My hobby

This is my hobby but I stopped doing this for more than 6 months now since it is quite expensive and I do not even wear them.

The accessories I made are going to be shipped to France. My French student ordered some for a little business after seeing my designs.

They are very simple and not unique.

So here they are minus the earrings, I haven’t taken pictures of the earrings yet.

Necklaces:

Rose Quartz

These are rose quarts in different sizes. It looked as if the beads were randomly arranged but if you look closely, they are actually carefully patterned. I am very particular with patterns and I love to count.

The smallest is 5 then the biggest 1, next smaller size 4pcs,

This is also patterned… I have patiently counted and patterned the small beads in three colors, black, red and dark red

I am a little hesitant about my works. I am anxious that they might not like it because it’s too simple and ordinary.

Bra-Fit Tips

1. The underwire ought to be flush agaibst your ribcage.

2. Make sure the band is snug enough that you can fit only two fingers underneath it and its lower than or level with  the bodice of the bra.

3. The fabric between the cups should lie flat against your skin.

Your real bra size

A professional bra-fitting is as good idea, but here’s how to do it yourself:

To figure out your band size. measure your rib cage just under your breasts. If it’s not an even number, round it up (so 33 inches rounds up to 34). Next, calculate your cup size by first measuring around the fullest part of your bust and then subtracting your band size from that number. The difference between between the two digits determines your cup size- a 1 inch difference is an A cup; 2 is a B; 3 is a C, and so on. Final step: Find something lacy, racy, and black.
