One day I decided Id like to throw a dinner party for some of my friends and thought it would be nice to have a new set of napkin rings to go with my newly purchased red cups. I stopped by a bead store and bought some red and green beads and some wires, and a few hours later, I’d made 8 very pretty spiral napkin rings! I fell in love with beads and turning them into pretty and useful items around the house.

Im a single mother to a wonderful 4 year old who loves doing beading with me!
I speak 3 languages at home.
I live in Malaysia where it's either sunny, or rainy.
I love to travel, and used to travel a lot. My favorite city is New York and I'd love to go back there again and again and again!
I love beading and I want to do this forever - hopefully one day I can even start a class to teach crafting.
