Had an order from my friend to make a keychain that represents a symbol or mascot of FreeBSD - it's an open source Unix based operating system (you can google it to make sure and correct me if I mistake) - called Beatsie.
It wasn't too difficult to make it.
Just provide some meters of light red yarn, a bundle of dacron and a keychain.
Crochet it cirlce using sc stiches and taraaaaaa.... finish!!
Only took 15 minutes to make it completely. So simple, right ??? v^.^v

Aylo the Inu

It's been a long time not to crochet an amigurumi and I miss it a lot !!!
So I began crocheting based on a pattern, a dog amigurumi pattern, I found in one of crocheting website - forget to copy paste the link as my reference.
Started crocheting yesterday and just finished its head, body and 4 legs. I thought I'm going to continue this tomorrow because I felt so tired and I had to get up early in purpose to go to the church (hey, tomorrow is an Easter day and I have to go to the church with my family).

Tomorrow has came but when I wanted to continue this ami, my laziness came up - bad behaviour I've had and cannot be erased if I've done monotonous activity.
So, to release that bad behaviour, I watched a DVD. Picked a movie titled 'Hachiko - A dog's tale', played it in my DVD player....
The movie is ssoooo ggggooooddd according to my opinion.
So touching with the dog's loyalty and I cried watching it. It reminds me to my oldest dog named Aylo that already passed away many years ago in front of me - I think she wanted to say good bye to me....

(The pictures above was taken 1 day before Aylo passed away. She was a gorgeous dog I ever had in my life and I late to realize that. A smart and understanding dog).

After watched the movie, suddenly I had a great spirit to finish this ami.

So here it is....
I devided its color into white and dark brown yarn. Because of my carelessness, I made its eyes too big. So I circumvented these with made a circle around the eyes by remainder white yarn - look like an eyelid.
Also I add a green necklace around its neck with a blue shiny star as a necklace pendant.

To be honest, I'm not satisfy with the result - its eyes are still too big for me, make this dog doesn't look like a real dog.
Someday if I have a good mood to make an amigurumi, I'll crochet this dog amigurumi again, near like a real dog, hope I can do that :)
Size = 5 X 6 cms.

* This amigurumi is my honour for all dogs in the world, thanks for being a human friend and brightening our days without any intention from us...

Baby Hat with overlapping flowers

Couple weeks ago, my friend asked me if I can make a baby hat like some pictures she had shown to me. Without any doubt I replied yes and not took so much time I already finished the hat on last week. Then, I made a bunch of flower consist of different pink yarns to beutify its look.


To be honest I really really like this hat and for your info, I made this pattern by myself.
See the example pictures that my friend had given to me (consists of sc stiches and some rows of shell stiches I think), I modified the stiches with dc for row above and bottom, also 3 rows of shell stiches in the middle.

For the flower, I used 3 different colors of pink - pink pale, pink mud, and pink same as the hat - and attached 1 pink bead on overlapping flowers. I didn't sew this flower but I used a pin (like a brooch) so that if my friend want to change it frequently, she can do it as she want to.

Next question in my mind is how do I give this hat to her baby ???
Sorry girls, I haven't visited yet both of you @_@
Well, hope she and her lovely daughter love it.... ^.^

Diameter = 52 cms.

ID Card Necklace

Finally I made this neclace to put my ID Card by myself !!!

Using sky blue yarn, a key holder, and a light blue stopper results a lovely bluish id card necklace which I love it very much !!!
ehehehe...

Dissapointed with previous hanger that can be broken easily & placed it in the shirt near chest, this hanger I made in purpose to be hung in my neck.

And I think it won't be broken anymore even it is not too thick - unless it cuts by a scissors or any sharp thing.

The pattern I take from a crochet book authored by Thata Pang (her third book if I'm not mistake). Soo, do you like my new ID Card necklace gals ??? ^.^



Length = 82 cms.

Goliath Tote

Finally I finished making this bag !!!

I name it Goliath Tote because of its size which is very very big according to my opinion.

This is my friend's order and I made it more than a month !!!

The obstacle was feeling so bored when made this bag; monotonous pattern; felt never ending project and tired - not every week I crocheted this bag because I had prioritized activities to be done, not to mention that my friend don't like bright color - made me little bit confused between how to match the colors and I only have limited yarns in my house.

To make this bag different from other model bag, I attached some colored butterflies on it in the corner.
Different color butterfly on each side (as her request). On front side, I used light blue and purple yarn and back side, creamy and light blue butterfly. I also sewed few blue sequeins in large butterfly to make it shiny.

My friend always say to me that she don't like girly stuff and like bigger size bag with short handle... and here it is, I hope you like the bag I made it to you with all my love, time, and energy.... ahahahha....

The lesson I get from this project is never never again accept order for a very very big size bag... Soooo boringggg you knowwww !!! Ehehehee....


Size = 44 X 34 cm.
