some recent personal projects

When you've been around beads for a few years, you really acquire a stash big enough for you to forget what you even have at all! While sifting through the inventory, I came up with these rustic semiprecious nuggets and beads to string up a earthy toned necklace using this large jade butterfly focal. Lapis lazuli, carnelian, pink opal, rhodochrosite, turquoise, peridot, labradorite, pink ruby and agate among others.

{Butterfly Realm}

Very chinois, no? I haven't decided whether to keep this for myself or let it go yet!

{rose quartz necklace}

Next up is this whopper of a Madagascar rose quartz heart briolette I've been hoarding for a while! See how plump and juicy it is! The colour is a swoon-worthy glowy blush pink with amazing microfacets and free of inclusions. I have two of these 14.5mm pretties and used the larger in this fancy linked necklace interspersed with rose quartz rondelles, freshwater pearls and some swarovski components. Since taking this picture, I have modified the pendant with a wire-wrap bail so it's classier than what you see here. This one is for myself! I may surprise a loved one with the other rose quartz heart in a necklace but no worries, I have plans to lay my hands on more of these pretties for the shoppe too!

Our 2nd good and perfect gift

How did we get from this ....

{Nathan Joshua at 15 months}

to this ?!!!

{19 weeks preggers belly}

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father
of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
-- James 1:17 (NIV)

We've been meaning to share this bit of good news for a while but with a pretty rough 1st trimester and a hyperactive toddler to juggle, blogging just takes a back seat I'm afraid.

So yes the oven has been busy growing a bun the last 4 months and we are expecting a little brother for Nathan in early November! This 2nd bundle of joy may have come somewhat as a surprise but we are thrilled nonetheless for this addition and can't wait for Nathan to have a kid brother. It took us much longer to think up of a name for baby challenger #2 but we have finally decided on one after many a spirited discussion and internet baby name-meaning search. It's gonna be a surprise till nearer the date, so let's just call him Baby C for now.

The next big news is that we are moving!

To a supposedly slightly bigger (i doubt) but definitely nicer home just minutes away from where we are so it's not a big move really? A huge bonus of the new place is having babysitters on standby as it will be just across the road from my parents! So technically we are moving back to the street on which I grew up as a little girl. It feels kinda nostalgic and cosy to know that the kids will be growing up playing on the same street, going to the same shops, taking the train from the same MRT station .... and who knows, they may even attend the same schools I did! Haha!

As you know, we like to challenge ourselves (pun intended) by doing things all at once so the move will take place just before or straight after Baby C's arrival. The last time we nearly killed ourselves was when we moved to our current place within the week of our wedding while hosting overseas guests at the same time. Some people just never learn :)

P.S. Just finishing up some listings of new pieces so do watch out for them!
