I have been watching quite a few documentaries lately and I came across Dirt! the Movie. It talks about how soil or what they call dirt is important to our lives. Then there is this animation about the humming bird that didn’t gave up like the others during the forest fire even when it is tiny and its effort may not mean a lot, when the other animals told it to give up, the humming bird said that them that it is trying its best.

I will try my best to do whatever I can to reduce, reuse and recycle. Believe that if everyone puts in a little effort everyday, it will come a long way in the future.  : )

Black bunny : Hey, you guys waiting to get fatten up?

Bunnies: Yay, we wanna look just like you! Feeling kinda flat here.

They will be ready to ship out in no time. (Tomorrow) XD Haven’t make them in awhile. I’m still taking orders if you are wondering. Hehe (shameless) Loving the colors here. : D Please feel free to email me if you would like to order some pocket friends. <3

Apart from crocheting, I’m still in love with sewing tiny felt stuff. Something about it that is very therapeutic.

This is a Tikam packet that I used to buy when I was a little girl. It’s a type of game that the convenient store will sell, mystery bag. There were many different types of Tikum back in the early 80’s or even earlier I believe but this is one them that I bought the most.

Basically there will be random small toys wrapped with layer of newspaper so we can’t feel what toys were inside and securely sealed up with a thick black plastic bag. I don’t remember what picture did they print on the surface of the bag. But it used to make me all excited before opening the bag. LOL

One childhood play thing down! What will I crochet next? XD

-__-;; I know the alphabets looks crappy… I tried felting it into the black bag but it won’t stick to the bag but end up getting all hairy… especially the K… so I end up sewing the A and M into the bag… I think I’ll probably redo this.

I think I’m too lazy to do big projects. I’ve always wanted to crochet something BIG, making a big project is a ‘dream’. But I’m too lazy and easily get bored after awhile. D: Since I hit maybe 60 stitches I get really bored and start to lose interest, especially foreseeing that I have to do 60 stitches for maybe 20 rolls… =A=;; I’m horrible, how am I ever gonna do any big project if I always lose interest. Maybe I need my design to spice it up until it is soooo motivating that I look forward to completing it.

So at the moment… probably gonna make small things. >3>;

is still on the way from being completed.

The thing I like about crocheting amigurumi is that even if I only know 1 stitch I can still make something out of it. With just simple shapes, we are able to use our creativity to create something simple or even complicated. I only need yarns, scissors, hooks, tv shows and that’s about it!

(Though sometimes it hurts my brain a little to think of something different to do. LOL)

It is something I enjoy a lot. : )

 

Lazy Sunday, woke up at noon… had lunch, watched teewee then proceed to crafting. Today I’m tackling Tomato Chan but… I wrote tomatoe. OxO… haiz haha! At the same time, I am watching Footsteps In Malaysia on xinmsn.com : D doing more research to look for more places to go up north~ So far so good, didn’t see anywhere that I wanna go, but there are sure a lot of interesting things out there! : ) Gonna continue crocheting and watching.

Well.. I’m kinda distracted by soccer and Gmarket at the moment… this place is an evilly good place for shopping!!! XD wahaha bought myself a hair straightener that I’ve been hunting for a long long time… I hope it’s a good buy. XD

Gosh the goal that England scored wasn’t counted was a shame!!! D: and now it’s 4-1… I’m even afraid to look at the tv screen. ^__^;;;

I made a wire armature within the slingshot, need it to be steady when I pull up. I always thought that making a crochet item with armature was something very difficult but actually with the right step and if it’s not too complicated it’s something doable and doesn’t really take a lot of time. For this, it is really easy because of the shape.

Here is the slingshot and 2 mud balls. hehe…  it is really fun and I think it is safe enough for kids to use it. Not that there’s any kid that is old enough to use it… Hmm other than me being the old kid. LOL It’s a fun project! Also good way to practice my crochet.

Here the video that I made for fun. XD

This is how flexible crocheting is. It is possible to make your own ball joint plushies by understanding the nature of your yarn and crocheting.

These are the crochet hooks that I have, yet I only use 3 of them most of the time. Especially the Clover one, it has a really comfortable grip and don’t stress my hand so much. Some of the silver hooks are probably over 20 years old hence they are a little rusted in the middle. My mom gave them to me when I was learning. Gave.. isn’t the right word, we share them but since she don’t use anymore I kept them and I took them with me when I moved. HAHA Sorry Mom! : P Then it’s the bigger wooden and aluminum hooks, I seldom use them as I don’t really buy thick yarns and have no intention to buy any thick yarns at the moment, since storage is a problem. Probably I’ll get them when our new house is here in a few years. : )

The Birdman’s performance is amazing. : ) <3
