Gold Price Increase

April 2015

Sadly today I have had to put up the prices of gold pendants and chains on my site. I tried to put this off as long as I could, with recent drops in the Aussie Dollar to the US Dollar gold prices have risen in Australia. I try to keep everything as affordable for families as possible and the prices on site as up to date as possible

The memory of a Lifetime

"The Memory of a Lifetime"

This is the story of a personal friend of mine, I would have met her almost 5 years ago now. I remember the day I met her and I even remember where we were sitting and setting up in the gym that day before the class I can even see what Helen was wearing.

We chatted away as most people at the gym do and Helen asked me what I did for a living, in a brief way I explained what I did with my jewellery and Sue-Ella Signature Designs.

Then I saw her face change, her eyes changed and I knew I was looking into the face and eyes of a lady that had lost a baby. My heart broke for her and I asked her what her little girls name was. I remember her telling me Soraya, it had been a long time since her loss and a long time since she had told a "stranger" her little girls name. Soraya was born sleeping in a time "back then" when you did not say the name of a baby that had died.

We hugged I told her how sorry I was for her loss and what a beutiful name her little girl has

I knew we would be friends forever

This is her story and she wanted me to share

The Memory of a Lifetime

By Helen Desic

My gorgeous memory ball represents the most important things in my heart. My husband, Frank, and I met at the end of 1991. By January 1992 we were engaged and married in March 1993. He’s my soulmate and best friend on this planet. On 15 January 1995 our son, Liam, was born. We had very little to our name but this bouncing baby boy was a joy like no other. He was a miniature Frank, playing drums by the time he was 18 months and we he was the absolute light of our lives. In the midst of buying our land and Frank building our house, another Desic baby was on the way and due in October 2000.

I found out my second baby was a girl at the 18-week scan and Soraya’s pregnancy was as normal as they come. The due date was 21^st October. We were thrilled….a pigeon pair! A gorgeous son already and now a daughter to finish our family, what more could we ask for? October was upon us and I was attending the Beaudesert Hospital for check-ups. On the 25^th October, 4 days overdue, I attended a hospital appointment for a ‘strip-and-stretch’. The doctor advised me to return to the hospital in the afternoon for induction the next day. I was prepared for the hospital so I arrived and was admitted as the only patient in the maternity ward.

Thursday, 26^th October, 40 weeks 5 days pregnant, started early, with the nurses checking on the baby and myself. I telephoned Frank about 8am and advised that the doctor would be in around 9am to break my waters so you and Bec, my sister who was attending the birth, can mosey on down in the next few hours. The nurses came in to check my vitals and returned soon after to check the baby’s heartbeat. I was sitting on the chair and the midwife put the Doppler on my stomach and there was a slow beating sound and I noticed a ‘45’ on the screen of the Doppler. The midwife laughed and said, “I’ve never heard anything like that before”. Another try and there was no sound. She told me to get on to the bed and went to get another midwife and another Doppler. A few minutes later I had two midwives over me with two Dopplers on my full-blown belly. Nothing. No sound. Nothing. One of them said that I needed a scan. At this stage I was confused and didn’t know what to think. I was taken to the x-ray room. In the meantime, Frank and Bec arrived and joined me in the x-ray room. Our baby was gone. There was no heartbeat. She left. The following hours were a nightmare. Social workers, informing family, difficult decisions and the hardest of all - telling Liam her little sister had died. After a traumatic experience, Soraya Rayne Desic was born at 2:28pm on Thursday, 26^th October, 2000. She left this life as perfect and innocent as she entered it. She was 8 pound and not a mark on her, absolutely perfect. We spent time with her before she was taken. Her funeral was the following Monday, the day my milk came in. Still in shock and disbelief, I somehow continued on for my family. I was a mother to two children but I only had one in my arms. The months ahead were very difficult. I fell pregnant 7 months later and our second daughter, Kate, was born in February 2002. She was a delight and another absolutely beautiful Desic baby. Frank and I felt we were hadn’t finished our family so Lara was born in April 2006 to finish our family.

The memory ball that Sue created is so precious because it holds all the photos of the people that are embedded in my soul and are more valuable to me than life itself. Thank you Sue.

Thank you for sharing Helen

Back To School

"This time of Year" so hard for so many

This week for most of Australia was "Back to School" week

My news feed on FB has been filled with smiling faces of my friends beautiful children heading off to "first days" of everything from Prep to "last first day of school" for those entering grade 12.

