New stuff!♥

Hello!
It's been a while. Again. Damn.

Not only have I been busy with work (still), but I've also been sick with flu. Ever since September, but last week it got so bad I had to take couple days off to get some rest. And I'm still not completely done with the flu. But I'm getting there, hopefully..

Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of couple new things I've gotten, and a sneak peak pic of my latest project.


^ My very first Kalevala jewellery! They're quite expensive (imo), but I got a giftcard to the store and I only ended up paying 9€ (they're 59€, if anyone is wondering). Going to add something to the backpiece, to make them stand out more, and fit the new bracelet below.



^ The bracelet I got from Bijou Brigitte. So I paid more from it than I usually do with my jewellery (since they're almost all from eBay..). Lovely black filigree bracelet 14,90€ I think.
And the earrings are from eBay, around 1£.

 

^ Sneak peak! They're wings. Lot's of them.

And I cut my hair! It used to be long enough to touch my boobs, but now it's just past my jawline. And now my hair looks and feels so much better.

.......

Mmmm, what else. I'll try posting again soon, the biggest problem is to find time and place to take pictures of the stuff I've had. It gets dark very early and with my crappy Lumia it's a miracle if I can get a decent pic..

Anyway. I'll start doing my make up so I won't be late from work.
And here's a couple of pics of things I've been making at work.



^ Dummy cake for  our store window and a 18th birthday cake.



^ Babyshower cake and a christening cake.


^ Winter Snow Castle cake closeup.


^ And the whole cake, made to feed 250 people. It was fun to make, but damn did it take time too.

.......

And that's all for today. I hope you all have a great week and try not to get sick!

Latest project and new bracelets.

It has been a busy week once again. 

I haven't gotten a chance to post earlier, and on Monday I went on a trip to visit my mother. So here I am, in Nummela, Finland. Still snow everywhere but spring is trying it's best. I'll be staying here till Friday, and then it's back to Tampere.


I haven't been here in two years. It's amazing how fast time goes by. So much has changed in here.

I also got a chance to meet my best friend and check out her apartment (I want it!). And trying to go and see my grandma tonight. And tomorrow it's my old school, going to go and say HI! to my old teachers.

So, anyway. I had a little jewellery project last Sunday, and today I finally had the time to take pictures. 

I didn't even have internet connection until yesterday evening. My mother couldn't remember the password, and my brother is on a trip with my dad (Climbing to Himalayas! Check out Rhododendron Forest at Nepal . Amazing! ). But finally my mother got a text message from my brother, telling where they were at the moment (Tengboche Monastery) and also the password for the wireless connection.


.......

But, that's that for now, let's move on to the pictures of my jewellery project!
I had this very pretty long necklace that had a big filigree ball with a pearl inside it. But I wanted to make it stand out more. And I also wanted something to fit it. 

So I bought four filigree golden leaves from eBay, and made them into earrings, pendant and a ring. I also added some pearls to the chain, and glued a flatback pearl to the ring.





^ And here they are! You can see the filigree ball in the first picture, that was the only thing in the original necklace (plus the chain of course). Personally I think they came out nice. I like how the pearls go with the golden leaves. 

.......

And here are the new bracelets I got! I also have silver coloured zipper bracelet, but I left it at home. They're quite hard to get on my arms sometimes, but usually with brute force and some swear words I get them on. Taking them off is another story... 

But yeah! I really like these, and they were quite cheap too. Zipper bracelets were 0,99 British pounds (1,20€), the middle bangle was a bit more, 2,something Brithis pounds, and the braided one was also 0,99 British pounds. So not bad, if you ask me.



^ Bling Bling!

.......

And that's it! I'll be posting more soon, I just got a call from my friend, and we'll be going to Helsinki for a while. Hanging around, maybe shopping something for her (because I have no extra money atm... so nothing for me :P  ), and yeah. Going to check out one cupcake shop there!

Byebye!♥
