A Thousand Apologies

I am so so sorry it has taken this long to blog..it seems as though I have been apologizing more than really getting on with it!

It sure has been a tiring week for me and i have notice a lot of other things I have to do online..like updating my website, which I have not since the last new item I listed. I tend to go on to my etsy shop to list more items there. I have also been putting some new photos on flickr, yes I am with flickr now too and still with photobucket. I'm trying to get photos off my yahoo and transfer them to either flickr or photobucket. Whichever, I really don't mind.

I have however, been making new things, improvising and reconstructing some old clothes I don't wear and some baby plain tees which I bought some time ago..for the baby tees, I put appliques, but I also do that on my old clothes too. I have been retaking more photos of my past works that still needs to be out there on my website or in etsy shop.

Then I have this blog and myspace as well..so many...ahhh how to keep and also have a baby who keeps me busy all the time.

Anyhoos...these are some work I have recently produced...what do you think?

hubby's wristcuff/wristband

One of a Kind Blue Necklace-mixes of beads and buttons

A past work I made in 2005 for a competition I did not win, but I knew I was a winner anyway..I'll need some extra time if I want to start producing more similar jewelleries such as this one. And yes, it was popular that I sold it. Made using a variety of semi-precious stones and crystals, both Chinese and Swarovski.

By the way, the wristbands are ready to be ordered..yes, I do custom mades so pop by to my Etsy shop and send me a conversation. For fabric choices, go to my website. Thanks again!

AAACHoooooooo!!!

It has been a majorly terrible 2 weeks for me. I was unsure whether I still had the leftover flu, or a painful tiring headache, which made me physically tired. Was it lack of iron?? Not enough energy boosting foods?? Depression??? Who knows..anything could have triggered my tiredness which last for 2 weeks!!!

I'm possibly worrying about two things, job which equals $$$ and going back to Uni, which costs $$$. Also, needing to save $$$ to buy a flat in 2 yrs...AAAAHHH!!!!

Today, I have been sneezing like mad, several times. I must be catching a chill, or possibly, my flu has not fully gone. I still have the lingering cough anyway. However, I have been feeling terrible like lack of iron, so I got more iron tablets and hopefully that should help me a bit more. I possibly could have not eaten well either.

And having an active baby now is quite challenging, eventhough I enjoy looking after her.

Oh well, I thought I'd give a bit of a rant about what's been happening. I made my first sale which I have put towards the RED NOSE DAY COMIC RELIEF charity. So, I did not make profit,though the profit went to charity which is still a good thing.

By the way, I have also listed a few more items on my etsy shop and my website. I have not been updating my website as much I know I should!!!

Okay, off now..Toodles!! ;)

Walking, Talking Zombie

I feel like blekkk today..Had to wake up at 7am and did not have a good sleep I don't think. Little bumble bee woke up in a frenzy and was sitting in her cot crying as if in pain. I know I should just let her be, but my weakness of her calling me "Mumma", I had to pick her up and comfort her a little wee bit.

So, just had light lunch and going to have a it of dessert for some SUGAR BUZZ. Need a bit of that for me to survive throughtout the day and then, in the evening, having dinner at my grandma's place.

I'm still yawning and it's 1:47pm!! Aaaaahhh..oh well, they did say it's healthy to wake up early anyway.

Okay, maybe do some jewellery making today..see how I feel. Hopefully a bit more energetic after the sugar buzz.

Some photos I re-took:

Don't they look so much better!!!! :)

Many apologies

Many apologies for I have not been blogging since the last time I typed on here. I caught the flu bug that was floating about and had a terrible fever..so I was feeling YUCK from top to bottom.

The good news is that now I am in tip top condition, ready to show you off my new work, which I still have yet to work. So, please excuse me and bear with the amount of time I have now to make them.

Make jewelleries and accessories I shall!

Anyhow, now that I am slowly recovering and recuperrating (is that how you spell it??) from the flu and coughing manicly, I am receiving tons and tons of inspiration running through me. I spent an hour before my eyes fully closed to dream world, thinking about the all sorts I can make and sell.

As you have noticed, I am slowly shifting my old goods on my Etsy shop, which some are still on sale there, so be quick!

I thought I'd update you on my whereabouts. I'm all well now..not 100% but I can now manage with all my might to make some funky and interesting things to come.

Best go now. Au Voir!

It's been awhile

hey all, i know i know..where have i have been? i have been busy with organizing what to make this easter, then for spring/summer collection too.

by the way, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR (GONG XI FA CAI)

and

i will get back on typing more tomorrow as it is late and i'm very tired. good night x

A decision..

..has been made and I'll be putting the items on sale in my etsy shop, so there'll be space for me to put the new stuff on my website. So, if you decide you want to purchase something which is on SALE..then just head off to http://eclecticb.etsy.com

I'll also be putting some new things on there now and again.

The moment you've been waiting for....

HEARTS2HEARTS earrings

What do you think? Do I get the thumbs up? Is your mouth watering already? Does this seem like a perfect Valentine's Day gift? And below....

