New Items for Heart Stone Collection

Hey everyone!

I just added new designs to my Heart Stone Collection!
It is my favorite so far. I love how simple it is and it lets the beautiful heart stones shine.
I made a blue pair for myself.

And here are the rest of the colours currently available in my Etsy shop.

I have 2 more colours coming up, so stay tune! ;) 

You can view the rest of my Heart Stone Collection HERE.

I hope everyone is doing well. 

My finals starts this Friday and I have basically been preparing for it. I'm just glad most of my exams are open book, but I know I still can't get too complacent *sighs*

Last week, I spent 3 days working on 19 pages long lab report...and I fell sick after that...I really don't like that kind of pressure. I did make these earrings when I take a break from studies thou. So I guess I still had a bit of fun.

Mitch was a great help too, always keeping my company while I worked on it. 

I am soo thrilled that my Facebook Page is close to having 300 likers! (:

But then, I realized only 10% of them see my posts (stupid function on Facebook...) unless I pay to promote my posts..

I'm not sure if it's worth it..what do you think?

It's Monday tomorrow, although it doesn't mean much to me since my classes are basically over.
I still hope you'll have a great start to your week!

Hugsx

Resin Roses

Hey everyone!

It's Friday tomorrow, so hang in there!
My Fridays are normally pretty lazy ones, but since I have 3 papers due next week, I guess I can't get a lazy one this time...

Anyway, I just want to share with you the resin rose bobby pins that I made.
I love resin embellishments..They're just beautiful....
I think they're moulded to perfection..
And I saw those lovely antique bronze bobby pins too and I really like the look of them together.

It was a really quick crafting, and I like it. It feels like a nice break from crocheting, since crocheting things normally take hours.

I bought myself a few resin roses in 3 colors - teal, red and cream white.

As usual...I'm sharing more photos than necessary..hehe
Enjoy! (:

Teal is my favorite! 

And lastly...

So which one is your favorite?

Crochet Bows!

Hey everyone! (:
Just popping in to share crochet bow brooches that I made today.

They're so addictive! (:
The pattern is so easy too.

I started with 22 chains, and then half double crochet into 3rd chain from the hook.
And I just used half double crochet throughout and did total of 8 rows of half double crochet.
After that I weaved in ends and simply wrapped yarns in the centre and you just made a bow!

More photos here!
I know the photos aren't perfect, cos I took it with my phone at night under my room's lights *gasps*
I hope you don't mind it so much.

There you go! (:
I know it's a longgg weekends in most countries, so I hope you will have a good one!
I probably will spend mine working on school project (not fun..), crocheting and reading with M.

Oh yes, I started using INSTAGRAM and if you're on it too, you can follow me @khinsboutique.
I think it is rather fun, but I really don't want to get addicted to it...Mitch wouldn't stop teasing me for using Instagram and I'm glad he's over it, at least for now :P

That's all from me for tonight. I think I'm gonna go curl up with Mistborn - a really great book that I'm currently reading.

Good night.

Earrings Cards DIY

Last night, I was up until about 2 am, busy printing my earring cards.

I designed them, with the help of Mitch and suggestions from my friends. Thanks so much for all the help, guys. (:

It was so much fun designing them. I had about 10 different floral cards but this one gotta be my favourite!

I especially love the font that I used, Scriptina. The most gruesome part of designing was picking out one perfect front from so many beautiful ones. I'm so glad I've made up my mind about it and done deciding on the design.

Since I'm on the subject of packaging, I thought I'd share with you the packaging that I did for my previous orders on my Etsy Shop.

I made those little bags out of tracing papers. I love how they are partly transparent (duh...) and they don't get crumpled easily.

So, how do you package your items?
Do you source them from others or do you design and make them all yourself?

You can leave your links to your packaging blog posts in the comment section cos I'd love to check them out. (:

Have a great weekends!

A Bowl of Sunshine

Hello everyone! (:
I was on the way back from class last Friday and, I went to my local craft supply store to get some beautiful new things. I have a long week break from school, so I thought I could make some new things for my Etsy shop.

I saw these colorful heart rocks and I just have to get some!
They are all such brilliant colors.

I wire-wrapped them using 26 gauge sterling silver wires and turn them into earrings.

There are a few more other colors, so I might be able to make a set of rainbow colors.

I hope you like it.
You can get them for $12 + postage on my Etsy Shop.
And you can use coupon code KHINSBLOG10 to get 10% off on your order at the checkout too! (:

I hope you're having a great weekends! (: 
Till next time.

Colourful Aster Bookmarks

I made these little bookmarks in several colours. 

The pattern is an Aster pattern from 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet.
The pattern is pretty easy to follow and they crochet up so fast! Changing colours isn't too hard too and I can easily tug in the loose ends while crocheting too, which makes them extra fun to crochet!

I think they look like they have been pressed between book pages and that's why I think they make such great bookmarks.

I gave the pink one to my niece; she loves it. (:

Can you tell I had so much fun taking the photos too? (:

I hope you like it! (:

Just on the side note..I'll be flying to Adelaide tonight and so, I will put my Etsy Shop on vacation mode till 14th of January. When I come back, I'll list those aster bookmarks too. (:

I'll be active on my blog thou. I have to close the shop while I'm there because postage from Australia is wayyyy too expensive. 

I hope you're having a great weekends! (:

Feeling the Christmas Rush

I've been so busy lately.
My last exam paper is 2 days away and I've been so busy trying to stuff all the information into my head..
And I've got more than usual orders on my Etsy shop too since Christmas is coming up.

While I was busy doing packaging and all that for my shop items, I remembered to take photos to share too! Here they are (:
