The fifth Christmas in Japan

Got one delayed EMS delivery to the U.S and two non-payment buyers today. I haven't had any troubles in delivery and haven't met non-payment buyer before. All those came to me today! But things are not that bad. I had a great meal with my lovely hubby and got some new ideas in making jewelry.
Recently made several designs with crochet. I used 30 ga sterling silver wire in these hoop earrings.

I wonder where I can find silver wire thinner than 30 ga. I want softer and thinner wire for crocheting. I hardly create crocheted pieces in gold filled simply because I couldn'f find gold filled wire thinner than 28ga.

Here is one necklace. With the new way for crocheting a leaf.

Purple+Blue+Pink is one of my favourite color combination. Those lovely rondelles are amethyst, iolite, tanzanite and aquamarine. And the pale yellow color lemon quartz briolettes fits perfectly in this design.
