Tomorrow’s a public holiday here in Singapore and we’ve gotten all paid orders dropped off at the post office earlier today. They’d be on their way over to you shortly, so hang in there for the ride.

I’ve been quite busy with your orders (thankyouverymuch!) and am completely blown away by your love for the simple elegant Infinity necklaces. I’ve received a couple of requests for them to be made as a bracelet instead. So much so I’m actually stocking both the necklace and the bracelet in store now. Only ordered a limited quantity in gold and definitely running low.

And here’s a sneak peek at a few new pieces that will be coming your way soon. Clean, light and just about perfect for everyday wear. Great for casual weekends, for days spent chasing kids. Pretty much I spend my days!

My week in 8 snapshots :-

This past week, the kids were all silly. J did his work and K did some cuddling. The boy brought home a pamphlet re primary school registration. This lil big boy is going to primary school! Still a baby as far as I am concerned. The sunsets were spectacular (the weather stifling), the unexpected cafe hopping lovely and the company crazy fun.

Swarovski pink pearls and gold. Paired with AB finish Czech glass? A heady mix of romance, and everyday cheer. Loving this combination so much, especially the pearls such that I have them in an assortment of sizes. Gorgeous in real life. The earrings are already in store and the necklace would be soon. You can go all matchy-matchy with these or get them separately. Your choice.

Thanks for hanging around… things have been crazy around here. The kids have been playing tag with the flu virus for a month (a whole freaking month and then some!) and work has taken a backseat. Orders have been going out as per normal but the muse has taken a sabbatical as well. I only managed to get the fingers crafting with these pearls. The colour just excites me.

So, till the next time, hopefully much sooner rather than later…

Obsessing With…

… paper crafts. Aside from tinkering with the lil crystals and gems, I’ve been obsessing over paper. Versatile and easy to get to, they make some of the easiest crafts to transport around or do on a whim. Plus, if you are doing just for the fun of it, any old recycled paper will do. It’s literally a grab-and-go sort of thing.

And because I’ve been trying my best to stay up to date with my Project Life album, I’ve been working on lil bits to add on to it. Like these overlays (or whatever you call it, I’m so not a real scrapbooker). Whilst I’ve been lemming a Silhouette, I can’t quite justify another equipment in the house just yet. And at such a cost. I’ve actually been lusting over one since it was released in the States much earlier and where the local shops did not carry. Yes, that’s how long it has been. I still drool over it and until and unless I actually get one, I’d just live and make do.

Like this. Craft punches punched in whichever way you like and to cut the rest out with a penknife. Add a background (or a photo), embellish even more and you have an easy peasy card.

Haven’t forgotten about ‘work’ either. We are looking at new ways to package your goodies and are excited by this new stamp. Gorgeous in our eyes. Yay / nay? Either way, we are pretty much in love with it!

p/s : we are counting down to our vacay! You have just under a week to get your Valentine’s Day orders in before we take off.
