Candle-making and beaded jewelry
06/06/2007 by Connie Veneracion · Filed under The Mommy Journals
My friends and I went gaga over plastic and crystal beads one summer. We would scour Divisoria Mall for beads and beading accessories. Sam and Alex caught the fever and, eventually, I had to buy a container for the beads and accessories.
I have actually posted these photos before but I can’t find them in any of my blogs. Am not sure if they were lost during the December 2005 disaster or I just forgot which blog I moved them to. But, anyway, below are some of the projects that the girls did.
I made the green bracelet in the photo above from jade beads my mother gave me a long time ago.
Sam made the earrings above. She never wore them though but gave them to me. I still have them. The metal parts have rusted but the beads still look great. I’m keeping them forever. Memories.

Hey I love the earrings! Do you know that I buy that in Accessorize from £8 onwards. The big hoop earring would probably cost £10-£15.
Sigh na lang ako.

Ang mahal! My goodness, a pack of beads cost around 30 pesos only.

sam and alex must be gifted in beaded jewelry. me, no matter how i try, no matter how many nice materials there are, i would not be able to make a decent piece. i can only appreciate other’s works.

They have a thing about creative projects, SexyMom. Kahit ano basta it requires detailed work. Sam can create model race tracks with shoe boxes. Something they got from their dad. Looking at the bracelets in the pic, the one I made is the ugliest hahahaha

Kongkong, we bought one kind of soap, haven’t blogged about it yet. Pero, ang bilis matunaw.

You think they can make a lot & I can sell them here? haha
A lot of orientals (chinese looking) do that here. Naka-park sa isang kanto kung ano ano tinitinda

LOL Magiging exporter na sila! Kaso di reliable ang mga yan. Masipag when in the mood; otherwise, wala!
