DIY Crochet Hats & Headbands

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season.

Over the season, I have been quite busy with the usual Holiday preparations, battling a sinus infection (which I fought off using natural remedies)  and also crochet projects.  I have worked on both commissioned & non-commissioned projects & thought I should share some with ya.

Here are two hats that I have given as gifts. The color yarn used was love at first sight.  

 The following hat & mitten set is one of my commissioned orders:  

Headbands are another fun project I enjoy working on & was thrilled to put these together.

I kept the following for myself! It's a girly headband but I plan on sporting it during the Spring/Summer months.

Look out for more of my crochet projects in future posts. And to those of you that enjoy this craft, Happy Crocheting!

Cheers & I hope you enjoy!

Handmade Jewelry Exclusively by Face Fab

I love jewelry.  And those of you who know me well can attest to this fact.  Not only does jewelry accesorize an outfit or make great statement pieces but it also allow us to express ourselves depending on our varying moods.

A few weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised by my amazing friend, Erika.  She recently launched her new online shop to offer her handmade wrist candies and more.  And here's  a sneak peek of what she gifted me in the mail. Isn't she a doll?  Believe me, I was jumping for joy like a kid in a candy store.

Thank you so much, E! You rock girl! I've been receiving so many compliements on my FAITH bracelet. 

 

 Erika is one of the most kindest, coolest, helpful and above all, honest gals I have ever came in contact with.   These are traits of an authentic friend and someone to do business with. I'm so appreciative to have her in my life.

Here's a briefing of Erika's professional background:

 She's a Licensed Beauty Professional with Over 16 Years of
Hair & Face Styling Experience
Serving the Central Florida Area (&beyond)
in Private, Corporate, Print & National Television

These pics are proof that Erika has invested a lot of love in not only creating her jewelry but also the packaging.  

 

Whether you're looking to add to your jewelry collection or shopping for stocking stuffers, I strongly encourage you to visit Face Fab's store. You're bound to find unique pieces that's been made with love. 

 Sharing is caring so please share this post with your jewelry fiend friends.  With thanks!

Our Live Singing Performances

Music has always been a huge part of my life hence my profound appreciation for many variations even if it's not written in the only language I speak and write -- the English language. I attribute this profound appreciation to the fact that I was introduced to it at a very tender age. 

I grew up in a musical home with family members who enjoyed playing a variety of musical instruments. Back in the day, my dad performed guitar pieces for our radio channel. My siblings & I enjoy the piano and have been playing since we were little children. Up until my sister's passing in 2002, she played the piano. This is what she lived for. R.I.P. sis! I know she has continued to play in heaven. 

 Playing the piano has definitely aided in my singing ability and I attribute this to being familiar with musical notes. My significant other has been a singer for many years and sings on a professional level and I enjoy teaming up with him to perform for special events. This is no news for my close friends who have watched us and cheered us on. Your support means so much to us! My beloved & I are blessed with 'the' most awesome friends. Yay! 

Over the years, we have been recording some of our performances and I have decided to finally upload a few to share with ya. I initially begun doing so via my viddler account but decided to make use of my dormant You Tube account. Why not use that channel, right? 

Our singing is in Hindi and based on songs from famous bollywood movies. We both have a tendency to pursue songs that we feel connected to at the heart. 

 

These posts are definitely a detour from my usual health, beauty and DIY postings. It's unique you can say and I'm hoping that you all will enjoy it and that of what's to come. 

With this, I leave you with this renowned quotation by the great William Shakespeare.

 If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour!
