crafty again

at finally, my mom made the sofa cushion covers, took extra cloth from the IKEA long curtains which cut off at the bottom and had enough to cover up. the re-filled cushions were given from pete's current company.

bought the colorful bead necklace from holland village's bead factory on sale! i like that style but did not like as its tooo much for me so i cut some off and mixed with turquiose stones, retailed at SGD5.00 from my home area.

had enough of tough time... almost finished beading the long necklace and got my pete to hold up while he asked me to switch on air con in our room, but the nylon string got away from my damn-clumpy hands. it end up giving all the beads "run and jumped wildly" everywhere. my little ash picked every bead and stored back in my bead box. determined to be finishing the necklace again which took me more than one hour at same time as chatting with friend on MSN.

isn't it pretty???

bad luck!!!

sob... sob... broke my loved jade-pendant that originally craved by the native maori (a member of the aboriginal people of new zealand) that pete bought for me during his performance period. broken thrice and glued back thrice. yeah, it broke my heart. was bought at NZ$120.

ruined jade-pendant

ebay day!!!

damn... soo bulky items to pack for each buyer. but great to make some money from selling the un-wanted items at home than dump them away, agree? and also re-used the recycled ebvelopes and also use the IKEA brown "recycled" wrapping paper (a roll at SGD1.90, can last me for a year)

my first beading ring!!!

today went to beelan's stall @ the forum and to get the sterling ring and beading wire from her. she taught me one try and i do the rest. originally, i bought the maroon bracelet that i don't like to wear as just want the beads only. i transformed it into my beading ring...

formerly the bead bracelet...

and cut off the string and stored in box safety before heading to the forum...

and at finally made the completely ring after 2 hours
