Changes

Last year, I got engaged to my six-year long boyfriend, Michael, a Phd Physics student, and just this May, we tied the knot at Mt. Carmel Parish church witnessed by our family and friends. It was a happy event, of course. It took a lot of our energy just to get through the wedding. What’s with a lot of hand-made articles we tried to include into that occasion.

Bejeweled Dog Collar Bangle

This is my second proper attempt on felting wool. Remember the bracelet I have felted before? I did the same thing on this one but repeated the whole procedure a number of times until I can barely distinguish the individual stitches. I am quite satisfied with the effect J The photos may not be too good to see the effect of felting. I think I am closer to creating a similar felted bangle on my felted wishlist :D Wish me luck!

I am a crochet addict, and recently i have infected my mother. She keeps wanting more and more crochet projects. She recently fulfilled my wish to have something ginantsilyo crocheted in my photoshoot when she made me these wonderful crocheted flowers.

Even momoink and yaki liked the flowers, look how they look so in love with each other.

Kuya Johann’s Orders

Kuya Johann is one of those people who supports me on this money – earning scheme. And as one of my supporters i ‘coerced’ him (literally??) to order something from me. And since he has no idea what crocheted stuffs he would ask me to do, i was the one who offered the stuffs he could order.

One. a crocheted seat rest. (Initial plan) turned head rest (because i ran out of yarn). I saw this cute pillow from a japanese crochet magazine, and I swore i have to make one, but i have to find someone to sponsor the project since I cannot afford to spend much yarn and just own the stuff. I am really on a tight budget here, you know.

And so, dear cousin is always enthusiastic about my crocheting and he obliged. For a promising 1,000 pesos. I will make him a crocheted pillow. And of course, since i diverted from what we talked about. (Black Baguio Yarns to Variegated Blue Wool Yarn) and (Seat rest to Head rest), the price went a bit lower. (750 pesos, cost of yarn is big since yarns are bought from Dreams Glorietta and Indonesia)

He was supposed to give this as a present. But he liked it so much so he’d rather keep it for himself. (thug my heart <3)blue pillow

You could use this pillow when you feel sleepy during office hours. Nice table decor too. :D

And these are violet purses he ordered from me too. Initial plan is 10 pieces. product turn out is 5. Lack of time.

These coin purses are really meant to be given away. He can’t possibly force to own violet coin purses. :D

If you are interested to order these stuffs. Leave a comment below.

Felting Wool – ahh the glory of it.

This was one of the reasons why i’ve been wanting to have wool yarns. I want to try felting and hehe. it was not easy  as i thought. The yarn did not felt the way i wanted it because my (lack of) patience took over.

I cannot share yet the experience since i am more excited about the result. I will share next time the steps I had taken but i want to share this wrist wrap i was able to make:
