Elizabeth Doily 2 (LHO 9)



I am so glad I listened to your comments on the last post on this. I had started the next round but made a mistake after a few repeats. Cut and ended it. Then came your comments. So I picked up my shuttles and decided to continue. Glad I did!

Now to continue with this Lee Hye-oon pattern and complete Elizabeth Doily 3. Pattern can be found in Lovely Tatting Doilies for Spring & Summer. Come back to see it in a couple of weeks.

Pandora Bracelet of the Week 8



This is the limited edition Mother's Day 2018 Pandora Moments Silver Padlock Bangle Flourishing Hearts. I love this bangle, especially the lovely padlock clasp. I just got it in July 2018. As with all new clasps, you need to practise putting it on and taking it off. I just love how pretty it is. I find it easier than the heart clasp and the cubic zirconia signature clasp.

Here I paired it with the Pre-Autumn 2018 Spinning Hearts of Pandora charm. The two inner rings are moveable. A little difficult to manoeuvre, worn on the wrist but if you wear it as a necklace, you can spin away your anxieties. 

In this collection, I also purchased the Pandora Rose Crown O and the Spinning Pandora Signature Dangle. Hope to show how I wear it soon.

Freshwater Pearl & Ruby Bracelet



The ruby briolettes were bought in Bangkok years back. It came in a long strand and it was quite pricey. The tiny faceted beads in between the freshwater pearls were from the local bead shop. As you can see the colour of the tiny beads are light pink compared to the briolettes.

Anyway this is an unusual way to use the briolettes but I like how it turned out. Another bracelet to add to my collection.

Tatting for Nectar 7



I think one more of these will complete this project. This one is tatted in Milford Mercer Size 20 Sunshine and Lemon. At this point, tatting this is therapeutic.

Pandora Bracelets of the Week 7



Pandora Moments Silver Bangle with Pandora Rose clasp.

From left to right: Pandora rose dazzling daisies clip, Silver shimmering lace charm, Pandora rose filled with romance charm, Royal blue nature's radiance charm, Pandora rose heraldic heart charm, Silver glittering shapes charm and Pandora rose dazzling daisies clip.





Pandora Moments Silver Open Bangle with logo caps.

From left to right: Abstract silver with faceted royal blue crystal charm, Aqua heart charm and another Abstract silver with faceted royal blue crystal charm.



Two bangles stacked together. Strong colours give the bangles focus. I think it is a nice contrast with the silver and the Pandora rose. Although blue is not my favourite colour, I seem to have many blues in my wardrobe. It should match very well. 

Both the aqua heart and the royal blue nature's radiance charms are stunning. It was love at first sight for the aqua heart but the royal blue nature's radiance seems to grow on me.

Freshwater Pearl & Spinel Bracelet




I made this stretchy bracelet for myself. I prefer wearing stretchy bracelets on yoga days. It is more comfortable and east to take off and put back on. Love the colour of these freshwater pearls. I must have bought this strand from the beading shop years back. I have a lot of beading supplies from that time. The tiny black faceted spinel was a new purchase. I also got some sapphire, ruby, ruby zoisite and amethyst faceted beads to play with. They are really tiny (2-3mm) but quite pretty. Whenever I see them, I can only imagine how the tiny beads are being faceted.

Tatting for Nectar 6



I think the black petals really stand out and it will go with any colour background. My project continues.

Snacking



Snacking is not good. But this should be healthier than my favourite Lorenz balsamic vinegar potato chips. Or is it? Perhaps just stick to carrots or oats.
