A Work in Progress...

Despite my busy schedule (wife-mom-work), I still make it a point to pick up my hooks and yarns once in a while... Crocheting, just like beading, reading books and blogging, has always been my way of relaxation.  But I must say that it serves as my #1 most of the time... Mainly because I love making crochet items for the people I love.

For a month now I've been desperately looking for a nice crochet sandals pattern that I can follow for my daughter. I am working on one and here's a snap shot of it:

Together with the printed pattern I saw online, I am using 2 balls of crochet thread and a size 2.10mm steel hook. The one you're seeing is the actual sole of the left foot of the slippers however, I ended up breaking it again because I couldn't figure out whether I missed a step or there's discrepancy in the pattern I am using. Either way, I am sad. Makes me really want to just purchase one MJ pattern from Etsy!

Oh well, well see...
I'll definitely post the picture of the finished slippers here anyway.
You'll just have to watch out for it :)

But until then...
I have to cut this blog short now because I will have to bath PM.

Hiatus Mode

It's been a while since I last posted something to this blog...
And quite frankly, it's not because I lost the hang of it but I haven't had much time on my hand to do crochet projects after my baby's birth. :(
My baby + the office work load that I currently have are the things thats been eating most of my time the past month.

Last night though, I tried to pick up my hook and yarns again.
I've been wanting so bad to make Pm an MJ sandals...

I have this free improvised MJ pattern that I saw online. I am currently working on it and keeping my fingers crossed to finishing it soon. However, I only have the sole done last night because I had to stop to put my baby to sleep.

But as soon as I am done with it, I promise to post a picture of how it turned out.


Aaahhh... crocheting still gives me this natural high... I am so much in love with it! :)
