Beads Overload

Been a bit busy making some jewelry for the holidays. Got lots of different types of glass beads which I hope to turn into beautiful pieces.




My friend and I set up another blog where all stuff we sell goes but still working on it.

I Miss Crafting

Here's a striped bag I made a year or two ago which I just kept in my locker. It's a simple single stitch crochet which obviously was more time-consuming than other methods. I love how all the colors combine but never got to use it and just had it piled along with my other unfinished projects. My sister is giving it to a friend and that makes me glad because it'll finally be put to use. I have been so busy with other things but really miss crafting.

Little Crochet Dress

It's fun making tiny dresses such as this one. I used local "Monaco" mercerized cotton thread. Glad I found a tiny dress mannequin to put it on. Now it seems as if the little dolls are having fun window shopping....

Bags 'n Shoes

It's a lot easier to crochet tiny things. Here are some of the bags I crocheted for Barbie. Shoes in the photos are from Mattel.

This is one of my Barbies. She's not my favorite but I like her because she's got a belly button unlike the older dolls I have. It's also easier to make her dresses because her figure is more realistic. I'm hoping to upload images of the doll clothes I made. I just love making tiny dresses, caps and even bags.

This is one of the crochet bags I've finished. They're made in different colors/shades. Some I've given away and some I've sold. I should make another one like this. ;)My inspiration is here

Japanese Crafting

I first heard of Japanese crafting on the internet about 3 years ago. Now I've got these books in my collection:

The images in Japanese craft books are very well shot so it makes crafting even more inspiring.

crochet book

I've got myself a Holiday present. I've always wanted a real crochet book and finally got one from a local bookstore. Here's a photo of my book and a link to Amazon:


The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs: 500 Classic & Original Patterns

It's not really good for beginners but it's good for designers who want to experiment on patterns.

I've been working on several projects and I hope to post some pictures here. Happy Holidays crocheters and crafters out there! 8-)
