Earrings for Spring and Chinese New Year - available on Webshop
Happy New Year ! SGD108 (rose red colour)
(14kt gold fill leverback earrings, gold plated bead caps, swarovski crystals, commissioned polymer clay rose)
personal favourite!
My CNY earring collection is finally out ! They were inspired by my need to wear something red and festive that would go with my CNY attire (eg RED! Hahaha!). I met a nice Japanese lady who made beautiful flowers out of polymer clay and commissioned her to make some rose buds for me in a variety of colours. I added my own spin to them and here they are ! Blooms for your ears ! ;)
I will be also introducing a new type of 14kt gold-fill (more expensive than your standard gold plated) earrings in the form of "leverbacks." They have an "closed" part at the back of the earring to provide a bit more security (eg yours truly loosing an earring at a kid's bday party recently when I did not use leverbacks ! I have learnt my lesson!)...Leverbacks are a bit more expensive (more parts, more gold) but they provide extra security and have a bit of a vintage look which was perfect for the designs.
(Leverbacks are indicated where used)
Hope you like them ! :)
Budding Love SGD99 (pink colour)
(Rhodium rhinestone earrings, gold plated bead caps, swarovski crystals, commissioned polymer clay rose)

MERRY CHRISTMAS !
Merry Christmas to everyone and we thank you so much for all your support this year !
See you next year !

Heather and Anna (the red-nosed little girl)
PS. I had a last minute request from Little Colette and restocked heaps of princesses and carebears (new ones not released before) on Wednesday but because it was such a rushed order (they asked me on Monday afternoon!) I did not have time to take pictures :(...
How to mould hard boiled eggs
Step 1: Buy cute egg moulds. I bought mine from Takashimaya B1 Homeware section (two in one packet).
Step 2: Hard boil your eggs (small size is recommended).
Step 3: Peel the egg and while it is still warm, place them into your moulds.
Step 4: Immerse your mould (with egg) into a bowl of COLD water for 10 mins. Make sure cold water covers the mould.
Step 5: Pop open the mould and voila!
Bear and bunny eggs ! You can trim the edges of the egg to make them neater but my kids were bugging me to let them eat their breakfast ...
Mum: "So, what's it taste like guys?"
Anna: "Egg"
Mum: "Yeah, what did you expect?"

How to make Tom Binns inspired earrings
So here's another home based project that will only take you 20 mins (+ 60 mins to dry) !
How to make "Tom Binn earrings" at a FRACTION of the cost ! :)
Step 1: Find/buy a pair of rhinestone earrings
I picked up some from Chomel (yes...I was at Vivocity to see Puss in Boots yesterday and there was a Chomel there ...cough..cough). You can get el cheapo ones from Chameleon or Diva to practice on before using REAL vintage ones if so required ;)
Step 2: Buy some markers or paints
Any colour markers or even your kids' acrylic poster paints will do..I experimented with car enamel paint too ! You will also need a normal sharp point paint brush. Mine is SGD1.95 from Spotlight.
Step 3: Paint your earrings stone by stone
It's a lot easier than you would think it is. Just gently and careful colour the stones with paint ! How simple is that ! I used a pink marker pen for the centre stone and marker pens on sale at Home-Fix-It for SGD1.50 for the other stones.
Step 4: Paint by layers
You can create different colour mixes or intensities if you layer your paints. Eg let each layer of paint dry for 10 mins before painting over it.
Step 5: Seal with Varnish
Spray any paint varnish (or sealant - easily purchased from Art Friend) and leave to dry. I prefer overnight but 1 hour is more than enough...Voila ! Your earrings are ready :)
PS. you can be more adventurous with your colours and use fluorescents... I will be using those for my next pair ! ha ha !
Have a good weekend !

Getting our family photos taken !
The kids' faces change so frequently as they grow (fast!) we thought it was time to quickly "record" their looks before they mature more! Early this morning we trooped down to KidsPictures' studio in Tanglin Mall to set the process going !
Here are some of the pics of the kids posing ! They had incredible fun and it was over in an hour ..Phew!
The team at KidsPictures were super fabulous ! The kids had a ball and enjoyed the experience so much ! Will post a few of the final pics next week ...can't wait !
Have a great weekend ! Now, I have to get back to work ;P
:)
KidsPictures is found at http://www.kidspictures.com.sg/ (They have been taking Anna's school photos for the last 2 years and the only place I know that can make her smile so beautifully!)

Setting up the tree !
Welcome to our tree-decoration affair !
In the beginning, there were only 2 of us...now there are 4 !
Our first Christmas tree, small enough to fit into the bedsit when we were first married :)
Laying out the decorations for the official tree decoration ceremony ! A tradition (since Alex was born) to do this as a family with Bing Crosby singing the Christmas carols :)...mulled wine optional and nowadays non-existent ha ha!
Horsing around while Dad strings up the lights on the tree ;)
Our haphazard tree decorated by a 8yr old and a 4 yr old with supervision (ignored) by a 41yr old..they insisted that the theme of the tree was RED (only) with Santa Clauses everywhere...in the end we have a crazy looking tree but special because it was mainly done by them :)