Wow how fast they have all grown it is hard to keep up and I wish you all the best for the coming school year

Some of these georgeos kids I love so much and many of them are rainbows so very exciting times indeed for families

As exciting as the new school year is for many my mind always turns to many of my friends this year that are in pain and find this time of year very difficult, as news feeds will up and the TV news continually has "Back to School" stories and tears from young ones as well as mum's and dad's

Sadly many of my friends have tears of another kind. Painful tears as their children that should be starting school never got to live long enough to go. They miss out on this time and I know it hurts and I wanted to blog today to say I am thinking of you all and sending love and peace to your hearts

Some of my friends have Rainbows and will one day all too soon get that "first day of school" photo and that is fantastic I look farward to that day very much.

Sadly some of my friends are like us and will never get to take that "first day photo" ever. It is one of those dreams that will never come true one of the many hopes and dreams you have for a child when you first find out you are pregnant

For these friends I can not find words of comfort I just wanted you to all know how much I do think of you this time of year. How much I know it is just not fair and it will never make sense to me how many of you, all of you so beautiful and who have such loving homes that sadly may remain empty of earth children. To you all I send so much love.

This came up on a friends news feed today and I had already planed to write this post and I guess this was a reminder from my Angels to make sure I did

We all have hopes and dreams for our children from that day we see those two pink lines or the little stick that says "Positive". To me it does not mater how long you carry your baby for me it was not long for either of them but our dreams were the same.

Chillie Girl

So many of you all ready know our dog Chillie a 14mth old Border Collie.

This is a photo of Chillie taken two days before a dog viciously attacked her this past Monday and we had to rush her to an emergency vet for surgery

She was doing nothing more than her usual walk with myself and my husband when from the opposite side of the road a dog broke free from its harness and attacked Chillie. Chillie is a passive timid little girl and did not fight back and immediately rolled onto her back and gave up. If my husband had not been with me I am sure we would have lost our little girl that day.

After surgery and hours of observation we had to pick her up from the emergency vet hospital and sadly while we waited to take Chillie home we had to be with people that did not have a happy outcome from their emergency trips

Their faces, their grief, their tears just tore me apart, I sat there in tears not for our Chillie as she was coming home but for these families that beloved animal family members would not be.

I have helped many of you with jewellery for your beloved pets. Some four legs some feathers and even a much loved rat whose foot print I did and I still remember those little toes.

So for those I have helped in the past with pets I have had so many of you on my mind this week with our close call. For those that may not know I do pet memorial this is a time I have been prompted to remind all

All family members deserved to have their lives honored and remembered in jewellery if that is what you chose to do. All my jewellery can be adapted for pets and I am asked all the time if I do. The answer is Yes of course I do.

This post is dedicated to those that lost a pet family member that day and sending love out to the universe to you. Thinking of you and truly understanding your pain as we have been there when we lost our beloved Shep so many years ago. I have had pets all my life and I have lost many. The joy they bring to your life is so great yet the sadness when they leave is so incredibly heartbreaking and immense

Welcome 2015

I am back from a lovely break and hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and Safe New Year. I know the holiday season can be tough on so many of you and I hope it was not too unkind to your hearts.

As memtioned in previous blog posts I am returning to making my jewellery in 2015 and my wait list is now open

However I will be working more with my husband in another business we have this year so my wait time on personalized or one off pieces of jewellery may be a little longer than in previous years

I will always do what I can for families that contact me it just may take a little longer

My email remains the same and my blog very much a guide to idea, as I like no two pieces the same as no two lives are the same just email me to work out what is perfect for you

May you all have a truly blessed 2015

My Plans for 2015

♥

I think today as I turned over my calendar it could not have been more appropriate and I guess, yes very much a sign

After taking a bit of time over the last week and a bit and talking to so many of you via emails, phone calls and texts I have decided to not let one person ruin my passion to help families

I will be returning to my Jewellery after the 10th of January 2015

However it will be in on a smaller scale and it may take a little longer to have things made for you as I very much will be taking on a bigger more active roll in my husbands business

Anyone that truly knows me knows that I would not ever let anyone down that needs me and over the past days I have received so much love and support. Countless comments and emails of how much my jewellery has meant to people especially this time of year. Phone calls, Texts, people so upset that they have been saving up to buy something from me (this broke my heart I must say). I even had a lady fly up from Sydney and stay with family and friends for 5 days while Jason and I worked on something for her. Wow dedication to my work

I truly have been overwhelmed with all your love and I return that love to you all now with this post

So for now from the Jordan's we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and for so many we know it is not an easy time of year and hope that it is not too unkind to your hearts

Have a safe New Year

See you in 2015

♥
