It has been many years since I last did any handicraft. I used to habitually do stuff such as cross-stitch, embroidery, making accessories or small craftwork for my friends and family at least once a year but I've not done anything for a long time since having kids. I simply do not have the frame of mind or time to do such things.
Recently, I've been looking for earrings but simply have not found anything I like. After much search, I finally decided that it'll be easier and cheaper if I just make them myself. Here are what I made with materials I bought for $18.

Purple crystal earrings
Yellow cat's eye beads earrings
I had a lot of leftover cat's eye beads so I decided to make a matching bracelet and pendant. Jayna fell in love with them at first sight and asked for one of her own. So I used the rest of the materials to make a necklace and bracelet set suitable for her age.

(Notice how pleased she looked!)

I realised how much I missed doing such craftwork. I look forward to going back to this long time hobby of mine once the new baby is settled and I can finally close down my "factory". I sure hope that Jaide will be as girlie as Jayna so that I may have the joy of making pretty things for my two darling girls! *dreamy*
