Bags Galore!

Bags! yes, I have a bag fetish. Cant afford the real thing, so SW bags will make do. Who doesnt love bags ?

the More the Merrier!

"less is more" does not apply here.

One, two, and three...

I made not one, not two, but three pendants!

Was browsing thru some trinkets at a departmental store, the far end corner of my eyes caught something sparkling. These pendants, (in crystals and light amethyst colors) were selling for USD90! Cheapo me, or rather

crafty me, *smarty* me [wink wink], decided to make it me-self. It is quite simple to make,

not a lot of SW, and string it thru an 18" sterling silver necklace. So here they are. Pretty maids in a row. In fact, I made two whilst riding on the train on my way to work. Call it time management, or kiasu-ness in me. I am capitvated with it. Great gifts too.

The long neck in blue zircon

alamak .. I pengsan

something ole, something pink

It has been a while since I last posted.

Summer is over and it is Fall now. Days are

getting shorter and nights longer.

I hope I can find the time to do beadings,

as there are quite a few things that I would

like to make for my bestest friends for Christmas.

Work is taking up so much of my time. I know,

it is not healthy. I have to find a balance. Yet,

it is easier said than done indeed.

oops, this is a craft corner, not a whiney corner.

sori, sis.. :)

Since October is Pink Ribbon month, I did something

Pink; ear-rings and braclet from cloisonne

[ i like cloisonne, it feels Oriental ]

and a matching pink ring.

Autumn 2008 Beads Friend

Yoko Hasegawa san bought this latest issue of Beads Friend for me from Japan.

I like to read beading magazines from Japan. The designs are simple to make and

yet elegant.
