HI everyone! :)

just to keep you all updated with what i have in store for you right after i am done with my project. Other than busy with the project that i will announce soon, i am in the mids of several other projects planned till end of this year.

As we go thru our life, i am sure we will always remember our first love, first car, first house, first of everything. When i made my first online sale, i can remember feeling very excited, nervous, scared about my customer's reaction all rolled into one huge ball bouncing around the pit of my stomach and chest. Sort like falling in love, right? hahaha

ok, Today i am making another first. My first export. A contact i made online who is now a very good fren and online chat partner, has given me the task of finding beads and stones for her own growing business overseas. I just love shopping, especially when using other people's expense account! All the beads and stones packed and i am sending it onto her way soon :)

Moving on to the pics i have uploaded here, these are still works in progress and to be completed and launched into my blog just before NEW MOON, sometime in november. Yup this collection is a follow up from the TWILLIGHT series. I am still playing around with the beads and design, so we will see what will actually emerge from my head :)

till then, thank you for your continuous support and keep a close watch for the next big thing coming soon :)

Holiday is over...back to crafting!

hi frens,

i MISS crafting...today i went to visit all my favourite places to see whats new and before i start on new projects i PLEDGE to finish 4 more orders i have in hand that was given some flexibility to me to undertake once i have settled. BUT before i start on my PLEDGE (hehehe...bit funny to me to do this first before that and before that to do something else first....i am NUTS!] i will need to organize the "chaos" i have created since Ramadan. Need to do some spring cleaning. i give myself a day to do that and then i will fulfill my pledge :)))

i see that its almost 10 days since i posted anything and tot will have tons of pics to post but luck has definitely been on my side of late, Alhamdulillah, because on the last day of the bazaar, the crowd was incredibly "generous" with me. THANK YOU :))

hope everyone's holiday break and raya celebration was as superb as mine.

take care n ....tata :))

p/s after the 4 orders, look out for new ones.....clue , they r pink, they r grey....gorgeous combo

My FAMILY

Its almost 3 weeks since we started this "crazy fabulous idea" of participating in a bazaar organized by Kelab Darul Ehsan. During this time we have become gypsy-like toting our XXXL luggages.

The experience has so far been good even though there were days when we just see the crowd pass us by as if we were invisible. Are we doing it again next year? hmmmm.......as my hubs said, down memory lane ,we will forever remember this year as the year we did that crazy thing! :)

I know the bazaar hasn't ended yet, but i have to say my prayers of thankfulness and much gratitude to my family who has been very patient and very supportive:

1. My husband, who helped to do the laundry, and more laundry and more laundry while i was busy twisting and cutting wires, who is kind enough not to say anything even when he hears "hammering" sounds in his dream when in fact they are REAL sounds coz i was indeed hammering at 2,3 4 am! , who helped to transport our XXXL luggage and jewelry frame board, who stayed with us to help man the booth even though convinced that he is scaring potential customers because of his "large" presence. The list goes on...... you did too much babe n love you for it! :)

2. My MIL, whom i hope enjoys the "company" of our crazy kids. She also takes care of the kids during break of fast. HOW can we ever repay that ?! MUM *hugs

3. My MUM, who is my #1 customer!.....*hugs

4. My SIL, who encourages us to "terjun jer dulu". Thank you for your patience too, $upport and help in promoting W&Q.

5. My Sisters n BIL, oh yes! very $uportive....thanks! :)

6. My kids, nieces and nephew. Thank you for your help carrying everything, thank you for not grumbling, thank you for not complaining, thank you for having the most fun! running around the club and i hope you all enjoy this crazy experience :)

i think that is about it! :))))

xox :)

i would like to introduce my apprentice, obi wan "aisyah" kenobi, trained by master YodaM....hehehehe

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES! :)

hi!

now, who can remember who said the phrase "a thousand apologies"...?

clue: very funny british sitcom.

