Final Resting Place - AhKong (Grandpa)

AhKong left us for almost 3 weeks already. Yesterday, we visited him and took picture of his "Palace" here. Almost done except for his picture which should go on the oval shaped slot on the tombstone.

R.I.P Ah Kong! We miss you very much.

Wire Wrapped Sparkly Bracelets

Just completed these sparkly bracelets. The one on the left is wire wrapped with 14k goldfilled wire while the one on the right is sterling silver wire. All beads are 8mm donut shaped Swarovski Crystals. They measure between 17cm to 21cm in length.

Its late, so good night/morning for now...zzzzzzzzz!

Pearl Earrings, Rose Earrings & Rose Ring

Another simple earring design to go with the pearl bracelets made yesterday. Opps! I should make another one for the blue pearl bracelet..Duh! I love this pair of Rose Earrings. They are easy to make. However, you will need to know how to make the Rose Ring first though. The ear hook is not separate from the rose. They are all in one piece of wire :) Maybe I should come up with a tutorial for this pair of earrings. What do you think? The Rose Ring Tutorial is available at my Etsy Shop if you are interested.

Wire Wrapped Pearl Bracelets

Two simple wire wrapped pearl bracelets for sis-in-law. I made her two pearl necklaces back in 2007 (wow! it has been that long! time really flies) and only now she requested for the bracelets. Will be posting more later.

Sago Worms for Dinner!

Fat and buttery sago worms for dinner last night! No! William didn't take any of them. I forced him to smile for the camera though :) I tasted one of them last year but that was the first and last for me. Not that it tasted bad, but the wormy look is a turnoff.

Anyway, these deep fried Sago Worms were for Audrey, who is back from NZ for the funeral. She listed down all the food she'd like to try out while here and these Worms are one of them. Didn't manage to take pix of the worm in her mouth though. We were too busy looking at her reaction and forgot all about taking pictures.

But like me, its her first and last Sago Worm!...LOL
Threw out the whole plate after that as no one is brave enough to try them out.

Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant by Emily

Emily did it again! I posted her other creations before - Wire Wrapped Tulip Pendant, Athena's Shield, Caged Herringbone Weaved Bead, Sparkly Ring and Rose Ring. She is getting better and better each day. Just look at her Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant below. Honestly, her butterfly looks prettier than mine :) Well done Emily! and thank you for sharing.
