What I've Been Up To Post

 Hey! What's doing? Sorry for the loooong pause in posting. The above and below baby beanies and roses were ordered by a lovely friend of mine. Four beanies for boys.

 Six beanies for girls.

 And 10 pieces of roses.

 These are 50 pieces of roses ordered by one of my best friends, Linda.

 I made some handmade cards for Eid last month, just for fun. I didn't realize they would get so much response! Next year I will definitely make more :)

 I bought some more Indonesian cotton yarns. I just love the colours!

 And here are some more lovely yarns :)

Lastly, a beautiful gift from a lovely friend and fellow crocheter, Neza.

'Til my next post...

What I've Been Up To Post

 Hello, hello! How are you all faring? Just fine, I hope :)  Ok, this is a slouchy beanie with brim ordered by a customer. I used 2 strands of Nona yarns to make it sturdier. This is one of my favorite hat patterns to crochet :)

 Another order from a customer, a pouch for her G Note and 3 rose brooches. I hope she'll like them!

 A surprise package from Ana of Ana y el ganchillo blog. She's a sweet, sweet lady friend from Spain whom I met online. Look at what she sent me recently!! I just love everything especially those yarns! Once again, thank you, Ana!

Yarns and a Clover hook I ordered from a friend. The hook is really comfortable!

That's all for now. Hopefully, I'll be more diligent with my crochet projects and updating this blog in the very near future!

Lastly, I'll leave you with a new favorite poetry I found on Pinterest.

What I've Been Up To

 Hello! 

Thiset of scarf and beanie were ordered by my loyal customer, Sus. I used Alize Superlana Klasik yarns in a soothing colorway which reminded Hazel and I of the beach.

 And she also ordered this Boho slouchy beanie made with Ice Magic Light yarns. I just love the colors!

Lastly, here's a poncho requested for a swap from a friend from the Netherlands, Susan.

I'm making a dress at the moment and I hope to finish it in a few days time. So many things I wish to make but sometimes I get overwhelmed with too many patterns! What are you making at the moment?

What I've Been Up To

 Hi everyone! It's been almost three weeks since my last post. Been busy finishing up orders and lazing about after Raya. Above are 25+1 pieces of cotton roses.

 25 pieces of small roses.

 5 pieces each of XL & L roses.

 And 50 pieces of leaves. All ordered by Sus, a lovely and very talented girl. She makes the most amazing felt crafts. An example is the hydrangea brooch below.

 As soon as I saw it on her Facebook page, I ordered one. And she graciously made a smaller one for Hazel as well. The lovely yarns were swapped on Swap Workshop.

 Look at Hazel posing with her brooch.

 And mine looks perfect on my new green blouse. Do visit her store for ready made products here and her craft supplies here.

 These 10 pieces of small roses were ordered by Yana a few days ago and since I was in the mood to make roses, they were finished in a day's time. If you look closely, they are slightly different from the small roses above(second pic). I accidentally added ch2 in between the petals and the petals closes instead of opening up. How come I never noticed that??

 And I tried out three different patterns as well during my 'hiatus'.

 I just can't get enough of buttons! And I ordered 100 pieces of wooden buttons recently. Anyone interested in buying some? Do send me an email.

Hazel on the second day of Hari Raya.  We didn't take many photos so I can't show more. Sorry!

Lacy Shell Hat - Summer

 I made some new hats recently meaning a few days ago. I was in a 'hats frenzy'. I especially like this hat. Do you recognize the pattern? It's the Lacy Shell hat but in a multicolored cotton thread. It can fit both Hazel and myself as I made it bigger than the previous ones, so this size fits almost all. (You'll notice soon that this is the best pic of all in this post. I took this last facing away from the sun. I know now the better angle when taking pictures when the sun is setting).

 Butterflies Hat - Autumn

A new hat with small butterflies-like pattern using cotton thread as well. Hmmm, maybe I should take another shot of this hat..

 It is meant for adults, that's why you can't see Hazel's profile.

Sideways Shell Hat 

Another new hat with shells that are slanted sideways-hence the name. I just can't come up with a better name! Also for adults.

Brimmed Slouchy Beanie
And lastly, a brimmed slouchy beanie which I came up with by combining 2 patterns.

And yes, it is a bit big for Hazel. I need your opinions here, please. I thought about buying a mannequin's head as my model instead of Hazel. Just to look more professional. What do you think?

'What I've Been Up To' Post

 I've been quite busy these past few days finishing up some orders. This headhugger was ordered by Elyne as well as the slouchy beanie below.

This is a two tone wool burgundy/rose slouchy beanie. I do love the colors! And the rose just sets it off! It was a bit cloudy yesterday so the pics aren't so clear.

A blue mesh beanie to join the others in my shop.

Upclose.

And 100 pieces of small cream flowers ordered by Deja. That tiger cushion is Hazel's :)

A collage of Hazel in some not-so-perfect-cartwheel-actions. She likes to practice on the beach. Not so painful when she lands on her bottom :p

Have a happy week!

'What I've Been Up To' Post

I managed to make these items before we head back to our hometown tomorrow. Woohoo! A blue mesh slouchy beanie for a return local customer.

 A white slouchy beanie for another return customer, Lin.

 And a grey bag for me! It's a last minute project and the handles are off centered, which is frustrating and I didn't have the time to redo them. And I forgot to take a pic of the lining. The flower is actually a brooch and I  have the choice of changing it's position or take it off. Hazel is not well, feverish since yesterday but that didn't deter her from sitting for exams. Poor her..and tomorrow we have a long trip to the airport. First by ferry then by bus. It takes a total of about 6 hours to reach the city where we're to take the flight and as if that's not enough trouble we have to sleep overnight as the only flight is in the morning. That's one of the reason we seldom go back. Did I mention the costs?

And this cute Matryoshka doll I won in a birthday giveaway on Swap Workshop recently. 

Ok, I might not be able to post anything during this trip but I'll try.

Have a great school holiday to all Malaysians!
