Paper diamond ring

This huge diamond ring by Label Creators, a Japanese design studio, is much kinder to the wallet. It costs just 840 Yen (USD 9.58/SGD 13) each. I’m thinking that they would make such oh-so-cute wedding favours.

Christmas tree – crochet pattern

As I mentioned earlier that I would be showcasing unique Christmas trees every week until Christmas, let me proceed with these lovely trees designed by June Gibank. Her crochet pattern is available for sale. The bigger tree stands at 5.5″/13.97cm while the smaller one is merely 2.75″/7cm.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and readers! Wishing you every joy on this special day.

Aren’t these the sweetest? I go weak when I see trees with little birdies. Just like when Superman sees kryptonite.

It’s has been raining almost every single day recently and so bad was it last week that my aunt’s car parked in the basement of her apartment was submerged (together with about 100 other vehicles) when heavy rain gushed down into the carpark. The water had to be pumped out so that the cars could be towed. Her car repairs will take a month to complete. Power supply was also affected.

Handmade holiday fair 2009

Bloomize is opening a mini handmade fair next Tuesday, on 24 November!

Handmade zakka first to debut in the marketplace will be a fresh collection of Sunshine bracelets. The little ornaments you’ll see banded together are from my treasured collection. Besides the bracelets, I was thinking about putting out some garlic prints too, but not enough time to get the idea properly executed, so that would have to wait. Anyway I hope you drop by to lend your support. The shop link will appear *live* here next Tuesday.

[16:00 GMT = 11:00 EST]

Write bulb

This interactive wall lamp by Di Classe may take a tad more effort to switch on or off but it’s such an amusing piece of wall art!
