June the hottest month

Teaching in progress in Jurong West.  June is indeed a

hot month in Singapore since we are situated in the Equator.

However the weather did not deter us from learning ways to

create jewellery.  I am coaching new student in the coffee shop

and she is lost in the world of jewellery making.  A fast learner,

she is able to make a few wire wrapped rings as well as some

ear rings:)

Some of the items made so far:)

 

Even after a decade, I am still excited teaching wire wrapped

rings:)   They are so beautiful and customers can wear them

right away:)  As a thoughtful gift, handmade jewellery brings

happiness to the receiver:)

There are endless ways to play with natural stones, you can wire 

wrapped them into rings, make ear rings or bracelets or customized

accordingly to customers' needs.  I hope my handmade jewellery

will bring satisfaction as well as great pleasure to the wearers:)

Thanks to all my supporters and customers for visiting my blog n wish

all fathers a very Happy Father's Day today!

April & May 2015

We have gone to many new locations in April:)  Recently we tried new areas

like Lorong Ah Soo, Holland Drive and Bedok Central:)

The weather is really hot and the motivation to write is also not too

forthcoming.   However I had to pen a few words to show customers that I am

still in the trade and would be glad to come up with new designs when I have

the time and especially hoping the hot weather will cool down soon:)

Mostly recently, I am into natural stones and I have made alot of 

bracelets using all kinds of stones with healing power.  My favourite is carnelian 

which you can see in the photo above, brown-orange in colour which is supposed

to give energy to wearer:)   Rose quartz is also among the favourite with ladies as

they are the stones of love and harmony.  Handmade pearl necklaces, bracelets, rings

and earrings are also hot items as they are never out of fashion and look good on

any wearers.  Those who have bought my pearl jewellery knew that they are both

long lasting and of good quality not to mention the affordable prices that I give :)

Tribal inspired look jewellery are currently on my sale list.  Some of  those

displayed as per the photo above are popular with young and old.  They are

cool as well as trendy and not heavy at all compared to metal jewellery.  I 

take this chance to thank all my customers and potential customers for liking

my handmade products and hope your support will encourage me to continue

my hobby and love for handmade products:)

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!
