I was having one of those days, where I just need to pick up the hook, pick up some yellow cotton yarn from the stash and crochet something. I was looking through some crochet books to get some ideas and this is the bag I decided to make.<br>
<br>
Turns out quite pretty, the bag actually stretches out quite a lot, expandable especially when... </div>

Here is my DYMO labelled shampoo and conditioner. I am recycling and reusing bottles from previous usage, so, good for me for being environmental friendly. Removing the previous original labels was another story all together. Maybe in future, I will write a post on how I remove unwanted labels.<br>
<br>
Well, I found a vintage DYMO maker in my parents place. Could not believe that they still kept it, probably it has been more than 20 years. So what I did was...<br>

Latest project done, hot pink crochet top handle bag. I have probably spent hundred of hours making this bag, thinking, planning and slowly crafting it into one of the best creation I have ever made so far.<br>
<br>
I was actually so inspired by Dolce and Gabbana Miss Sicily bag, that I just have to make a top handle bag. I remembered thinking, as quoted by Pablo Picasso...<br>

I have done another home project, that is crocheting a sofa pillow cover decor. Crocheting thin black crochet thread is never easy. I have to sit by the window, or have a bright light on my work, to keep me going without having to guess which stitch to put my hook into. I understand now why most crocheters avoid crocheting black at all times. Haha. But the result of a black crochet is always timeless and beautiful. Click 'read more' for more photos...<br>

Origami paper. I didn't want to make the usual paper bird, which I love to make by the way. So last night, I searched for what I can do with the stack of colourful origami paper I bought many months ago. This is what I found...<br>

I made this heart shape on my bedroom wall. Nice? Made by cutting kraft paper sticky roll into little squares and sticking it on the wall. Alternatively, you can use sticky notes, which I think would be better, because the one I used, stick rather strongly and made removing harder; warning may remove wall paint. So...</div>

There are 2 ways of reading a crochet pattern. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Written and chart. Which do you use?<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find both interesting. Many self taught crochet beginner, will start with written pattern. It will definitely help to learn the basics with the very elaborative explanations. But then later finds out that there are a whole lot of patterns in charts, and then learning it again on how to...<br>
