Making Jewellery

Once upon a time, I used to make jewelleries.  After my maid left , I hardly have time to deal with those stuffs anymore.

I have so much of materials leftover and  it is almost impossible to find time to feed my hobby. Actually , you can say I don't manage my time well.

Well, today, I decided to dig out my treasure chest and came out with 2 necklaces. Feel very guilty afterwards because...cooking not done, house chores not completed. Yes, making jewellery is very time consuming especially if you don't have any inspiration and your materials are not well organised.

Not exactly satisfied but at least I have new necklace to wear soon. Actually I prefer bracelets.  Maybe I'll work on those unfinished ones first.

Another Bookmark

My boy wanted me to dish up a bookmark at the very last minute for his senior's birthday.
They have recently worked together as emcees and he really looked up to his senior as a role model. I find her a really good leader...no wonder she was 'democratically voted' as a school captain.

With only about an hour to do this, I am actually quite please with the end product ( syiok sendiri).

 But what is most important is that the recipient likes it and not put it aside to lay eggs!

His Dream City

My older boy has an American Dream. He wants to go there one day to work and to stay. He is just so obsessed with NY.

One fine day, when he brother is away.  Boredom sets in. He took a drawing paper and started drawing for hours.

Aiyo....so blur.
Then he told me he wanted to paint the picture. I said NOooooo...you'll spoil it with paint. Use oil pastel, colour pencil, crayon, magic ink......but not water colour. The figures are so tiny , how to paint????

He ignored his silly mom. And did what he wanted. Tara............

I have to say I admire his patience. I can't do this for sure.

Handmade Bookmark

It has been a long time since I was able to make any jewellery or bookmark. I miss my hobby but just do not have time to resume.....without a maid.

The last bookmark which I quickly churned for a friend because I've no idea what to give her when she invited me and some old schoolmates for dinner. Gifts has always been a headache for me. As for myself , if I invite anyone , I don't expect gifts else I have to worry what to give in return. The same as giving somebody something, I've totally no expectation of returns and I like it that way. Just be a graceful receiver and a graceful giver.

This friend of mine, she is far more affluent than me. There is nothing I can buy which she cannot afford. So besides bringing some rocher chocs for her kids , I added this little bookmark.

I remember making a quite a number for my kids' teachers and friends when I was more hardworking and they loved them ( the friends I mean)...not sure about the teachers though. Some even reminded my kid to ask me to make them a bookmark for their birthday....Well....Ask and It Shall Be Given.
