Angels,
Are you the creations of God?
Angels,
Are you the messengers of Heaven?

Angels,
Are you the bringers of good news?
Angels,
Are you the desirers of great peace?

Who made you with such beauty?
Who gave such charm?
To whom do you offer your praise?
To the Maker of the heavens and the earth!

I know that God has surrounded me with angels
To protect, guide and grant me peace
Though unseen, unheard and unfathomable
They are there as gifts from Him

How do I know this?
How can I be sure that God cares?
Where is the evidence of God's gift of love?
I turn to my mom!

This poem is written to remember God's love and also for my mum who is still in Singapore on Mothers' Day' 2010.
It was also to celebrate the end of the first year for My Angel Now! which was started as a tribute to my mum.

A surprise

After the entry last Tuesday, I went through my box where my handmade jewelries in transition sit. I found this pair of earring which was listed as "Charming Bali" before. The centre feature were Bali charms, held in earring holders, enhanced by a trail of 5mm Light Sapphire bicone crystals and 2.5mm square spacer beads.


This was one of the first pair of earrings which I made at about the same time as "Swing with me". "Swing with me", in the original Swarovski Aquamarine color was not sold but a pair in Amethyst was ordered. Charming Bali, however, was never touched. I took it off The Front Room's rack recently since I did not want my customer to wear old pieces of jewelry. I wanted to take it apart, thinking the design must have been unappealing.
After looking at it for a while, I decided I to wear it the very next day. Since I have not worn earrings for a long time. I wasn't not sure if my pierce holes were still open, or will I be hypersensitive to new earrings.
Much to my surprise, I received many compliments and I did not have any problem with the Rhodium hooks. Many thought I had a special occasion to attend that night. I am well pleased with my decision not to take it apart. It shall be my earring for a long while : )

Things to be excited about...

Since this is a brand new blog, "new" shall be the theme.

Well, it is the the start of a new school term. Unfortunately, it is nothing to be happy about. In fact, it is the beginning of misery because I have to wonder around downtown campus on my own AND can't bring my own lunch anymore!!! That is extremely saddening and depressing...

Something to be happy and excited about - a brand new craft box! It is a ribbon saver but it is exactly what I have been wanting for my wires! When I saw it, I told my husband (yes, he went craft shopping with me) how great it would be if it is half price... I would definitely get it. Guess what?! It was really half price! 




I could not stop grinning after getting it and now it is filled with all my favorite things...


Back to why I started this new blog: I wanted a place where I can record my thoughts when I make a new piece of jewelry. A lot goes on behind the scene but it quickly becomes forgotten if I don't write it down. So, I hope this blog becomes an avenue for me to do that. I do hope I can keep up with myself. Support from all you readers will keep me going... : ) Thanks for reading!
