Closing for Christmas!

ADELINE'S LOFT has closed its shipping in time for Christmas. All purchases made now will only be sent via local standard mail. But do expect delays from the post office as festive time is a very busy time for them. =)

The store will also be taking a break. (again!) We will be closed between 24-26 Dec 08. Though I will still check my emails daily so.... it doesn't really matter?! *__*

But being me, I don't think creativity will come in the way!! I will still try to make some creations when time permits.

Wishing all of you a great holiday ahead!

2 New Earrings

I made these 2 very different kinds of earrings today.
Valencia (on the left) has a very romantic and mysterious feel with my handmade clay beads with brass accents.

Sugar Pearls (right) is just too sweet to begin any description!
Made with mauve tone freshwater potato pearls, its quite irresistable!

(p.s. I am also enjoying my new DIY light box that enables me to take better pictures. Don't you think?) *giggles*

Natalie...

That's the name of this new necklace piece I completed today!
I really like this piece too - a little victorian and understated elegance.
Available in store!

I love the look of Crystalline - the elegance, simplicity and beautiful combination of pastel colors makes it very charming.

Clearance Sale at CWL

I received an email this morning and read it with a heavy heart.

Crafted-with-Love will be closing their store.

I must commend Mandy, who spear headed this project for a good cause in helping with raising funds for animals in need of shelter and food. As a contributor, we would donate our work and all proceeds will go to a specific local animal shelter.

Nonetheless, I sincerely hope Crafted-with-Love will make a comeback when the time permits for Mandy to work on it again. You can count on my support! ^__^

It's still not too late to make your contribution! Head on down to Crafted-with-Love for great stuff and perhaps do some early Christmas shopping. Every cent matters. ^__^

I'm on Reuters!

Susan from CAPITOLA GIRL just informed me today that the feature she did up for me a couple of months back was picked up by Reuters!

How exciting is that! LOL...

Suddenly my bout of flu seems so far away.... =p

New Additions at Adeline's Loft

The above creations had just been added to my gallery and is now available for your purchase!
Click on the respective image for details.

I haven't been doing many classic dainty necklaces for some time so I thought I'd make a couple for variation.
They are both in rose quartz stones and looks very elegant.

The earrings are in brass accents with my handmade clay lentils.
Simple and casual which will not go out of style!

Enjoy!

New Packaging

You can now look forward to ADELINE'S LOFT new *packaging!
Packages now comes with my handmade pouches lined with bubble wrap on the inside as a protective layer for your delicate jewelries.

It took me quite a while to get these made in different sizes but no worries, there are no extra costs tagged to the prices of jewelries! I made these as an extra personal touch. ^__^

The idea for my new packaging was inspired by Dusty of 27things. She's a really talented lady!

*Paper wrappers is subjected to change.

Editor's Pick!

Winkelf's editorial team has chosen FRANCINE as a favourite!
Thanks for giving her the extra attention you guys!

This is FRANCINE in the buff!
SOLD

You* give me fever

*EXAMS!!

My son's exams are around the corner. Yikes! It feels like I am the one sitting for it because I basically have to sit down to decide what he should learn and solve math that really tricks you with the English, not the method of solving it. *__*

Sometimes I feel kind of pressured for my son to perform somewhat to everyone's expectations. Given the society we live in, its really nothing new. Even if you don't want to be in the rat race, you just have to join in else guess who will lose out in life? *__*

Anyway, I think my crafting will take a little backseat for the moment just to be around for him. (Of course I will steal in time to do some if I can =p)

See you around soon!

New Creation

I made this necklace today using AC513, one of the unsold set of gold foiled handmade clay beads from my recent batch. The colors go so well together! I have used one side of the necklace with gold plated oval links (my favourite!) and bronze tone accents for a subtle look. You know, sometimes using gold tone either make or break a creation. But here, it is simply stunning! =)

VANNA is going for S$33.00. To buy this exclusive creation, send me an email today!
adeline@adessentials.sg

New Store Presence!

Yes! ADELINE'S LOFT has started a new store with WINKELF!
It's a very awesome place to buy and sell handmade stuff - very much like Etsy.
I hope that this will create more presence about what I do in the international market.

This is yet another alternative way to shop my store ADELINE'S LOFT!
Do lend me your support! =)

New Earrings (SOLD)

This is my latest pair of earrings 'Claudia' - just added to my earrings gallery today!

The pillow shaped clay beads are handmade by me and I've added an amethyst tone glass briolette that matches perfectly to the hues of the flower designs. This unique pair of earrings is accented with 925 silver ear wires. Priced at S$20.00.

Want to own it? Drop me an email to buy 'Claudia', quote that you saw this post and receive a surprise from me! (Hint : it matches the earrings!!)

Cheers!!

^__^

I'm happy!!

New Additions

I've made and added 2 new necklaces to my gallery.
Both are pretty much my signature styles with my handmade polymer clay pieces as focals.

These one-of-a-kind pieces are easy to match with your work or casual outfits. It adds an instant zest and probably will be a conversational topic! (or so that's what I hear from other buyers!)

