Creative for a Cause - Stop violence against women

Not everybody is as fortunate as I am...
Not everybody lives in a country that is safe...
Not everybody has frivolous things like beads & jewellery in their life...

Instead there are people who are constantly looking over their shoulder in fear, who are living in countries, torn by war, who do not know whether the next time they step outside their house might be the last time.



Thankfully there are organisations out there who are trying to help.
To support these charities in their cause, I've decided to use my "creative" streak and I'm proud to present my "Creative for a Cause"-collection : a collection of jewellery and accessories for which I will donate part of the proceedings to a charity.

I will be trying to add new charities regularly so please make sure to check my website or my blog to see which charity I have added!

Join me in my effort to make a difference!

How cute are these?

I've been kind of obsessed with cats lately...
just have a look at my latest creations, and you'll see what I mean...


Is there a cuter kitten than Hello Kitty? I think not :o))
These lovely earrings are the first items in my "Hello Kitty" Kiddies Collection: cute "Hello Kitty" jewellery for cute girls... but who am I to stop any cute grown-up to buy these and wear them themselves?

And then of course, we have these little beauties...

Meet Maneki Neko... according to Wikipedia, this kitten will bring good luck to its owner... so how can you not love Maneki Neko. I'm planning on ordering some other lovely Maneki Neko beads and adding more jewellery pieces to my Maneki Neko collection soon...

Hello and welcome to my Blog!

I'm an office administrator for a company that manufactures hydrogen generators by day and an aspiring bead jewellery maker by night. Seeing my day job isn't all that glamourous, I was looking for a way to add some glitter to my life, so when my friend gave me a handmade bead necklace and introduced me to beaded jewellery, I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland... what's more sparkly than Swarovski crystal? All those colours, all those shapes... the possibilities are endless... so I started making jewellery myself as a hobby. This was about 4 years ago... Eventually, I gathered such a large collection of handmade jewellery that my jewellery box was ready to explode, so I decided to sell some things... Ingenious idea as I can use the money to buy new beads and make new things!

So I invite you to have a look at my website, make sure you visit my shop and also do a little bit of shopping (wink, wink) and oh, don't forget to check back for new posts in my blog!
