Valentine’s 2012

January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment

Have you gotten used to the fact that it is already 2012? I haven’t. Well, in a way I have. The days have whizzed by, longer than ever and packed to the brim. The children are somewhat settled in school and have fallen into a routine of rousing early and sleeping slightly earlier. School is [...]

winding down

December 28, 2010 | 1 Comment

Working on a couple of outstanding orders, and having a whole list of new ideas for the new year. The worktable is needing a good sort through after the mad rush and a new shelving system is needed. But first, a wind down. These days, I pop some soy tarts into the burner to fill [...]

Oh hi…! Unwinding now after a mad rush for the Christmas festivities. I must have been high on adrenaline or something because I crashed out the entire Boxing Day afternoon. Recharging for a new year now! I’ve had a lovely time celebrating Christmas. My mind’s still recovering so I shall leave you with a few [...]

Working Wednesdays :: Accessorising The Bridal Party

I’ve had the honour of working with a number of brides in preparing accessories that will suit them, their entourage and their colour theme for the big day.

Working Wednesdays :: Catch Up!

September 20, 2010 | 3 Comments

❤ A little ironic to be updating about a new weekly feature on the ‘wrong’ day. I have been attempting to update the blog on a daily basis and trying to keep Wednesdays for shop updates. Since I missed last week’s, and boy, was that supposed to have been a big update, I figured I’d [...]

Shop Early For Christmas ~ Christmas Selections by Sparkle Thots So much to do, so little time! Its less than 15 weeks down to Christmas. Minus off the shipping times (which can get real crazy in the lead up) and you have even less time to shop for everyone on your ‘nice’ list. So why [...]

Behind the Scenes :: Packaging

July 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Lots to do! Lots of ribbons to tie. Bulk orders tend to get a different treatment around here… Been exploring alternative ways of packaging the jewellery. Especially when there are more than 5 items in the order. A little kraft-ing goes a long way. And MT tape too. Love that stuff. Bring out the rubber [...]

burnt week

June 25, 2010 | 1 Comment

Seriously, and quite literally, burnt. Baby girl has been running a temperature since Monday and we are all pooped from dealing with the mandatory crankiness not to mention, soiled diapers. The in-laws have been a great help in taking older brother J off our hands in the day so that we are still, erhmm, sane. [...]
