Feature!

My first feature in a treasury!  It's called "Say Yes".  How fitting, as I start planning for my wedding.  Did you know that wedding dress shopping can be exhausting? Especially if you can't find that one perfect dress.  So I spent a whole week going to different dress shops and tried on about 20 different dresses until I found the perfect one. (I know, a whole week to find a dress is actually not too bad) Can't say to many details but it's beautiful and the perfect one.  Now I just need to figure out the necklace to match. 

**Anyways, here's the link to the treasury:

What you need to know about owning a business...

1.  If people don't know you exist, they won't buy from you.
2.  If you want to sell 100 items but only have 10 in your shop then you have a problem.
3.  You need materials to make items.
4.  You need money to buy materials. 
5.  Be willing to lose money.
6.  People want to know what they're buying. Have good photos and descriptions
7.  Procrastinating doesn't earn money.

It can't get more simple than this.

A couple of my friends are getting married this year, so I've been making bridal jewellery galore.  It's also great practice for my own wedding next year.  So this is a necklace that I made for my friend who's getting married next month.

It's made using 8mm white Swarovski pearls on white silk thread.  I put a knot between each pearl to keep the pearls from rubbing against each other.

What do you think?

Job Posting: Teacher

As a new teacher, I'm finding that my role in front of the classroom is more than just the person that delivers a lesson.  So I've developed this list titles that accompanies the role of a teacher.  I'll be adding more to it as I find more.

As a teacher you will have to be a:

• counsellor
• nurse
• mommy
• entertainer
• coach
• friend
• actor
  

Feel free to suggest any more roles you think a teacher faces everyday (comment below)

March Break Bridal assessories

I just finished March Break and boy was it busy... Busy with making new jewellery. I finally stepped out of my earring making designs to try knotting pearl necklaces and bracelets. I've been making some custom designs for friend's weddings so I decided to delve into that world of making bridal jewellery.... and to get some ideas for my own wedding. :P




This necklace is my favourite one so far.








Another pair of earrings.... :D

Kids Speak: Soooooo innocent!

Happy Valentine's Day! Did you know that as a teacher you can get valentine's presents? Well, today I got a few presents and among them were flowers, keychains and of course CHOCOLATE! Here is the conversation I had while I was opening a box of Godiva chocolates:

Me: Ooooh! It's chocolate! Thank you!
Student: You're welcome. It was supposed to be a present for me but I didn't like it.
