A Newfound Interest

Jewelry, Stitch Markers And Bookmarks

Time seemed to have passed very quickly for me since Christmas. Many things have happened, and I have been extremely busy with my little kid going to school again after the long break in December, birthday parties, the Lunar New Year celebrated just last week, and.. my love for a newfound hobby, crafting!

I have taken some time off from making napkin rings, and for that I apologize. I know from GA that there are hundreds who come to this blog everyday in search for napkin rings, I am thankful for all the views and orders that I have received, but I am sorry that there hasn't been anything new for quite some time. I will start making some again soon. But for now, I'd like to introduce to you my latest hobby, and that is playing with beads! Or rather, creating more items with them. 

With all the beads that Ive collected during the last year or so since I started making napkin rings and wine glass charms, I've decided to turn them into other useful items. So one day, I sat myself down, armed with my pliers and cutter, some headpins and jump rings, wires and clasps, I started making.. jewelry!

I have to admit they aren't that great, but I sure had a lot of fun making them. And with a few lessons that I took later, I managed to learn a thing or two about jewelry making. It has been fun and I think I might do this a little longer :)

Anyway, apart from jewelry, Ive also made some cute stitch markers and bookmarks. Since I have all the beads why not make full use of them? Ive also started paying more attention to my Etsy shop. For those who arent familiar with it, Etsy is an e-commerce website which focuses mainly on handmade, vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. Let's see where that takes me. But as for now, Im just really having a great time crafting! Maybe I'll have a tutorial soon on jewelry making!

A Christmas Gift

 Perfect Little Christmas Gifts

Christmas is only a few days away and it has certainly been a hectic several weeks for all those who celebrate it. Everyone has been busy with Christmas shopping, gift wrapping, tree decorating, mailing that pile of Christmas cards, baking, stockings stuffing, and everything else that people do during this busy time of the year. As for me, I've been having lots of fun making and shipping out Christmas charms and napkin rings for all the orders that I've received since October. The best part about it is that you can find so many pretty things out there during this time of the year. For instance I was out shopping a couple of weeks ago and found these cute little tin boxes at a bazaar. I simply couldn't pass up on the opportunity of using them as gift boxes. Together with the napkin rings and charms, they make such perfect little gifts for this Christmas!! Merry Christmas everyone, may it be a joyous one for all of us!

Pink Hearts

Little Pink Hearts 

I recently had the pleasure of designing wedding napkin rings for a couple in the UK for their wedding in October. They are a romantic couple indeed, choosing the color pink as the wedding theme and opting to incorporate their initials in the design. The sweet white and pink hearts and the little hot pink beads complemented each other well and together they added spice and romance to an otherwise traditional wedding table. Pink is after all, synonymous with love and romance! 

It took me about a week to complete the order, from the delicate process of twisting each wire to carefully packing them individually. It is not a difficult design to make but it sure took a lot of time as some of the processes can be tedious and intricate. But overall, I had a lot of fun designing, purchasing the materials needed, and making those hearts. And I loved it even more when the bride-to-be told me how impressed she was by them and how stunning they looked when she received the package. Another satisfied customer! 

So here's a little poem for you. May your joys be as bright as the morning, your years of happiness as numerous as the stars in the heavens, your troubles but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.

Your wedding day is just the start
Of a lifetime full of love and fun.
It just begins as you take your vows,
When the two of you are joined as one; We wish for you sweet happiness; Through the years, may your love grow,
To warm you both from day to day,
In your marriage’s satisfying glow. - Joanna Fuchs -  

Hope you liked my pink hearts as well. Until the next reading :).
