"......I have to say I love the ring! I made one very easily following your step by step instructions and it came out more beautiful than I could have expected!
I've since made a couple more. I need to buy some more supplies so I can get more of a variety. Thank you again for all the work you put into writing your concise tutorials. They make it so much fun to make jewelry! Genny"

Thank you Jenny for sharing this Sparkly Crystal Ring of yours ;D
Happy weekend all!

Feel the Blue-Blue Themed Wire Wrapped Bracelet

Sunday is gone! gone! Been feeling blue, green, green and pink for the last two days. That's because I have been making these type of wire wrapped bracelets the last few days. One thing about wire wrapping these type of bracelets is that I got to use some of my odd bead collection. Beads that I do not know what to do with as they are in odd numbers. Sometimes there is only one of them :) This piece here is wrapped mostly with 22ga wire and measures about 19cm but extendable to 20cm as I added 3 jump rings at the end.

Feel the Green - Green themed Wire Wrapped Bracelet

Green is the theme today. This one measures about 19cm, extendable to 20cm.

Wire Wrapped Bracelet - Green & Pink Themed

It's almost noon (Sunday) and I haven't been doing much. Went to the Sunday Market this morning and bought more than ten magazines. Looks like I need to put aside some time for reading which means less time for other things including wire jewelry.

I really really need to sort out my time and reorganize how I use them. The biggest issue is too little time but so many things to do.

Do you have the same problem?
Hmmm...now I am off to find some time to sort out my time problem.

At least I managed to get this bracelet done yesterday.

Happy Sunday everyone!

More Food and Headache

No! Food don't give me headache. No wire jewelry last Sunday as it's all about food and lying in bed. Was supposed to enjoy these food but no appetite due to headache. Only tried 2 pieces. What a waste! MIL prepared this "Potato Cake". Actually we don't know what to name it so came up with the simplest and easiest. Supposedly a very very old recipe and you can't find the recipe in any cookbook (confirmed by a recipe book collector....hmmm I wonder). Look at the brass mould used....its antique and very very heavy. Taste? YUMMY....even with headache. This second set of pictures is of homemade KAYA. Heavenly Kaya! One of my favorite. It's our local "jam". Best taken with bread/toast. Main ingredients are coconut milk, sugar and eggs. Easy!..ohhh but not so easy. This homemade Kaya is better than any Kaya in town. One day I hope to be "Kaya" (Rich) making homemade Kaya....LOL

Back to Wire Wrapped Pearl Bracelet

Oh well, I'd rather stick with wire jewelry rather than baking although they are 2 different things all together. Just didn't get that "feeling" after baking as compared to making wire jewelry. Made this pearl bracelet after baking the Hong Kong Cake this afternoon. Have a wonderful weekend all!

Hot from the Oven - 1st after more than 25 years

My first Hong Kong Cake! Yeah! If I remember correctly, this is my first cake after more than 25 years. My first and last cake was baked when I was a teenager. Failed miserably that I decided not to bake anymore. Never good with baking and cooking anyway or maybe I just don't have much interest until yesterday when I thought why not give it another try with aunt-in-law guidance :) Aunt is very well known with her kueh making and baking skill. It didn't take long to make this cake - less than 2 hours. The cake turned out quite well although it would be better with a smaller pan. All in all, actually my input is only about 20% or less :) but I am still happy nevertheless. More baking for me?.................maybe...:D
