Kecil dan Bulat

Kecil [ke-chill]: small
Dan [dhan]: and
Bulat [boo-lhat]: round

I made these little darlings, Kecil dan Bulat awhile ago and plum forgot to put them up. They're all sold out now but I can easily make them again if you're hankering for something small and sweet.

Kecil dan Bulat were handwoven with 4mm Swarovski crystals in various colors (counterclockwise from top left: Red Siam, Fuschia, Peridot, L. Aquamarine, Crystal, Topaz, Blue Caribbean & Olivine). Retails at RM12 / USD4.

Oh my!

I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who have been very patient with me while I work on your orders. A crafty gal is very, very lucky when she has such wonderful customers all of whom have impeccable tastes (grin), are truly understanding and actually care about the creative process. Thank you for your support! ^_^

Hugs and kisses,
Murni

Darma

Darma means good deed in Indonesian but if you look it up on Wikipedia (which I always do), in Sanskrit it means "the 'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense." Hmmm.... excuse me while I think deep thoughts. Heh.

This double layer necklace has been sent to a special someone who did a very nice thing as the name Darma signifies. I bet you know who you are already right?? Darn. I'm so bad at keeping secrets. Here's hoping that it'll reach you in one piece and that you like it. ^_^

I made Darma with antique silver fine cable chains, 3mm Swarovski Crystals in Crystal and an 8mm Rose heart, plus I added a sweet medium sized Russian Doll Charm which I really can't get enough of. I only have very limited numbers of these charms and this particular one that I used here is hands down my favorite (a dark Persian blue with a Hot Pink rose).

Long Overdue

Please accept my usual, lame-o excuse for the lack of entries on this blog: I’ve been busy!

Loads of things have happened and are still happening in fact! Here’s a little run down of what happened since my last post:

• We buried Bun Bun and Sweetheart in our garden
• I started swapping on Swap-Bot.com!
  
• Saw the play ‘My Fair Lady’ at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center courtesy of Mr A.J.
• Celebrated my 26^th birthday at MiCasa Hotel and then Cynna (the boyfriend threw me a surprise party thanks largely in part to Azhar and Zulfah for running around arranging it. You guys rock!)
• Had my annual birthday dinner with the parental units and half-sister at Hilton, KL Central
• Celebrated Awok’s birthday at Cynna (we Geminis simply are fabulous dahling!)
• Attended a Cukur Jambul ceremony for my littlest cousin, Anna Nurlisa
• Danced my little tushie off at the Genting International Jazz Festival with the usual suspects (the boyfriend and the buddies. Must remember to thank Cuban Ambassador for the tickets)
  
• and the boyfriend and I went to a total of 3 weddings (two Malay weddings and one Punjabi wedding)!

We probably did a whole lot more things but in this whirl of oh-so-much-things-to-do, I can’t seem to remember anything else right now. The boyfriend claims that I have the memory of a goldfish… I'm starting to agree! -_-

I’ve made a few new pieces of jewelry with my NEW vintage findings and charms, but have yet to take pictures. I’m really quite swamped with work, wholesale orders and all sorts of going-ons that’s it’s almost impossible to set aside time to do anything else other than what requires my immediate attention NOW! Sometimes I think it sucks to be me but then again when I count my blessings I know I’m just being a grouchy whinge. Heh.

My wholesale orders are piling up so if you’ve ordered something and you’re still waiting for me to finish it, please accept my deepest and sincerest apologies! I will get a move on the retail orders this week and will get them out by mail by Monday. Cross my heart!

Toodles darlings! Have a Happy Tuesday! ^_^
