Ready to Roll

Gosh, has it seriously been THAT long?

I have no idea what happened, but the time has just flown by.  I guess a month-long visit to Singapore, and coming back to Wimbledon, settling into routines, and now preparing MAYA & RUHI for the holiday season, just takes its toll.  On the blog.

I am otherwise very excited to report that I have put ink to paper with regards to setting up shop for a day at the historic Old Spitalfields Market on October 13th.  So right now, I am super busy getting enough stock crafted up, and getting ready the nitty-gritty, like having enough packaging, effective signage, earrings stands, mirors...  Really, you can never be too ready.

It's cold, wet and dark today.  But I feel so good about winter approaching, for some reason.  As nice as it is to enjoy a warm summer day picnicking in the park, I like a cold, wet autumn day for cosying up at home by the heater, and getting down to some housework and crafting. :)

Some of the new Klimts that will be at Old Spitalfields come October 13th!

All Hol-ed Up

It's Easter break.  And it's a good thing we're keeping busy...

There's a family trip to Paris (Mixed Fruit Tart, here I come!), a week-long art workshop for Ruhi, and a school trip for Maya to Naples to explore the ruins of Pompeii and trek Mount Vesuvius (O_O, I know!).

I also got Ruhi a new Lego kit (even I get really into it.  Right now, we're looking into various designs for a treehouse), and Maya will also be busy raising funds for her adventure trek in Morocco come October.

So, no time to get bored and get on each other's nerves. :)

Thing To Do Today

Well, according to my daily horoscope, I should be having a relatively difficult day, and that I should not fret about it, and let the nasties run its course. And rightfully so, I am in a bit of rut cranking out the new collection.

With concepts, designs and samples down pat, the real work begins. I am so "let's-move-on-to-the-next-design-shall-we?", I get bored having to make the other side of a pair of earrings. Now that I have to make one or two more pairs of each prototype design, I am certainly not quite the excited bunny. >_<

But I shall sit myself at the worktable now, and get my arse in gear, one way or the other.

So here's to leaving it all up to The Way It Is. With a little help from Me, Myself and I.

Thing To Do (For The Next Couple Of Days)

Maya has mid-term holidays, so we're off to the resort island of Sentosa for a short break. No jewelry, no emails, no crafting, no designing. Just running after Those Two running around Sentosa.

I'll be relaxing this weekend...

...not necessarily by the pool. But now that the KL shipment is out, I am taking some timeout to let the fingerjoints recover, and completely chill out with These Two.

I'm relaxing this weekend...

I have not sat at the worktable, not bent a single wire. Nice, once in a while to just stay away from work.

Give this a lot of thought...

Thing To Do Today

Make myself a cup of long black, and curl up with my VOGUE...

...even if it's just for half and hour... :)

Thing To Do Today

Meditate on this gorgeous mandala... its unifying centre, the journey of the "micro to macro", and the wholeness the we are in and that we are made of...

Then print and colour you own here!