Don't wait any longer to purchase them if you know what good it will do for you. =)

Busy Caning

I had been busy making these new clay canes today! =)

*Dang! my shoulders are aching so much*

This is my other downside to crafting. When inspiration hits (sometimes at odd hours), you just gotta get down to making it! There's no stopping unless you REALLY have to. The main downside is TIME! I know I have to be discipline about my time management else the kids will have to live in a dusty home and go hungry! =p

I have prepared these new canes for use with my next batch of bead sale - well I should be holding one next week HERE. These canes are also for use in bead customisations. If you're keen to customise beads, I'll send along a link to you with my collection of cane designs to make your very own designer beads! =)

I've Switched Host!

For the longest time, since I started out my jewelry website in 2005, Bravenet was my choice host.

Today, I decided I need a fresh new look (yes again!). So I've switched my host to Blogger!! I fell in love with the template that I am using!! It's so ME!! We are still under the domain of www.adessentials.sg so everyone that has bookmarked us will not miss us! yay!

I had so much fun doing up the new look of my shop! I hope you shoppers out there like it too.

Check it out HERE

Have an awesome weekend!!

Jewelry Makeover!

A customer of mine turned good friend, owns quite a fair bit of necklaces that I've made so far.
The original design of the above necklaces (shown inset) were more than a year old and looked a little outdated! So we arranged to have it returned to me for a jewelry makeover.

Wala!

With a few replacement of beads, parts and re-arrangement of beads position, the necklaces are given a new life! =D

*I am offering jewelry makeover services at my store for a minimal fee! But limited to pieces that are originally handmade by me. Give your jewelry a new lease of life!*

Hair Clip Debut

This is my first try making a polymer clay bead hair clip!
I could only think of making a flower shape design when I embarked on this. Didn't turn out so bad after all. =)

It's available for sale from today in my store at a special debut price.

Will plan for more hair accessories soon. Do look out for it!

What's new in store!

It's been a while since I came out with earring designs.
I hope I won't disappoint the earring fans out there with my latest creations!

'Rosa' is a cabochon style earrings - large clear faceted bronze studs embedded with my handcrafted glittered rose polymer clay frame. Brass dragonfly is wired on for a unique touch. This is an exclusive design!

'Delphine' is made with my hand crafted polymer clay beads in sweet peach and pink hues. The gold foil on the beads brings out the lovely blend of colors. Dyed bronze freshwater pearls tops the clay beads. What's unique here is the mismatched bead shapes that makes it so one-of-a-kind!

'Rosa' and 'Delphine' will be available in store today for S$19.00 & S$20.00 respectively.
If you like either one of these pair and would like to own it, be the first to leave me a comment with the name of the earrings you want and receive a special 15% discount!

My Wedding Anniversary

It's my 11th wedding anniversary today!
I couldn't be any happier to receive such a lovely bouquet.
And I want to share it with you. =)

Jewelry Customisation Affair

The above earrings and bracelet are matching jewelries which I had recently completed. This customisation was made to compliment the would-be owner who has mostly black outfits in her wardrobe. The handmade polymer clay beads will definitely add an interesting-ness to her attires. The colors will also compliment neutral tone outfits she may have. The large ball earring is an eye-catcher which will go absolutely well with her bop hair style!

Keen to have a jewelry customisation with me? Send me your details (your dress sense, main wardrobe colors, hair style etc.) and I will work with you to design one-of-a-kind accessories. Customisation prices start from S$19.00 onwards.

Email me for your enquiries : adeline@adessentials.sg

The Sticker Affair

Last week, I was browsing through a fellow crafter's blog : Nature Autumn Designs and chanced upon an interesting post of which she featured an etsy artist and it enticed me to enter a contest just for fun!

And guess what I won?!!


These customised stickers are the creations of Red Head Diva Paper and it promptly arrived all the way from the USA within days! She certainly has very interesting range of sticker designs and really, I was spoilt for choice! I love the stickers I chose so very much apart from the many others that caught my eye. Geez it almost could pass off looking like my clay beads! =p

Red Head Diva Paper is definitely one of most generous artist I've ever come across and am very honored to receive her work of art. The stickers are of very good quality and came well packaged. Do pay her etsy store a visit and perhaps, customise a sticker for yourself too? =)

A birthday affair!

I was in a fluster last week when I found out that my husband was going for a business trip and could not rely on him to get a birthday pressi for my dear daughter - whose birthday falls on this Thursday. (If you don't already know, I have been confined to my home due to a foot injury and have been in a cast.)

Lo and behold, I found Tokomama.com on the internet and got this!

It's my daughter's first sewing kit! Ain't it cute? It comes completed with everything she needs to sew a few soft toys, a bag and a book cover! All with pre-cut shapes and instructions. I so just love the case!

The package arrived tonight nicely wrapped which the owner Sally, kindly offered to do so for me. I am obviously pleased because my daughter gave me the biggest and wettest kiss of thanks! ^__^ Priceless.

Now, there's certainly no excuse for anyone to miss a child's birthday anymore! =p
