Emily Secret Passions

These bags that you see here was made by me when my youngest two children were still toddlers. I had lots of time on my hand to indulge in my hobby. I had forgotten all about them as they were stashed away in a drawer in another room, so I thought I might as well post them in my blog. This hobby of mine including needlework, especially cross-stitch (thread and seed beads) has since long been forgotten. Still have lots of beads and DMC threads stashed away in a box. Some items have found new owners as I tend to give away when I do not have storage for them.

Beaded bag with zig-zag pattern and plastic handles. I've only used it twice as it's quite heavy.

This one is woven with wool on a plastic card and then joined together to make into a bag with a pair of wooden handles.

I created this pair of bold stud earrings that are intricate and very fashionable based on Emi Kaz's tutorial. Bought the tuts some time ago, but didn't have time to start this project until about a week ago. This is my third attempt at it and the nicest pair of all.

Special thanks: Emi Kaz

My first Tree of Life Pendant was done with gemstone chips on a round frame but this time I did it again on a rectangle frame. It's made with various gemstone chips and a dragonfly charm attached to it. I was very disappointed with the outcome of this pendant as it didn't look like a tree at all to me.

Thanks to BeadStudio for the tutorial.

Purposely took these photos of the red lantern in my car porch a few days ago. As you can see, a pair of sparrow made their nest in the lantern. Mind you, this is not the first time birds are making their nest there. Previously, I took down the lantern to clear the nest and now they're building it again. I supposed the birds found a cosy and comfortable place to build their home. Can't wait to see their eggs.

This gives me a good reason to make the Bird's Nest Pendant out of artistic wire and swarovski round pearls.
