Ruffle Hat

Hi loves

Have you seen those hats that are taking the internet by storm? They're all over TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and I just had to give them a try. It was a breeze to make the hat, but the final two rounds of ruffles took a bit of extra effort. In the end, though, it was totally worth it - both my daughter and I loved the finished product! 

There was just one tiny problem... the hat was so popular that it practically flew off my mannequin head with a buzz. My daughter was a little disappointed that she didn't get to keep it for herself, but hey, paying customers come first, right?

She wasn't disappointed for long, though. I'll show you why in the next post.

Until next time, let's be friends!

Saltwater Taffy Tee

Hi Loves, 

I discovered Temu, an online store sells yarn, while browsing TikTok one day. I was pleasantly surprised and decided to check out their app. After doing a search, I became very curious and decided to order a small amount of a cotton blend yarn. I waited for a little over a week for my package to arrive. Once it was delivered, I quickly opened it and was amazed by how soft and luxurious the yarn felt. I was excited to start making something, but I wasn't sure what to create. I started a few projects before finally settling on the Saltwater Taffy Tee designed by Rachel of Evelyn and Peter.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a hard time estimating the amount of yarn required for my projects. Unfortunately, this project was no exception - halfway through, I realized I needed more yarn and had to order it. As a result, I had to put the project on hold for about a week.

After waiting eagerly for my package to arrive, it finallyl's  did and I was able to dive back into my project. I spent countless hours working on it, perfecting every detail, and making sure that it was exactly how I wanted it to be. Finally, after two days of hard work, I was able to complete the project.

Butterfly Romper

 Hi Loves, 

This post is about a butterfly romper that I made. The idea came to me while I was creating the Shyler Crochet Butterfly dress. I thought it would be a great idea to turn the dress into a romper. However, I got sidetracked when my daughter asked me to use the same dress design and modify it to make her prom dress last year. 

To make the romper, I started the same way Shyler did with the top/dress and followed the steps until I reached the section where I needed to split it into leg holes. This is where I started improvising.  After a few tries, I think I got it right.

After spending countless hours on making a beautiful romper, it sat completed and unclaimed on my mannequin. I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that my creation had nowhere to go and no one to wear it. However, when my birthday came around, I decided to take a chance and wear it myself. And let me tell you, it was such a confidence boost to wear something that I had designed and created myself. The romper was both sexy and comfortable, and knowing that I had made it with my own two hands made it even more special. It just goes to show that taking risks and trying something new can lead to some amazing results.

Cotton Fair and The Memory.

Hi Loves, 

As someone who loves creating things, whether it's knitting, crocheting, or any other craft, I always have a project in progress. So when I received a new type of yarn, I couldn't wait to try it out. I carefully inspected the yarn and was immediately struck by how soft and luxurious it felt in my hands. It was clear that this was a high-quality yarn, and I wanted to use it to create something truly special.

As I sat down to start my project, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. I wanted to choose the perfect pattern that would showcase the yarn's unique texture and colour. I spent some time browsing through my collection of knitting patterns, trying to find the perfect match.  After much deliberation, I selected Caia, designed by Petra Breakstone, one of my favorite knitters.

This was after receiving a notification from Google reminding me of a project I did a few years back. It was a pleasant surprise to see that my day of crafting had been captured in memory, and it made me feel grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passion.

Keychains

 Hi loves,

I am currently exploring the idea of participating in a craft market for the first time and I am in the process of considering various patterns to find the right items to create and showcase at the event. During my search, I stumbled upon a charming and delightful little dress that I believe would make a wonderful keychain for any girl or lady to use. I am excited about the possibility of incorporating this idea into my craft market merchandise and am looking forward to exploring other creative concepts as well.

I started off by creating a unique item for myself. After seeing how well it turned out, I decided to make one for a friend as well. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and it felt like a fire was ignited inside me. Suddenly, I found myself creating more and more of these items, and before I knew it, I had a collection of about a dozen. Each item was crafted with care and precision, and it brought me great joy to see others appreciate my work.

Until next time, let's be friends!

New Edition

Hi Loves, 

Upon receiving the news of my impending nephew's arrival, I was overjoyed and brimming with excitement. My mind was immediately flooded with ideas about what I could make for him. I spent hours poring over patterns and considering various options. After much deliberation, I finally decided to crochet a beanie for him, using the step-by-step instructions provided by Crochet For Life. 

Although I contemplated making other items, such as a cozy blanket or a pair of adorable booties, I ultimately settled on the beanie as it seemed like the perfect choice. However, I didn't just stop at the beanie; I also purchased another gift for my nephew and even crafted a handmade toy for him. I couldn't wait to meet him and see his reaction to all the love and care that went into his gifts.

By the way, I'm curious to know how did aunt do?

Grey And Yellow

Hi Loves, 

In my recent blog posts, I shared my experience of making the "Little Miss Daisy" swimsuit 🩱. Feeling creative, I decided to make another swimsuit, but this time I wasn't sure what to make 🤔. I spent some time thinking about the design and finally settled on a simple and cute one 😍. However, when I started working on it, it didn't turn out the way I had imagined 😕. After a few attempts, I managed to create a swimsuit that I was happy with 😊.

Let's discuss the colour combination. Doesn't the grey and yellow look amazing? Take a look at the mesh details on the side. Although the top may seem simple, I think the mesh on the side makes up for it. Do you agree?

Ooh Lala!!

 Hi  Loves, 

🤗 I hope everything is going well for you. I wanted to share that I made a really cute and simple top recently...  This top took less than 30 minutes to make...  But!! Baby!! These fringes took all day to cut and assemble.  They also took a lot of yarn.  But can I say it was all worth it?  My only regret is not taking a picture before adding those fringes.  Guess I was too excited. 

This top was one of Shyler Crochets' designs.  I am attaching the video so you can make your own if you think this top is a must-have in your closet.  I've also added a little snippet showing just how cute this top really is.  

Had to make another to show the top before the fringes (sample in size small)

Made size medium

Bandeau

 Hi Loves

Welcome to another blog, where I show you things I've made... 🎉 When you ask? Who knows. 😅 I amaze myself at how many things I make in a week, a month and even a year. 🤩 Sadly there are things I've made and haven't photographed for the mere fact that I tend to work mostly at night. 😔 I also don't have good equipment to facilitate my nightly excursions lol.. 📷 There are also the reasons of needing to deliver the items quickly and time did not permit the taking of photos due to poor lighting. 🕰️ I do promise to get my act together and ensure I document all my exploits. 🤞  

With that being said.  Here is a top I made sometime in 2023.  I got the inspiration from Shyler Crochets.  It was of an asymmetrical bandeau top.  I watched the video (see below).  

Decided I would use a yarn I had in my stash.  It was just one skein and not sure if I'd said this before, but I think I am somewhat delusional when it comes to how much yarn I need to do a project.  I never seem to gauge it right...  I always think "It's a small project, so this small skein/ball will do".  Silly, silly me.  This project was no different, so here I thought my one skein of this discontinued yarn would be enough.

I liked the colour and the little sparkle and shine, so of course I made it work.  This just meant I had to improvise, and as you may have noticed, I don't mind doing so.  

Are you ready for some magic? 🎩 Please lift the curtains and voila! 🎉 Behold the stunning transformation! It's like a whole new world out there. Isn't it exciting? 😃

See that beautiful shadow, lol?
