Offwire: Picnic, Stream and Pebbles

We were back to our favorite weekend spot last Sunday - a small stream in Borneo Highland, about an hour drive from the city. This time around, we did more planning (Yeah! most of the time we don't plan. We just decide on the spot and jump into the car). So, instead of the normal junk food (chips and more chips), we decided to do a bit more this time - Barbecue! Just need more preparation the night before such as marinating the chicken wings, prepare the charcoal, drinks, clothing, etc.etc...In the end, everyone enjoyed the trip.

The gang on the way to the other bank.

Starting the fire and the yummy chicken wings, potatoes and buns (not in pix) and sausages :). They are really yummy especially when you are hungry...Too bad we didn't find any sweet corn at the market that morning.

For all the planning, we forgot the cups. So ended up using the polystyrene cover as replacement!

While the rest went upstream to the hot spring, I stayed behind to look after our belongings.

What else can I do? Well, I did a bit of camwhoring...hehehe....

The water is only knee deep, very clear and lots of pebbles. Collected some but didn't take any picture.

On the way home, we stopped by a Bidayuh longhouse. Marcia took picture next to a cage full of skulls. Souvenirs from the head hunting period, probably more than 100 years ago.

Some villagers on the way to church, probably in preparation for the coming Christmas celebration.

Do You Still Remember This...?

...Clay Jeani, Pearl and Turquoise from Szarka?
Finally managed to take pictures of this completed necklace today.
Completed this more than a week ago but yeah! took me a while to snap these pictures.
Anyway, I used up almost all the pearl and turquoise and of course the Clay Jeani Pendant.
The finished piece is quite heavy but love it nevertheless.
I'll leave you with the pictures.....

Hmm...I should have made matching earrings and bracelet from the left over pearl and turquoise.
Well, that's for another day :)
Thank you Szarka for everything.

Wire Wrapped Jasper Donut Pendant

Seems like everyone is in shopping mood this month. Christmas shopping mood that is! It feels like only yesterday we celebrated Christmas 2009, and now 2010 is nearing its end. Are you in shopping mood as well? What do you want for Christmas? A sling backpacks maybe? Is that a hint? *wink*
I guess this is the best time of the year to shop.
Everywhere I go, I see sales, promotions, giveaways, holiday offers, special offers, etc. etc. 
Some are really very tempting but I'd go shopping early next month after payday :)
Before that, got to make more wire jewelry.
After all no moolah, no shopping!
K! Here is a recently completed piece of wire wrapped donut pendant.
Not sure about the type of stone but I believe its Jasper.

Love this stone as its cool and heavy to the touch. It is now with its new owner.
Hope she is happy and loving it.
You have a great day my dear readers.
