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.

Side Tracked... Again.

I mentioned in one of my previous post that I have started doing the shawl of amah. However, since my globe cell purse got broken and is a little too old already (must be the yarn, it's not really that good) I decided to make me one purse again, but this time using the Cannon size 8 thread.

I love its color because it's almost the same as my phone and the way it actually fits the phone. And since the cell purse I have made for Angie isn't really that polished, I am thinking of redoing one and using a thread instead of a yarn. After all, I have a purple thread. Only problem is, it would have to wait a little more while again since I promised to make a yellow one for shobe too.

Another thing that I've made is PM's red hat. We're attending angkong's birthday celebration tomorrow so I have decided to make her a red hat to match her red dress... =)

Check it out!

Crocheted Bonnet for PM

This is the bonnet made especially for PM even before she was born...
Made by one of my very close friends, Lorie.

The bonnet was actually made of a special soft yarn she bought from Dreams...

Photo taken on PM's week 1 & 3rd day.

To tita Lorie,

Thank you so much! I love you! 

Love, PM

"a bonnet full of love"

Love love love the bonnet & can hardly wait for the crocheted booties still made by her tita Lorie...!

December Crochet Projects

These are just some of the little things I was able to do while I was lying down in bed resting and PM sleeping...
Just practicing some of the things I want to be able to do once I am able to stand and/or sit longer than I can actually do now, or in short, as soon as my post-op wound heals.

Anyway here they are...
Sorry for the not so nice shots -- took them while I was lying down in bed. =)

Been-a-While

It has been weeks now since I have last updated my blog site... Not that  I have nothing to write about, I just don't have the time at the moment. Sad but true, I didn't even had the time to celebrate the holiday season!

I have a lot of things to actually write here, photos to upload of both my baby and the crochet crafts I am able to do little by little (only when PM's asleep) but I just couldn't find the time to blog and upload them. Every time I try to login, either PM all of a sudden wakes up or my wound would hurt that I am forced to just go back to bed and lie down. It's only been 3-weeks since the time I gave birth, I know I owe it to myself to let me rest more and heal... and enjoy PM.

Though I miss blogging and crocheting...
For the moment I know that I am better recuperating and taking care of my little one.

Nonetheless I promise to update this as soon as I feel a lot stronger and PM a little bigger.
