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.

Pearly
This sweet little choker was assembled with swarovski pearls and seed beads. It measures about 34 cm and comes with an extension. Can be worn as a formal piece.
Smoky
This pair of earring is crafted with tear-drop smoky beads, interspaced with flower-shaped spacers. Thought the effect was quite a nice formation.
