go, there are

lots of beautiful decorations and nice christmas songs.  We never go tired

of listening to them though we outgrow them ... jingle bells jingle bells etc

2014 has been a rather busy as well as traumatic year for me cos in mid August,

there was a family crisis and luckily everything was resolved soon after, thank God:)

I am back to designing and making nice jewelry items for gifts and I am just happy

doing what I love.  Meeting new customers and lovers of handmade stuffs make 

my day.  I am always encouraging people to pick up a hobby which is good for

the minds and therapeutic as well.   It is always gratifying to see those cystals, beads n

pearls being transformed into something beautiful and you feel great wearing your 

own creations! The happiness of seeing others wearing your creations is also priceless!

I am looking forward to doing staff bazaars for schools, hospitals and statutory boards 

and hope my regulars and supporters of handmade items continue to give me a chance

to create for them beautiful pieces that are both attractive and value for money:)

Till then, Merry Christmas to all and best endeavours for the coming New Year 2015

Handmade For October 2014

Due to some personal hiccups, I have not updated my blog rather

frequently:(  Time is not on my side as I set about trying to right matters 

on hand and at the same time attempting to do a bona fide buisness:)

I hate to use this excuse but it seems that year end is again approaching

and I will be busy trying to come up with new designs for Christmas &

Chinese New Year and again, will neglect my blog:)  I can see many

of you are interested in learning the art of jewellery making from me &

hope you can be patient and I will find the time to coach you when the

time is right. 

 Above photos are some of my recent items, made with cezh

glass beads, natural stones and freshwater pearls.  Currently, I like to keep 

designs simple so that you can wear them to work everyday!  I wish time

 is on my side as  I have so many things on my mind but hardly had enough 

time to complete them:(  Before 2015 hits, I pray I will be able to finish my 

whole list of agenda and then plan for a whole new year again....

Busy June & July 2014

Before I knew it, June has slipped by and July is almost ending soon:(

I have been away in June with my family and July is such a busy month.

No ends to selling my handmade items in schools, markets and bazaars!

Doing handmade is indeed a slow process and sometimes, when the

atmosphere is right, I can do non stop and at times, the weather is 

really too hot to do anything nice at all:)

Currently, I am back into making cluster rings as reflected in the photos

above and two of them sold to a nice lady at Redhill:)  I hope to create

more and nicer designs soon.  

Thanks for visiting my blog and also many apologies for being so slow in 

updating my blog recently.  I hope to have more news for August and till

then, take care folks:)

Post mortem for May 2014

May 2014 has been a very busy month with indoor and outdoor bazaars

as well as sales in schools, hospitals and vicinity of markets:)

Before I knew it, this month is going to end soon and June holidays is

back soon!  Some customers will be away on holidays while some students

will be having backup lessons to prepare for the final exams after the

one month break.  Anyway, life goes on for me, creating new items for 

sales at new locations:)  I hope those of you who have bought something

from me will continue to support my bazaars and thanks for visiting my

blog.  I will try to put more interesting photos when I have more time on hand:)

Have a nice weekend ahead!

Happenings in April 2014

Before I knew it, time passes so fast that I was left behind and have

no time whatever to update my blog and also hardly find time to design

new items for my so called bazaars all over Singapore:)

Since January at Ghim Moh Chinese New Year bazaar, above picture

shows a more recent event at Ghim Moh Weekend market in April:)

 

 

Some of my more recent items sold at Chong Pang last weekend.  

To make my handmade items more attractive, I framed them up

for display:)

 

 

I wire-wrapped the coral teardrop to make the earrings

look more artistic though some buyers like simple pearl

drops:)

 

Humongous rings for the more adventurous.  I love the

golden & silver strawberries bling and there are only

one of each:)

Thank you for visiting my blog and I will try to update my blog as

soon as I have news worth mentioning:)  In the meantime,  have a nice

weekend and Happy Easter:)

Ghim Moh CNY bazaar 2014

First time we went to sell at Ghim Moh during Chinese New Year Bazaar. The market 

here is both vibrant and exciting with lots of new as well as preloved items. After the lunar 

new year celebrations, the fleamarket at GM will be held on every 2nd weekend of the

month:)  I will definitely join them again on 9th of March 2014:)  I like to thank all of

you at Ghim Moh who bought my handmade items & gifts:)  I hope to make more

interesting products for my March sale!

This is my table last Sunday at Ghim Moh and it is also the last day

of the Chinese New Year bazaar")  

 

These heart pendants will be good gifts for the coming Valentine Day on 

14th February which also falls on the 15th day of the lunar new year :)  It

is an important day for the Chinese and so there will be double celebration 

this year!

 

Hello Kitty Valentine

Pretty colours all made from Swarovski elements:)
