Celebrate

Two weekends ago, the suburb next to where I live had a fair and the highlight was the fireworks at the end of the day. Here are a few photos I took and some quotes to go with it. Enjoy!

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate ~ Oprah Winfrey

Celebrate we will because life is short and sweet for certain we're climbing two by two to be sure these days continue ~ Dave Matthews

 Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle! ~ Stevie Wonder

From Bracelet to Bags

Of all jewelries, bracelets are my favorites but I also happen to have a phobia of wearing one. You see, I have lost so many bracelets from the most precious to the not so precious. So you can just imagine my fear of losing a bracelet everytime I wear one. 

Lately, I have been so obsessed with Pandora bracelets but I'm just so scared to wear one in case I'd lose it again. So I decided to make myself a "pandora-like" bracelet that I can wear daily without having to stressed out! 

I'm no jewelry designer and I don't think I have the "flair". So I can make only something as simple as this. 

But then my obsession doesn't end there. The beads are just so cute that I decided to hang them in every one of my Tote Bags I call "Tala" (meaning 'Star'). Here they are, aren't they cute?   

Stop the Clock

Oh no, it's five more weeks to go before the show and things are getting a little bit crazy around my studio. Can we slow down time? The days are going so quickly, it's already mid March. Can you believe it? Someone please stop the clock!

I thought of not stressing out because no matter what, I can only work at my own pace. I can not compromise the quality of my work. You see I have this habit of designing as I go and this actually takes extra time. Even if I had planned ahead, I always end up changing some of the designs or tweaking it a little bit. Whether this is a good or bad habit, all I know is that if I make changes, I am always happy with the finished product.

The mood nowadays is simply ... busy. No time to muck around! 
But of course, I can always spare a few minutes to take beautiful shots just like this flower.

My Stars for Today

I'm a Pisces and this is my horoscope for today:

In theory, life is simple. It is full of things to be sought after. You just have to choose what you want and then try to get it. If you are successful, you can allow yourself to be happy. If not, you can set your sights on some other objective. In reality, there is a complication. We don't always know what we want. Nor do we always know what would be best for us. This weekend brings you a development from which you can only profit, at every level, in every way. You just have to be smart enough to recognise it when it occurs.

hmmmm ... so does this mean it is sewing time this weekend? Sew to sell and make profit? :-) 

Mini Messenger Bags

These are so cute, you can have I for each day and never get enough of it. Great for a casual weekend to the movies or at the markets! 

Don't be deceived by these beauties. Inside it has roomy interiors enough for an 'obese' wallet, keys, makeup and more. Plus generous pockets for those other stuff!

These minis measures 10" x 8" x 2". Watch out for the launch at the Sydney 2010 Stitches and Craft Show in April ... more updates to come!
