Christmas Baby

Christmas is usually a great occasion for the family to be together and this Christmas we had an interesting guest who arrived a bit earlier than what was expected, my niece Nada.
What a Xmas gift right :). Anew life was born and a new addition to the family girls and potential designer lol.
Couple of more days and a New Year will start. 2011 was a great year however I has been tough for me over the past couple of day but I will not let that deter me from having a great 2012.
On that note I say bye for now.

Happ New Year

2012 Comes with great news and adventures. Jan 2012 I go back to my beloved KL to run workshops from the 10th till the 21st of Jan. Its great to run workshops overseas cause jewellery like all else is influenced by culture and even though the techniques are the same the end result is totally different.

Also new year I am trying a new medium to go with my beloved Swarovski crystals and will publish my work soon and techniques and links to how to use that medium.

My new year resolution list is long but I hope I will get through it all.

WHAT IS YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION?

Spanish Dancer

Couple of days ago I received a nice parcel in the post. Spanish Dancer Earrings Kit by Melissa Ingram I loved the kit it was excellent. I loved the packaging and the instruction manual.
I made this earring and if you look under my Favourite Artists you can find more info about Mel and her work.
She is the first Artist I will feature cause like my self she is from Melbourne.

New day a new life is born

Its been busy over the past few days. My sister is in the hospital having her 5th addition to the family.
Reports say to expect a girl I say lets wait and see lol. Nothing much on the beading except for I have received an interesting Wire style CD and 2 books and I can't wait to bead and play. But for now I have to rest and baby sit till the news arrive lol.

Monday

Today is full of chores and no beading :(. However I did get a lovely surprise in the mail Lillian Chen Wire CD and I had a quick peak and I love it.
Tonight when I am all free I will have a better look and will play with my wire.
Also will work more on my blog and hopefully this week all my basic pages will be finished.

Two more weeks to Christmas

Yesterday I missed working on my blog cause I went beads and findings shopping. I have had a lot of orders lately and trying to keep up. However there is also Christmas shopping for my friends and family. I have to admit I do smart shopping the whole year and I make a list as well which makes my life easier. Today I woke up with a different thought 2011 is nearly over another year has passed, what do I want for next year and my mind went spinning cause for the first time since I was a kid I want too many things. Usually I am very realistic/modest with what I want but this year I want a lot. The question is am I unrealistic in my dreams or wants for this coming 2012 especially 2012 is suppose to be the year of doom and gloom.
Today I will sit down to sort my thoughts into action plans for next year and try to be smart about it.
Would love to know what every ones dreams and thoughts for 2012.

Nice Surprise

It's almost 11 am and I am still feeling sleepy I haven't recovered yet from my nasty flu. The house is full of excitement both my younger sisters are due this month. So I am an auntie for the 7th time lol how interesting.
The beloved noise of my niece Menna and Nephew Adam is filling the place with joy and headache :).
But I am not really there I just received my DHL package from Amazon Japan. My fave beading magazine Beads Friend and Naomi Yogo's new book.
So later today I will post a review of the book and work more on my blog its not an easy job blogging but its fun and I am getting addicted.
Warm hugs from Melbourne