anyway, that is exactly what i would like to say to my gentle readers. I have made several new items but due to time constrain i am unable to post any of the pictures yet....even some sold without me being able to take a photo of it!..... i did manage a little bit of time to take the photo of the tournaline nuggets before it was whisked away and even that justice wasn't done because it was taken with no proper lighting and ....ehem...ehem....without background studio feel ...hehehehe but no worries, i received another order for the same style and WILL be sure to take a better snapshot of it kay :)

i also made many many many more bracelets using recently imported in polymer clay beads and chinese crystals under http://pebblesforkids.blogspot.com label. these are for now available at the KDE RAMADAN BAZAAR only that pictures are not taken so no postings yet, sorry.

lastly, i would like to say how much i appreciate to those who patiently waits for their orders. Thank you for your support and encouragement AND patience, *hugs :)

xox :)

Hi frens,

I miss doing my wire crafting work so much! but there are so many things to do to prepare for the "in2wire craft" workshop.

Response for my "in2wire craft" workshops is beyond my expectation. As i like to say about this workshop, it is a "knowledge sharing" thing.

Ramadhan is just around the corner and there will be no workshops because i am committed to another event which i will announce soon.

Workshops will resume after Hari Raya . if you are interested, just email me and i will email you the dates and details. so the big kahuna question is, "what will i learn from this FREE "in2wire craft" workshop? :)

well, to find out the answer , come and join my "in2wire craft" workshop!

lets work the wire!

p/s "in2wire craft" workshop is a group event. Individual sessions conducted are more casual and for those who are already well verse in beading and jewelry craft and need to sharpen their knowledge in jewelry making. When making bookings please state which you prefer, group or individual sessions kayy :)

Looking Forward to this...

LOVING IT!

hi frens and fellow bloggers ,

its been such a mixed feelings weekend. Happy, exciting, fun, tiring and sad all mixed into one weekend.

First i met a lovely lady who is back here to KL for the summer holidays from Oman. Met her nice husband too and together with my hubs we went for some "show and tell" with regards to wirework jewelry. we had a nice time and lovely lunch. Thank you to both of them for the lovely company.

Then in the evening had dinner with my family at THAI BBQ. Great dinner and after that my family and i adjourned to The Gardens, mid valley megamall. Spent most of the time at Artfriend, another favourite shop of mine but there was a minor glitch when paying and left me terribly upset.....sabar...sabar...

Later late at night, heard the sad and terrible news of the passing of Allahyarhamah Yasmin Ahmad. A brilliant mind, gone to meet her creator. May her soul rest in peace.

Today, early sunday morning, Irfan woke up with a terrible headache and very high temperature. Hubs took him to the clinic and he slept the whole day. My poor little mousy.

Lastly, i finally completed the order from Sabah and left me very satisfied. I was staring at the Blue heart for hours and hours, its my thing. Its the last piece to be completed and I can sketch like a few hundred ways but if it doesnt click...it doesnt click....and then ...CLICK! found the right combination :)

and now as sunday is slowly disappearing into the dark night, i am already very very tired ....i still have a few more orders to be completed. AS i said to a fren, its not that i dont have enough time....i mean everybody has the equal standard 24 hours....its just that, it bumps me coz i gotta sleep! ;)

so to everyone, hope you all had a great weekend and lets look forward to another great week ahead....and SHA, i am a "workaholic"....and LOVING IT! :)

take care, smile always and.....tata

NEW and Improved look!

hi everyone,

i have decided to give this site a MAKEOVER ! i have always

loved polka dots and found this really cute serendipity banner.

I have also added more links from other bloggers and i thank

you all who responded. If you like anything on my site or just

want to get more product information, please email me :)

My readers, many noticed that my prices are on the low side.

This is not due to me using inferior quality stones. I assure you

the stones i use are of good quality, but because i forego my

"working" charges for now i am able to sell to you at a very

good price. The prices for now are my INTRODUCTORY price to you as part of my debut program . MY advice

is, grab it while i am still not adding my working charges because

this offer is going to end soon.

so hurry!......place your order now and it's FREE SHIPPING!! :)

till then...take care and....tata!

:)

M

ALL SMILES :)))))

i am so happy that someone today just received her order and love it!...i am happy when someone else is happy with her order and i wish her all the best and "LUCK" always.

take care sweetie :)
