Frost..... by *CrysallisCreations on deviantART

I am happy!! Really I am... it's been a while since I last finished anything.... sigh.. I wish that I'll be able to carry this on and on but.... with all the pounding and small remodeling that hubby is planning, doesn't looks like that's gonna happen anytime soon.... sigh...

But the positive thing is... we might have a bigger dining room soon!! YAY!!!! And a way spacious entrance, I think that would be lovely... now if only I can get hubby to get some nice marble for the front door eh? heh.... :P

for those of you that care to read.... I am also having a sale with my gemstone beads... I don't do this often, at most twice a year, and only for stocks on hand, so if you're interested in anything better grab them quick!!! Not sure what I'll end up from the March show that's coming up, but yeah.... still need some space you know....

Don't forget to check those folders on the left column, a lot more hidden in there...

Anyway, hope you're doing well!! Keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll be able to make a few more new things soon eh?

XOXO

slump!!!!

oh blah..... sigh....

sometimes I think I have way too many minerals around me, thus confused the hack out of me you know??? the karma, the aura??? whatever... sigh...

I kept on picking up new beads, fondled them a bit, then put them back... even tried to reorganize my "stash", boy that got me even more depressed....

I really really should make something new soon, or post something... hey! how about some idiotic simple ones eh?? bwaahahahhahahaah I am not that bored just yet....

where's my muse??? sigh....

'til soon...

ah.... talk about Heavenly!!!

So...... I am proud to say that I was able to bribe Jo of GemHeaven http://gemheaven.etsy.com for these earrings.... teehee... it's such a great feeling when I can bribe someone with blings...... and OMG!!! I am in complete awe of these earrings!!!!!

I've been nagging at Jo to make matching bracelet at least, or pendant/necklace... heh... I adore the texture of these!!!! jingling!!!! woohoo!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

and I think I need more coffee... hmm... just thought that I'll share my excitement... ah....

HUGS Jo!! I adore them!!! :D

a hoard.... I am definitely a hoard...

and no....... but yes you may still call me a bead ho.... HA! hmmm....

so after a long long break away from taking care of my business, both my jewelry and my beads, even though, to be fair, I have been making things though they're just not listed in my Etsy shop since a local gallery want them!! so there... yup yup!!! :P

So... went to a few suppliers in the past week, who knows when I'll finish using them, or even just one of them from each set, but ah.... who the hack cares right??? HA! sigh....

Where to start..... hmm.... ooooooOK..... seriously, these were probably not the best deal that I've ever gotten, but I don't care... as long as I can fondle this sucker I'll be all good really..... ah.... This is a whopping 51+ carat, measures at 30mm+.....Oregon Sunstone!!!! And I was so happy to lay my hands on some of these top quality ones! There's nothing faint about these colors, hint of green, with cat's eye effect through.....

HUGE intense color Lemon Quartz!! bwaahahhahahahaahah also got a few in pear shape... teehee....ah..... just a lovely lovely Prasiolite...... heh... :P

AAA multi color Sapphire briolette........

I think that's enough flaunting for now...... I will have a sweet dream tonight without thinking about my wallet....

'til soon!!! :D

What I am up to......

You know... really.... I really should learn to blog more I guess, especially on a day like today! I am really extremely exceptionally wordy..... LOL HA! So hear me whine!!!! ahahahahahhahaahah!!! :P

well no.... I don't really whine, if I do that'll be once a year, probably.... so I am just going to say some thing that's random.... hope I won't bore you too much!!

Yesterday I picked up a package from PO, which I knew was the new little purse that I got from Etsy earlier.... as always, I was excited for these good mail days since well... eversince I found sources here for my gems I rarely get parcels in mail anymore, and by looking at my "stash" of lampworks, I've been holding back at buying more of those as well.... so I haven't had many good mail days.......

I'll have to say this.... much to my surprise, I was really impressed with the lovely purse that I got!!!! Here it is!!




I know it doesn't look like much, and since this seller was having FREE Shipping Worldwide offering, I thought why the hack.... just a little something for myself.... along with this bag I also picked up 2 key ring with recycled snake skin belt!!

Here's the link to said seller Bagavond Bags http://bagavondBags.etsy.com , all these, the bag, the key ring, were all made from recycled leather!!!! I know that sounds "scary" to some, but I honestly cannot tell that these are recycled materials!!! To say the least, I am impressed!!! Seller used extra solid padding for the bottom of the bag, the interior thick silver satin is pure luxury! Plus the extra little side slide pocket is for sure a plus, closed with magnetic snap, 2 handle of recycled snake skin belt. Heavy hardware, with all stitches lined up and no loose thread! I can't even start to tell you how happy a surprise this was!!!

I am happily sporting my cute little bag.... though just around the house at the moment, but I am loving it!!! I am looking foward to her new listings for sure!!!!

Let's see... what else..... hmm...

Well, updates with my jewelry...... this is what I am currently working on, been slaving at this one for a few days last week, then it's been put on hold since... well I am still trying to think what I should do to it.... not certain just yet but hopefully I should get it done soon.....

I also have a Lab necklace (yes more Labradorite!!! LOL ) with photos that needs to be retaken, then 2 new rings that I should add to my poor wee-listed Etsy shop, also need to retake photos... sigh.....

Anyway, that's it for now! Hopefully I can make this into a regular habbit! :D

So.... it's that time of the year, where I do my annual good deed...

Share the Joy at Landmark here at Hong Kong started on November 26th, 2008. As always, I was invited to take part of this fund raising, which has always been fun for me, to be able to interact with potential buyers, though I wish that I could have spend more time there on site myself...

Anyway, here are some photos from the set-up this year, along with some Christmas decoration around Landmark. A lot of attention to details, quite lovely as always...

this is from one side of the booth, with a door behind me.


Here it is, photo taken right infront of the booth...


not the best photo, but you get the idea...

Now here are some photos of The Landmark mall with Christmas decoration this year. The theme this year is basically gold....

sky line, where you can see the Christmas tree, as well as the ceiling decorations.

here you can see the center court, where at a distance the booth can be seen as well....

this is the ceiling height Christmas tree this year....

so yeah.... this is where I've disappeared to, and for the next month! LOL

Though with all that's going on in the world financial market, I was not sure how things will be, yet from the past few dyays on site, seems like local economy is not quite heavily affected, beter than expected is all I can say so far, so we'll see.....

I'll be back with more updates soon! :)

XOXO
