So many pretty things!

Ah... New year just gone by and I am on a crazy "spending" spree again. Not that I have buy anything... Yet! I fell in love with so much items in www.minimaos.com * That white dress is pretty and so is that top, that wig looks cute~ ooo bags~ * that I seriously wonder what to buy on my limited budget *Sob, I hate low salary...*

Sigh... and even if I do get the things I want, the next problem is finding shoes etc to match. My reason for spending is cos... Chinese New Year is coming!!! Sheesh =x

But I got to save for this and that so I am seriously thinking about pawning some of my unwanted books and so on to get the things I want... FML...

Contemplating now as to whether should I start working long hours on the weekdays for the OT ( but I don't have much to do now =x )

In fact, being so cash strapped, most of my presents given to my gal friends are made by me. Not some cheapskate stuff hor!!! I don't make cards or so on.

Take the ones I made for my sweet Lyvi on her birthday:

Matching necklace~

A butterfly made from a few swarovski crystals... One of my first attempts. Or rather, my only attempt till now.

And a present for Lyvi's sister ^.^

And just not long ago, last week or so, I went to a birthday party, it was Ray's sister, Mint's birthday party. Once again I handmade another gift for her heehee...

Photobucket

Keychain~ Not one of my best creation but the wire name part is definately my only attempt to make name out of wires =x I am often used to create butterflies or leaves out of the wires but never name for I always failed them. So I am pretty proud and happy that it turns out well.

Photobucket

A bracelet~ Glad that she like it though heehee... Was wondering what she likes and the only thing Ray dear helped me is to be my model =x And of course, telling me that the initial size I made was too small for Mint. So I did some readjustment and luckily it fits ( or so she told me =p )

See... My handmade stuff are not cheapo construction paper making stuff. But they are pretty energy draining as I realised everytime I made I get a little tired and sleepy. Perhaps I used too much concentration in making sure that I perfected every little detail to my expectation. I do have high expectations on the things I created. =x

Perhaps this is why I never ( though I did think of it now and then, when I am cash strapped) set up a stall or blog solely to sell the creations I made. Heh... But if anyone do want to buy my creations, feel free to leave comment here and I will get back to you on the designs and such as well as cost hee hee...
