The Swallow's Amethyst - SGD 88 - Sold

*Only piece!*

I've always had a fondness for bird motif jewellery and these home bound swallows look like they can't wait to get home for the CNY reunion dinner too! Lovely crystal blooms in fuchsia, lavender and rose with a blue lace agate donut and a gemstone cluster of amethyst, pink topaz, garnet, rhodochrosite and freshwater pearls. A joyous necklace with lots of happy colours! :)

I am quite enamoured with how the colours come brilliantly together in this piece :)

Snippets of Life

Saying hello for the first time

Bright eyed on her first excursion out to do Christmas shopping

What is nannie whispering to you sweetheart?

P.S. You turned 1 month that day!

Snug and asleep at Polliwogs

Watching TV with daddy

Enjoying our new Christmas gift courtesy of nannie and raffa!

I'm sorry it's taken me 2 months to get back to blogging, is a new baby good excuse enough?

Juggling 2 very young kids is not very fun, especially with twice the sleep deprivation!

Just last night, the babe spent an hour and a half in the evening crying from colic, fell asleep at 6pm, woke at 7pm, didn't sleep again till 930pm, woke at 12midnight, was put down at 1am, woke at 2am, put down again at 3am.... and after that I lost track of what time it was. Or what day it was.

Thankfully her brother is now in preschool although the major changes of moving home, having a new sibling and starting school have brought back the night wakings with a vengeance so the hubster and I barely see each other in the nights anymore. SIGH. So we came up with 2 mottoes or rather reminders to help keep our sanity when the going gets tough:

1) This too shall pass

2) Eventually they all grow up

Doesn't help with the exhaustion but humour always makes us feel better! :p
