It has been a while since I last updated my blog. Blame it to the microblogging websites and social networks that gives me immediate gratification for posting. I have been actively updating my [#ginantsilyo, @ginantsilyo] Instagram, that I have left out this blog to (rot).

So just to make it updated, I would summarize what I have been up to.

First, I had a baby. She’s almost one now. Another excuse why blogging strides down my priority list. If you are looking at my facebook page (http://facebook.com/ginantsilyo), you will see her as my page’s profile pic.

I have tried making her a crocheted dress. The only one so far.

I have been gardening.

A lot.

This is the only recreational activity that I can take the time to do. Because it does not require hours of my time.

BUT.

This year, I am planning to straighten things out and actually achieve a GOAL.

I want to write a crochet book, and for that, I have been trying to create original combination stitches.

‘Tis hard but I have to do what I have to do to be able to achieve one of my life’s dreams.

Since December of 2014, I have been concocting a number of stitches for my crochet projects.

I was able to come up with more than ten stitches as we speak. That is already making me happy.

I will try to journal my journey towards achieving this goal

And you know, I have been admiring the author of http://outstandingcrochet.blogspot.com for the longest time. I love all the things she features in her blog Sometimes i do wish that one of my works would get featured there 😀 You know, when you just stare longingly at those beautiful creations and you were like, how could they crochet so neatly and lovely.

those sort of things

Anyway, Happy New Year and let us all hope for a wonderful year ahead!
