a necklace for a special occasion ...

I'll be attending a reception this Saturday and I made this necklace last night whilst watching Grey's Anatomy with hubba ... I have recently developed a new found love for opalites ... and dang! It's going to go SO well with my new blouse! More pics to come this Saturday ... promise! =)

On a slightly different note (well, same difference if you get what I mean) ... I woke up to 7 sales this morning! And I thought waking up to 3 was a pretty electrifying experience! But this, this is just a I'm-so-ecstatic-I-can't-stop-myself-from-grinning-
with-heart-palpitations-and-all kind of feeling! =D

What's a girl to do ...

... when she can't sleep, misses her mum terribly and has been out of jewellery-making action for about a week???

She:

• decides to change the layout of her blog and messes around with HTML codes and stuff to maximise the use of the whole page,
• goes window shopping on etsy,
• replies to emails now and again,
• refuses to give in to the urge to snack at 1.26am,
• IMs with a fellow friend on messenger,
• updates jewellery pics on flickr,
• continues to fight the urge to snack at 1.42am,
• makes a sweet circle-filled bracelet at 1.45am,

• blogs about this at 2.15am
  
• and tries really hard to drift into snoozeyland afterward ...
  

back after a blog break ... and i'm missing my mum ...

Hi everyone, I'm back after a pretty long blog break. The little one came down with the flu but is now back to her cheeky bubbly self.

My mum left today and I'm missing her so much ... I'm so happy she flew all the way to London to spend time with us and she really pampered me during her stay here. I was sooooooo spoilt by her, she made me mean cups of coffee everyday (I swear, she should set up her own cafe, specialising only in coffee ... and it'd be THE most talked about coffee joint in town!), relieved me of my ironing chores and of course, I had an extra pair of hands, eyes and ears everyday and could actually RELAX during the day without worrying about what mischief the little one was up to.

I guess I could look on the brighter side of things at this point in time ... just 5 and a half months more before we make our move back to Singapore. But till then, it sure was wonderful having you around mummy and we all miss you so very, very much ... *MWAH*

PS: How cool is it that my mum is all decked out in my favourite colour combination??? =)
