~ THE RAMPSTAR QUEEN 2016 GRAND FINALS ~
Don't miss this much talked about event!

March 1, 2016 ~    Hooohaaaaa .... I am so busy on this 1st day of March. I had been rummaging through my drawers and boxes of beads all day and discovering my neglected materials ... almost forgotten hidden in their respective places ! Oooppsssssss

Then I get excited ...  starting to bead .. mix and matching the colors and noticing my beadng table getting cluttered as I create . Oh well, a scene like this happens all the time when I'm very occuppied with beading . So typical .See what it looks like having a work table like this below after few hours of beading ?



I try to minimize the mess but .. unfortunately,  the more I add materials to my work, the more beads and tools get scattered everywhere .So never mind... I'll just clear it up once I'm done with my mission. Yes... I just said " MISSION " and not an impossible one eventhough I have a deadline !. LOL!

What's my mission ?  Ok, for sponsorship purposes, I need to create at least 8 sets of Necklace + Earrings for minor prizes  and 5 sets for the Major Prizes in the upcoming " THE RAMPSTAR QUEEN 2016 GRAND FINALS " this coming Sunday. Check out their Facebook page here ! 

So far, I had already created the 8 minor prizes and had nicely tagged them in red boxes with my logo of course. For the Major ones, I had created 2 sets so far ... so 3 more sets to be done before Sunday comes. I wanted to create designs in different categories so each of the 5 mahor winners will receive a set different from the others. No jewelry set would be exactly the same.



 Lucky me,  I still got plenty of time to do some stringing, weaving & wire wrapping. So expect that in the next 2 more days, I would be very busy infront of my beading table ! My only rest would be to come downstairs, water my plants , talk to Koda not to dig the garden for Yamashita Gold and do a mud bath like she often does when I'm away and pat my dear Gabby. Then play with them a bit and make sure they have enough water and food to keep them happy while I am upstairs doing my crafts.

Gabby loves her pats.

Partners in crime ... thinkin what they can do for the day !

I love the way Gabby sits ... LOL!

Naughty Koda after digging the garden and having a mud bath !

Ok... You wanna play Fetch ?

My life at home is never dull as you can imagine. Dogs, Beads, plants keep me busy day in... day out. It's good coz I need the exercise anyhow or else my legs would suffer from water retention from long time sitting. Then, that's bad ... real bad for my health coz I have a mild case of DVT ! So I try my best not to make it worst .

So I better move around ... no choice ! Moving around for me includes partying and attending these busy events... Ha ha. I got good reasons to go out haven't I ?

Truthfully, I'm very excited to be part of this event for the 1st time. My dear friend Ms. Pamela Wildheart Pilapil had organized it and I'm more than grateful to support her and my fellow Filipinos joining the event.

YES!

 Happy Chinese new year 2016. 

Year of the Monkey



 "Best Wishes and Greetings, Much Wealth and Prosperity" for the coming year !

Feb. 28, 2016 ~ I know Chinese New Year happened over 2 weeks ago but still, not so late to greet all of you out there since it's still month of February. I had been so busy doing things here and there as usual and didn't manage to have time to write here. Did you miss me ? 

Anyways, what's new around here ? Let's see ...


My own designs pictured below looks almost similar to the H&M Spring Collection but with a more personal touch . Why ? It's because I created my earrings and necklace based on the top I was wearing. Aren't they color matching ? Nice wasn't it ?.





I was wearing my own creations while attending a luncheon few days before the newspaper article came into publication. Geeezzzz... I was  in fashion without even realizing it ...  Cool ! 



Below are some of my latest designs  created for February brewing a storm of orders from my friends here and abroad. Thanks so much again for the admirations and support !

Price : SGD$35 ( Available )

Price : SGD$55.00 / set  ( Sold Out )

Price : SGD$35  ( Available )

Many many thanks also to some of my dear friends who had worn my creations during their events this month of February. Way to go ladies ... you all rock !

January 31, 2016 ~  With a heavy heart, I now say goodbye to my birthday month of January . Embedded in my heart and mind were some real happy moments day in .. day out .



 It started with a week of parties . O dear , imagine me dressing up in animal theme and painting my face as a pussycat or tiger or lion... I dunno, you tell me . I guess I did a good job with the animal make up because even
my husband had a smile on his face when I was going out with a face like that in broad daylight ... I'm full of guts .. lmao!





 I look back to the past events over the last 4 weeks and I can happily say that being among friends and loved ones near and far are  my most treasured moments. Some days are mild... some are wild ... some were wacky but  it was pure fun ! We eat n eat n eat n gossip... then laugh at each other's misfits ! and lots of  picture taking ... awwwwwwww ... don't use flash please LOL!




 My friends... their presence and thoughts had given me priceless pleasures.
Thank you my beautiful loving buddies !

Although I have a request ladies, please slow down a bit as I have a hard time scheduling myself to the busy potlucks and parties LOL!  I'm not a young girl anymore who can easily drag myself in high heels here n there you know ... especially when I have no escort .... ssshhhhhhhhh  .... but I love parties and ladies nights... it's my weakness so I hardly say no to invites ...  tsk tsk ! I feel hopeless to say no when I hear the word PARTY ! Can you blame me for being so submissive to parties ?  Uh oh ....

!



I'm a party animal  driving with my makeup on and gasoling station attendant staring and  asking me if I have a party to go to that he needs to quickly fill up the car tank . Ha ha ha !!!


Also, I would like to thank all of you who had shared the time to celebrate my birthday with me.
Your presence is well appreciated and thanks to all of you for all the wonderful momentos and gifts too. Wooaahhhhhh I love them all .... Thank you.. thank you... THANK YOU!



I do hope all of you who had attended my bday party at home had received my token of appreciation which I  had individually handmade for you during the event.




The beautiful focal pendants made of Mother of Pearl ( MOP ) of this seed bead necklace were ordered in Cebu , Philippines and personally delivered to me by my dear friend Ms. Mentin Oreel a few years back. All the focals were individually wrapped in plastic and kept in my drawer for several years until I finally found them again while I was thinking of making necklaces to make for my party give aways. They're a perfect souvenir item after I had made the necessary chains in a variety of glass seed beads.
The different colors of the chains had easily matched their sarong outfits and color preferrences !


Once again, the party is not complete without a quick trip to my beadroom by my jewelry sassy friends. Curious as always of what I had been creating in there and excited to grab whatever they could find. Some of them had bought a few pieces and some had ordered certain designs in their desired colors and shapes. Whewwww... lucky I can always alter to satisfy their taste although sometimes it costs me more sleepless nights trying to attend to all the details to fit their  styles. In the end, it's always satisfaction for them and for me once the items were done , delivered, accepted and worn to their respective occasions. Mission accomplished always give me a sense of satisfaction and relief.
A happy customer is always my top most priority !

These are some of the items that had gone to happy buyers for January so far and I got more pending orders to accomplish in the next few days ... I will be as busy as ever ... and for me , that's great !






















Many thanks again for all the people who patronage and continously support my handmade crafts. 

Cheers !!!