Hearts2Hearts Tassling earrings (only 2 available)

To match with these lovely pieces of earrings, I have made pendants for them, although I ran out of some heart beads. There is no green one available unfortunately. But here are the pendants though! (pictured below)

They are just simply beautiful. I thought of not including the chains for this as perhaps, you would like to use a ribbon or a cord string to wear the pendant with. Together with the earrings, they cost..so here we go...drums rolling.....GBP3.30. Yup! Also, they will be wrapped nicely..a perfect V-day gift, or something to spoil yourself =). To purchase, go to my ETSY shop!!

BELOW....

I have made other stuff too..one of which is not specifically a Valentine's Day selection. Here it is..I call it the "Pearly-O-Owl"

Made using freshwater pearls, seed beads and a cute cloisonne owl pendant ;) There are only 5 pendant (including this one). I will put a clasp to it of course..which is not shown in this pic (so sorry!). I do apologise. Very lovely and delicate, don't you think? Isn't it divine!

By the way, sales end Feb 15th! So hurry! However, the unsold sale items shall still be on my website anyway. If you have questions to ask..feel free to send me an e-mail. By the way, to fellow Etsyians, I have some items which I am selling on my etsy shop. Did you notice my cool, funky banner I designed? ;)

Ok, off now...have a great weekend!

Phew!

Okay..i have finally figured out what needed to be done to solve my little problem. all i had to do was to change the language..so figured that out just a few seconds ago ha ha ha..yay!

By the way, just a quick note...I have done some V-day jewelleries for the girls..now have to get some done for the guys..hang in there..

german blog?

okay this is creeping me out, but my blog has turned all german on me...aahhhh!!!

GO ECO! &weekend

go to http://www.ecoist.com

I just found this interesting website stated above which I have linked on my blog (you will notice it anyway). It focuses on handmade, recycled weaving handbags and belts. Gosh, how I wish I listened well to my art teacher back in primary school during one of the art topics on weaving. Now I know how vitally important some of the things I learnt during those time and how I could have put them in use for today!

At least, I know how to sew =) That's one good thing I have taught myself..oh and not forgetting beading as well. Tee hee hee.

I reckon I will give it a go-self-teach myself the art of weaving. I have loads of unused mags, so going to see what interesting things I can do out of them, maybe make some awesome pendants (still focusing on jewelleries and accessories).

Anyway, went to Planet Organic this evening and was looking for the energy saving light bulbs, but they ran out of those, so going to check them out on Monday, since they won't have stocks until next week. But I managed to get some food for my bumble bee, DH got some organic popcorn hehe whereas I got some yummy food for children, but for myself as they are simply delicious to be eaten. Yes, it's weird of me to do so, but it's simply yummy!!

Oh well, I do hope you all....

Alerting Jamie Oliver fans!

I just found Jamie Oliver's blog..yes...i'm such a stalker! (NO I'M NOT)

Do not forget, he did a great job starting the school dinner-healthy eating scheme. I don't think junk food are there for us to indulge on every single day and night..i reckon it's more for once a blue moon type thing, but then again, who ever invented junk food as comforting????

I'm trying to control my food intake as well...sweets once a week, then I'm thinking of progressing to once in 2 weeks then once in 3 weeks. Yes, that sounds crazy!!! But if I was at home (Kuala Lumpur) our dessert involved a variety of fresh fruits (no ice-cream) ,- i'm lactose intolerant anyway. (will discuss more on that another day)

Anyway, just to let you know I have posted J.O. blog on the blog link section. So, anyone who is looking for a great recipe to try on, there ya go!

Brainstorming

I really need to start thinking of what other stuff I can make specifically for guys. I'm hell good at the beading side of things. If only I had a sewing machine, I could have made 10 wristcuffs in a week! hehehe Pity I don't have a workshop with all sorts of tools, then maybe, MAYBE i can make glass rings. Then again, I have such a young baby, it would completely be way too impossible. Shucks!!

I'll just need to work with what I have for now....Brainstorming can be fun, but can be annoying when no inspirations.

Hey, guys out there reading this...can you give me some input please!!!

I suppose...

Yet again...

I am procrastinating!

As you can see, the little philosophical banners I have been putting on. You should be delighted to know that I have been working on a few accessories and jewelleries ready for photo-taking as well as put on my website. I have also been thinking of designs I can do the guys (I do apologize!). It's quite hard at times. I recently mailed my friend Lee's VERY late birthday present (due last March) and he totally loved it and had compliments on it too. I am also in the process of making one for my gorgeous hubby and will be making a variety more. Hopefully, it will all be done 2 weeks before V-day, so then it will be ready to be ordered, wrapped nicely and fabulously, and mailed out!

I have recently post a recently newly re-purposed pendant as you can see pictured below....








This pendant I have put it in the RE-cyc-le section, so check it out and...

Life.......

When I first saw this, I realised to myself "wow, this is good stuff!" Very philosophical don't you think!

imperfectionism is what i call perfect

cool graphic hey!
