Happiness is........

.....when the boys are happy and I am with them...yes simply that! Yesterday I took William and Henry to MV Doulus. Doulus is stopping over in Kuching till 3rd Jan 2009. Been here since 10th Dec. The last time I was on it was more than 5 years ago when William was still in my" womb" :). They have never been on a "big" ship before so this is such a special occasion for them.

Facing the Cobra II - Braided Cuff

This time around I made sure I snap lots of photos of this 2nd Braided Cuff (Facing the Cobra II). Reason being I forgot how I wire wrapped and weaved the first Facing the Cobra Cuff. Yeah! It happens all the time...:). Anyway, this 2nd cuff turned out better than the first one. Took me longer this time around because while wrapping it, I don't know how it should finish. It took shape as I work along.

Wire Woven Earrings

Simply wire woven hoops earrings. This is my first hoops.

Back to Wire Weaving and Adjustable Ring

This is sort of like a challenge for me. A customer requested for a cab wrap ala Eni's Square Cab Ring but it has to be adjustable ala Louise's woven wave bypass ring. Was not sure whether I can do it or not but I gave it a try last night and Yippi! its possible. As can be seen here, the square bead is wrapped according to Eni's Square Cab Ring method while the shank is according to Louise's adjustable woven ring method. It was not easy but it is possible. Planning to make another one again.

Want to Know How to Catch Crabs?

We used to do this a lot before the boys came along. I think it's earlier than that....about 10 years ago. Hubby and I love to go out fishing, prawn fishing or catch crabs. Then we got busy, then came the first baby then the second and now they are little boys and we are even busier. And of course, in between that I got addicted to wire jewelry....hehehe... Anyway, today hubby decided to go catch crabs and asked me to tag along. So, we did just that (took the older boy along - William). First we went to purchase six crab traps and a stingray head for baiting. Here are pictures showing the whole process....

Weaving my Heart Away

Am at weaving again and enjoying it very much. Someone saw the adjustable woven ring I made as gift for my friend the other day and requested for similar ones and here they are. Identical twins ha? :) Not reallylah! but they are woven with gold filled wire. The best thing about adjustable rings are you don't have to worry about the perfect fit. One size fits all! Easy on me and easy for the wearer.
