青花瓷 Blue-flower China $ 32 - 2 pairs only SOLD ALL

I got the name from watching TV, adopted by a pair of Taiwanese female singers. I like the name very much, because it reminds me of elegant procelain China with just blue flowers on very very white, clean background.

So I became inspired and decked a pair of Impression Jasper (from Japan)with blue carved flower (stone unidentified, but I suspect it is Howlite) and loads of white freshwater pearls.

Earwires are 925 silver. Stunning result fit for a grand occasion with a touch of class.

Sweet Fluorite $ 35 - 2 pieces only, goldfilled chain

Aren't these carved Fluorite sweet? They are not exactly the same in terms of colours and size, but they all have tints of blue or green, and even purple!

I have connected small white freshwater pearls along the chain. Feels cheery and princess-y when worn! :) Chain about 16".

Angel's Tears $ 40 (goldfilled chain, bracelet $36 with adjustable length)

This is a cute little necklace which you shouldn't be too conscious about when it comes to the position of the stones on your neck when worn. Forget about which rests in the centre on the neck; just let these little juicy stones dance around and find new resting places every now and then!

These stones are simply colourful and shiny and high in quality. It was tempting to add other gemstones into the mix while deciding on the colours. These colours simply jump out from the skin even though they are tiny! Gemstone: Amethyst, yellow Sapphire(!), Mandarin Garnet, Rhodolite Garnet, pink Topaz and Peridot.

Definitely good for daily wear. But please exercise jewellery care to preserve the shine of the stones. Necklace is about 16".

Next Posting...

I will try to find time to take pictures of my lovely little necklaces (carved little somethings) and post them up on Wednesday or earlier.

Life of a temporary SAHM (stay at home mum) is not as relaxed as I thought it would be, esp now that I have two kids. I remember when I had Chun, I could still work through the night at my jewellery work station with her sleeping next to me. But now I just don't have the energy. I can't sleep til lunch anymore as Chun needs to be sent to childcare by 8.45am. In the afternoons, I need to conserve energy for night feedings.

And, my life is filled with doing lots of household chores! How did I ever survive with vacuuming and mopping just once a week for the past 6 married years?! Nowadays I find myself constantly examining my floor for specks of dirt and dust. They keep coming back! My feet turn dirty so quickly. And I am easily irritated by messy furnitures and toys spilling all over the place. I constantly add on tasks I demand myself to complete before the day ends on a notebook, like today's:

1. grocery shopping at NTUC for milk, juice, thirsty hippo

2. change bedsheets

3. vacuum floor

4. throw out unwanted clothes in wardrobe (part 3)

5. submit application form for unpaid childcare leave next year

6. call up moms in mind to enquire about breastmilk pump funnels

7. get a new container for keeping the breastmilk pump funnels

and all these are on top of the other stuff I do such as caring for the baby and sending and fetching Chun from childcare. I am so tired! I was complaining to Laogong just now that I miss my hobbies so much. I miss crochet, I miss felt work and I miss jewellery-making. I have everything I need on hand such as materials and books and ideas, but I just don't have the time and energy!!

Anyway, my maternity leave will end in another 2 weeks as I intend to save the remaining 5 weeks of paid maternity leave for next year, after which I will be 'resting' at home, testing out my calling of becoming a real SAHM in the near future. Haha maybe I won't be able to tahan the poor-ness (unpaid worrrr) and obsession of keeping the house clean all the time.

Magnolia in Bloom $ 65 ONE piece only

Hehe check out the double layer of flowers!

Yellow Chalcedony, orange Mandarin Garnet, natural undyed Chalcedony and Vesuvanite Idocrase. Lovely colour combo!

Moonlight Sonata - gift to friend C

How the moonstone glows from certain angles....

Made this quite sometime back for a dear friend C who is getting married next month. Not exactly for her big day, as I think it is far from being glam. But I am happy she was willing to pose for me while she wore the necklace!

This exquisite necklace is made of natural crystal, Keishi pearls and Moonstone.
