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

Back to Sparkly Crystal Rings

People really can't get enough of these sparklies. Just completed 32 of this Sparkly Crystal Rings.
In record time I must say - about 4 hours.
I must say this is my best selling ring so far. Lost count of how many I made since started. Guess women love the sparkles.

If you would like to learn how to make this ring, tutorial for this Sparkly Crystal Ring is available at my Etsy Shop. It is not difficult to make but will make great gift.

Still with Sparkly Wire Wrapped Bracelet

For the last few days/weeks I have been making these similar kind of sparkly wire wrapped bracelet. I hope you are not bored :D This time around I used 22ga wire (top pix) and I found that I prefer this one rather than the 24ga wire used on the earlier bracelets. I am quite please with the clasp too (bottom left pix).

More Wire Wrapped Sparkly Bracelets

Been trying to wire wrap as much as I could this weekend but still not happy with my speed. I only managed to complete these two sparkly bracelets. Both are wire wrapped 6mm bicone Swarovski Crystals and Butterflies. They shall be on the way to NZ soon :)

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!
