Crystals Brooch & Bracelet

Went for holidays last week and stop by beads and crystals shop...the display on the walls were so attractive and shiny!!! Crystals with all sorts of colours and shape and size... I saw this crystals brooch made on the safety pin...not those safety pin on the diapers!!.. Been very curious how it was made!!

Brooch made from stones and crystals

As it was raining as well and waited for the rain to stop.... the shoplady was very kind to show me how the brooch was made.. she show me kinda straightforward and simple one ... the method....and in the end.. I ended up borrowing money from my friend and spent hundreds on buying the materials and crystals!!! Of course it was not the real Swarovski crystals.. but it was Grade 2 crystals.. the real one would be to expensive for me to buy...and it break too it fell down....
So went to bookstore and bought two beading books and came home and start doing the brooch and the bracelets...
Handmade some brooch for my colleauges and custom made some crystal bracelet from orders!!! Can't believe I got order so soon!! Thanks!!


Simple brooch as souveniers for my colleauges

For the bracelets.. at the moment I only know 4 styles..so kinda limited..but for me.. simple is nice.. the more complicated it is.. meaning the more crystals you gonna use.. n the price definitely will be higher..furthermore.. as I am a beginner...my crystals were bit limited as well!! However, compare to the store in town..my charges are much more lower than them.. but that doesn't mean my crystals are very poor quality.. I am honest enough to say mine are grade 2 crystals...ahahah

Wedding Anniversary Cake for Riana

Last 2 weeks were the school holidays and just when I started wanna to enjoy.. I fell terribly sick and had been stuck in the nest for 2 days...Then I received message from Riana asking whether I could make her a cake...and I agreed and confirmed with her thru facebook what cake and fruits she wanted...
So went to supermarket to look for the fruits and then started the cake baking process... and voila when I done...n was actually 2 hours later...I realized that I baked the wrong cake... Riana wanted a blueberry cheesecake and I baked her a Blackforest cheesecake!! A very serious mistake that a baker should not make!!!
Luckily kind Riana is fine with the cake and was happy with it too!! I really felt bad....but promise to myself .. such mistake should not repeat again!! Coz.. I may not meet a kind and wise buyer in the future!!!
