Happy 2nd Birthday My Dear Blog!

My Dear Blog,
Wish you a very Happy 2nd Birthday!


Thanks a ton for giving me a chance to express myself to this world through you, to write my feelings behind my jewelry creation and beyond; and to connect with very creative people out there. You have been a loyal friend since last two years though I don't visit you that often as I should be but I know you are always there for me.

This year you have grown much bigger as compared to the first year with readers from many parts of the world. You have helped me reach more and more people as friends and followers, learn from their experiences and motivate myself to keep going with their encouraging comments.

As your birthday gift my friend, I promise to visit you at least once a week going forward. Happy Birthday once again!

Mamma can I design an earring for you?

While I was working on my computer selecting pictures for my bead soup reveal on Saturday, my 8 yr old son who was standing next to me got fascinated by a crystal separator I had used in the pendant for the soup necklace. He very innocently asked me, "Mamma, can I make an earring for you with the crystal bead you have used? Will you finish them today and wear them so that I can see how they look?" He loves to bead with me and in the past have made very nice designs for me as mothers day gift and otherwise too. It was almost 10pm and I had not started writing the blog yet. He was totally thrilled when I agreed. He ran to choose matching beads from his own stash. Yes, he has a whole collection of glass and plastic beads of his own. So he picked the multicolored glass bead from there and I let him pick few Swarovski crystals from mine. I completed the earrings and wore them right away. The happiness and satisfaction on his face was priceless.
