Of Dogs and Beads

Well, I managed to bathe them all today, getting myself soaking wet in the process. When will they learn that I am not the towel??

Just so you know, I have 3 dogs - 2 jack russell terriers, Russell & Tinkerbell and a mongrel, Gypsy. Russell's the boss of course and Gypsy bullies Tinkerbell although Tinky's the one who oriented Gypsy into this household and made her welcome when she first came to us.

Speaking of dogs, they're the reason I started this blog. I had this brainwave of making costume jewellery to sell on Doggiesite forum http://www.doggiesite.com/ to raise funds for a couple of dog shelters. So much for the brainwave. The forumers aren't buying many although I get nice comments and people who say they like my designs. Well, if they like it so much, why don't they get some? There're cheap and all the profits would be going to the shelters so it's all for a good cause. Anyway, this girl from the forum offered to start a website for me. I'm such an idiot when it comes to such things so I said no. Then someone else told me why not put it up on your blog? And I was thinking, "As if I have a blog. That's for narcissistic egomaniacs". So, here I am....

Here's a glimpse of a few of the stuff I made...

I'm pretty proud of them actually. They're not too shabby if I may say so myself, considering I've only been doing this for oh, 2 weeks. Yes, I didn't know nuts about jewellery making and I went ahead and had the brainwave anyway. But there's this nice lady who runs a little stall at Thomson Plaza selling all these materials who's been an angel giving me pointers and design ideas even though she charges people to take classes.

So ok, that's it for now. It's late and I have work tomorrow. Goodnight, reader :-)
