A Little Girl - Nicole

Meet Nicole.


This poor girl's suffering from a bad hair year and had to hold down her unruly mob of hair with a red hair band.


But I'm trying my best to rectify the situation for her...


...Shall I cut it into a bob? Perhaps layer it? Or maybe rebonding will do the trick?...

It's Just My Imagination

What's this?...


Have I just entered the Twilight Zone?





Is this an E.T.?

Happy Birthday, Brother #1

♫♪ Happy Birthday to you ♫♪ Happy Birthday to you ♫♪ Happy Birthday to Bro#1 ♫♪ Happy Birthday to you! ♫♪


It's your big day today!

I didn't 'bake' you a cake this time. Thought I'd make you something else this year...

How about a crocheted slice of birthday pizza? Hope you like it.







生日快乐! Here's wishing you good health & happiness always!

Less Than Perfect - Pink Piglet

I must admit that little pink piggy here is not very well crocheted. There are big gaps here and there that would make any expert crocheter cringe. However, despite all the imperfections, I didn't throw it away cos I like how this piglet looks - it's big ears & smiling eyes. I call this 缺陷美!


Oh, and this lucky piggy does not have weight problems too.


Look, it's a long-legged slim beauty! Ha!


Come to think of it, I've never thrown away any of the things I made including those crafting mishaps. Yes, of course there are crafting mishaps - like everything else in life, sometimes the crafts turn out in forms other than those I envisaged. But I still keep them just because I made them with love - my passion for crafting. Maybe someday I'll show them to you but are you strong enough to stomach them, I wonder... :D

Remember my trip to Daiso a couple of months back? Well, little pink piggy here was crocheted with the S$2 yarn I bought there. I still have a big ball of that pink yarn left, wonder what I should make next...

Eggy Piggy

A belated Happy 2010! A little late, I know but better late than never, right? :D

Oh, I finally made a trip to Spotlight and Daiso the other day. There were so, so many things that I had wanted to buy but couldn't carry them all home. I bought some craft supplies and also this:


I like stuff made of wood and so I had to buy this wooden box even though I didn't know what I shall use it for (not to mention it only costs S$2!). But I'm sure I'll be able to find some use for it...trust me, I'm very good at that (especially when I wanted something desperately) :)

Now, I use it to house my crochet needles! Mum bought me these crochet needles many, many years ago...probably more than 15 years ago?


I haven't crocheted for a long time as I couldn't find any nice patterns in diagram format. You see, I have problem reading those crochet instructions in written form.

But last Christmas, with nothing better to do, I decided to try crocheting again but this time using a written pattern and these were what I made:


*Hello, I'm little Eggy Piggy*


*I like to eat apples*


*This weird yellow apple, like me, was born on Christmas day*


*Well, I'm off now...to market, to market...to buy more apples...Ta ta!*


Little Eggy Piggy and weird yellow apple turned out a little wonky but I like them :). Now I have no more fear, will continue to try to crochet some other stuff using written patterns!

Crochet Doggies

Do you see a familiar shape? The dog's body was created by crocheting over a "Yakult" bottle (you can use a "Vitagen" bottle if you like). Not only do I get to enjoy my "Yakult" drink, I can even make something with the plastic bottle! Cool!
