my beading diary #1 beaded cardholder

taking a break off baking (cant understand how my parents can associate my illness with baking :( ) but i am planning to bake soon! some of my supplies at home are expiring soon, so hopefully this excuse will work! haha!

now that i am not baking during my 2 months mc, i have to turn to my other hobbies like reading and beading... spend a couple of days tidying up my beading material trolley... as i havent been beading for a while, dust accumulated and hence, have to empty out the 4 drawers and wipe all the boxes and bags one by one... still have some sorting out to do, coz i have been buying new materials every now and then, but have not been diligently been packing them into the right boxes...

aside to Cathy and Jasmine if u are reading this post... i have yet to send the cupcake rings to u! i still remember it! so sorry! I will be going to get some stamps and post them out real soon! btw Jasmine, i dun think u have me ur add for me to mail the ring to u wor... pls email ur addy to me at peihwa82@gmail.com :)

i love to make 3D figurines using crystal beads... some of the previous ones i made are all packed up in boxes as i am sourcing for some new furnitures and fixtures for my bedroom... made a Sanrio Tuxedo Sam character, but got the sailor hat on the wrong side :( gotta undo it another time and redo.. will post a pic when i am done ya!

in the meantime, here's a pic of some cardholder i made previously and recently... these cardholder holds a ezlink card snugly and are made of acrylic round beads... its quite time consuming to do these, as all are tollay handbeaded by urs truly :)

my baking diary #36 agar agar

taking a break off baking, but can still do some non-baking stuff... coz of my recent illness, it had gave me a chance to meet up with friends i lost touch with for a couple of years, in particular my dear polymates...

we been through alot together during our 2 years as classmates and project mates... working on projects after school, weekends etc... last we met was kim's wedding like 2 - 3 years back... after which, we were all busy with our own life, be it work, family, etc...

knowing i am not feeling well (i am feeling loads better acutally) and that i am on 2 months MC, we took this time to meet up... since i cant bake, i decided to make some agar agar, and try out the new piggy silicon mold i bought!

 

Though i did not make alot, but i spend quite sometime on doing these agar agar... piggies' eyes, ears, nose, and all the different colourings to make it all really colourful! i like the piggies ones especially, so cute right?

I hope to get some baking done soon, before i start losing interest in it... haha

hiatus...

though i will be staying at home, yes not working, since early June to early August, its not the best time for me to do any baking... am supposed to be resting and recovering from an recent operation... though i may feel ok, but my parents will definitely not agree to me doing any baking due to whatever reason they can think of... sigh... its so boring staying at home with nothing to do... and i feel tired if i am out too often (though doctor do not encourage staying at home)...

how i miss baking when i see all the bakes fellow bloggers are posting... *drools*

hopefully i'll recover soon enough with minimum follow up visit required...
