Sassy Lime




Irregular beads with a shade of green, flower-shaped spacers and metal chains formed this unassuming pair of earring. Total drop including ear wire measures about 4 cm. It's definitely a lovely addition to your casual collection.

Retro Pink




Got these acrylic beads (come in a pack of 3 colours) from a shop in Tokyo. Loved the simplicity of the beads with a hint of retro flavour. Each lovely pink stripped bead sits snuggly between 2 flower spacers. Definitely a fun pair of earring to have!

Oriental Blue



This pair of earring has a nice blue cloisonne bead dropping from kidney-shaped ear wire. I've enclosed the bead with some simple wirework. Has intentionally kept the design simple to bring out the nice bead.

Hair Accessories




Made this while attending a lesson on hair fashion accessories. Have yet to wear it. Thought it's lovely. I like the soothing pastel combination of the various flowers.

Rubik's Cube

Not too long ago, there was this craze about Rubik's cube in my house. Hubby brought the kids to Toys 'R' Us and bought 2 cubes at one go - a 3 by 3 and a 2 by 2.

Since then, there had been the nightly sessions where the daddy would train the kids to solve the cube step by step. Both my kids have finally mastered solving both the cubes. My elder 9-yr-old has clocked a personal best of 2 mins 45 secs for solving the 3 by 3 cube while my younger 7-yr-old has done it below 4 mins. Then, the pressure is on mummy to solve it too. I've never been interested in puzzles, protested mummy. However, I finally succumbed to the pressure from my kids to learn to solve the cube too. Have only managed stage 1 out of 6 stages.... still a long way to go........ Well, interest and passion is very important in the face of challenging task. Let's see whether I'll ever learn how to solve the Rubik's cube. Will definitely proudly share it with all if I've conquered the quest. Go, mummy go...........

Pastel Garden



Had paired the floral glass beads with matching Swarovski crystals of 2 sizes (4mm & 5 mm). The colour combination is soothing and sweet. Goes well with causals.
