Variations on a Pink Bead

Just please don't ask me to say anything right now. I have nothing to say. But please stay with me until it all gets better and I have something to say from my heart.

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse died. It seems this is the time of all kinds of death.

Time

Companies are getting more and more innovative when it comes to marketing and promotion. At the company I work we have loads of such tools and presents and my favourite is a kind of magnetic sheet that consists of many words that can be separated by tearing them apart from each other and down from the head of the sheet itself. When you do this, you get a bunch of tiny individual words you can use as fridge magnets. There are a lot of professional words and a lot of ordinary words so you can just use them as a mosaic and compose funny sentences on the fridge.

We have one such collection in our company kitchen, it has already given us a lot of funny moments at work.

The main purpose of this tool is to make laboratory staff do the same when they are waiting for a session to run in the lab, as labs are full of fridges to store the reagents and so on.

But there is one word which means more than anything to me and yesterday, I must admit, I took this word to my desk and sticked it on a metal surface: TIME.

Do you know that time is the ultimate decisive force in our life, that no other thing has such a great power? With time you have everything. You must take it and use it for what it is and never waste it or take it granted, never think that you have as much of it as you want. The time that is gone is gone forever.

When you are late, you are late and cannot turn it around. When you are too late, you cannot buy more time. When you have no time, you have nothing.

Káptalantóti ezen a héten (de csak nekem) elmarad!

Elsősorban azokhoz szólok, akik rendelést adtak le, remélem, olvassák a blogot. Sajnos ezen a vasárnapon rajtam kívül álló okok miatt nem tudok Káptalantótiba menni, elnézést kérek ezért. A megrendelt munkák készülnek, kérem a tulajdonosokat, vegyék fel velem a kapcsolatot. Köszönöm!

Summary in English: Unfortunately I cannot attend the Káptalantóti fair this Sunday. Please contact me if you had an order I should be handing over there. Thank you!

Cross the Sea

This piece has its owner already, a lady who loves lighthouses. She asked me a long time ago to make her something in the sailor-theme so I bought the components immediately but somehow forgot about the project later on. It was already a shame so now I recovered my backlog towards her.

These earrings are 8 cms long which could be too long for a lot of people but look great with the long neck and curly hair she has.

And then when I was ready I forgot to take proper pictures so I only have this one which I took for her to give confirmation via email. But I decided to post it anyway because this story brings warmth to my heart no matter how great or not the photo might be.

Sail on, cross the sea, find your lighthouse darling!

At Work

I was at work this evening and it was a quite productive session. The ready pieces are coming soon!

No More Lonely Hearts

Do you remember the crochet acorn I received from a lady hand-making them in Holland?

I ordered it along with some other designs, such as this 100% romantic pink stuffed heart. I know it's not everybody's style, but believe me, the girls loved it at the fair, I saw many sad faces leaving when their Mummies said "no".

This is the only one I have in this color but in case you have a lady in your family or circle of friends who would be absolutely delighted to get a heart in the form of a necklace or charm or whatever your fantasy lets you find out, I still have some left in similarly wonderful colors. Just let me know and I will make it for you. Don't let hearts stay lonely!
