May seem to be my month of doing nothing! Didn't make too many beads, and didn't do much uni work. But I did spend a very nice day at the Melbourne Beads and Gem Show. Denise and I hang around the show most of the day, catching up with old friends and meeting a few new ones. We also spend lots of money on new glass colours. After all the excitement at the show, we decided to do some good old shopping (what can I say, it's Melbourne! We have our priority right ;-) ). All in all, the high light of my month!

Although I didn't made much, I did have some success with those galaxy beads I mentioned last time. Here it is ...

This pendent bead is loaded with silver and CZs and I just LOVE all that sparkles! AU$40.00 if anyone is interested. :p

Gee, April just flew by without me!
I’ve actually been slack in April and not working or studying hard, it’s amazing that I nailed one of my mid semester exam with just 1 hours of study before the exam! Sure hope my lecturer doesn’t know anything about my little website. :p Now I have to write an essay for another subject so can’t be lazy anymore.
Besides getting through uni without knowing why, I’ve spent the last weekend sleeping off a cold (I’ll NEVER forget to close the blind and/or the window in winter again!) and trying to make beads to look like this …




Amazing isn’t it? It was Hubble Space Telescope’s 15th Anniversary last week. To celebrate, they released two new high resolution images. One is the picture of Whirlpool Galaxy and the other one is Eagle Nebular. I’m not the most patient person in the world but I spend HOURS down loading the full size pictures of this two star systems. And I don’t regret a second! You can see a lot of other breath taking pictures of the universe taken by Hubble at http://hubblesite.org/. It’s actually sad to think that after 15 years of faithful service, this amazing piece of technology will be abundant soon due to lack of repair. I sure hope Hubble out last all our expectation.
Well, it’s 11pm and it seems that I’ve escaped another conference call for work! Yah!! It’s to bed and sleep off the rest of that cold! ;)
