Anyone for Good Luck?

Chinese Coins are round with a square hole in the center, which represents the harmonious union of Heaven and Earth. I keep them in my wallet and never run out of cash.


You could also stick them:

• To the underside of your doormat and everybody who will be entering your home will be bringing in money energy. 
• In your wealth corner (according to Pa Kua - Southeast) to attract auspicious money luck.
• On your account book, it will increase business luck.
• On your telephone or fax machine to receive good news and attract more calls from important people.
• On your cash box, cash registers or safe to ensure they are always loaded with money.

Always display them with the Yang side up. The Yang side has four Chinese characters whereas the Yin side has two.

Carats are good for you!

I don't normally work with "real" gold, mostly plated findings, however I came across this Carat table and thought it would be worth sharing.

I think in the US it is actually Karats, hence the K when you are talking about gold. But it looks better with a C don't ya think?

How to make your own Jewellery Display

I was tired of having to untangle all my silver chains, and having all my necklaces stuffed in a drawer seemed such a shame.  After a quick trip to Bunnings I decided to get a bit creative and make my own display.

I am NOT good at woodwork.  I distinctly remember my effort at school.... a "tape" rack that the tapes kept falling off (it was wonky!)  Thanks to the relatively minor amount of cutting and measuring, and the wonderful invention of "Liquid Nails" this project was relatively easy.

I have no idea what type of wood I bought, other than the back board was MDF (I lurve MDF.. might brag about my desk project in another post)  I just bought pieces that fitted the idea I had in my head.  I bought some flat strip, about 1 inch wide, a piece of dowel for my bracelet holder, and a chunky piece of wood for the ends.  Then I bought a heap of cup holders (make sure the screw in part is not longer than the thickness of your wood), a packet of L hooks and a pack of cork tiles.

I cut my flat strip into lengths to match the width of my board, and used the liquid glue to stick them in place.  Use bulldogs clips or clamps to hold them in place until they dry.  Then I used 2 cork tiles underneath the top strip, then another strip, then another 2 tiles, then another strip. 

The ends of the bracelet holder were a bit trickier.  I just cut 2 blocks, and used a drill bit the same diameter as my dowel to cut a hole in the middle, to about 3/4s of the way through.  Then I used my Dremel to cut from the edge to the sides of the dowel hole, again about 3/4s through, then chiselled out the middle.  This means I can slide the dowel in and out to put the bracelets on. I glued the ends onto the bottom of the board, with the dowel holes facing up, then trimmed the dowel to fit snugly into the ends.

Once the glue had dried I screwed the cup holders and L hooks on to the wood strips, about 5cm apart.  For the middle strip I set them halfway between the cup holders in the top row, and then did the bottom row same as top row.  This way my long necklaces won't interfere with the row underneath.  The idea of the cork was that if I wants to hang matching earrings next to necklaces, or smaller necklaces closer together, I could use push pins to hang them wherever I like.

Once done, just a couple of holes either end for the screws, then screwed it into the wall (look out for "wall mates" - they are awesome!) Voila, now I can see exactly what I have, they don't tangle and getting ready in the morning is a breeze!
