Crazy with the WIPs

Hey everyone, after having been quiet for long time, just wanna share some of my wips during those lazy days ha ha ha I admit I have been lazy to write something on my blog for quite a while because I am still stress and had been in the the rock bottom I guess, but hey! I am not here to talk about that stressing matters :). I am here to share the story about my never ending wips ha ha the problem is, when I got bored with the wip I am working on, I tend to start another one and then when I see something new, I start another then work with them simultaneously, yes been crazy lately but hey! at least I can be at peace during those times working on those wips and have a break from the stressful things in my mind.. As I always say "crocheting keeps me calm" :)
Anyways, here are the pics of my so called "work in progress or as we call it WIPs :)

I started with this spike stitch, was going to make a bag but I was bored of it & up to now still has the same size/lenght and still haven't find the mood to continue it.

From the spike stitch bag I  made another one this time I planned to make a purse but ended up as a hook case :)

Then I start a new wip which is a crocodile stitch purse up to now I haven't finish it as I am thinking if I put a long sling or just a wrist wrap and put a zipper or just a snap ??? , in here is my nephew wearing it as a beanie :) 

While thinking what to do with the croc purse I started a C2C blanket..

made a head band,

a coin purse,

made a shrug following a tutorial video.

also finished a bag  also following a video tutorial.

Then I won a yarn and tried making a summer top but alas! the yarn isn't enough. I have to de-frog the lower part and think of something else I can do and while  thinking of it...

I made this cute yummy cotton candy new born beanie,

followed by this cotton candy baby dress...

then made another croc purse but yarn ran out and it is supposed to be a phone casing but the customer wants purse like so she can put both her 2 phones inside..

so I tried making a new one, this time using a thread yarn, hopefully she'll like it.

while having a break with the croc purse made this strawberry bag :)

Then the meet and greet crochet for a cause is near and we have to bring some hats so I made these..

after the meet and greet they gave us some yarn to bring home and make some more hats and baby shoes to be donated to the orphanage. I never thought I could make these baby shoes, well I really don't feel like making it because it's too small and you know my patience ha ha ha but after seeing others made it and their works are so cute I sat down and work on it..et voila!

 and I also made these hats except the brown one, that was my sister's first project..YAY! so proud  teaching her.

.While having a little break from those baby shoes and hats for the orphanage... I deided to make my own hat and here it is, I will post the pattern here tomorrow:)

So that's my journey to the never ending WIPs,at least I finished some :)
  I still have some few wips that I haven't put there but didn't want you to be bored with my wips ha ha ha

Have a wonderful and blessed day everyone

Keep on smiling :)

My projects during my stressful month :)

Again.. I haven't post or write anything on my blog. Yes  have started many projects, I tried to copy one and up to now I haven't finish it yet, it look nice but  here is the picture of it so you may know what am talking about :)

I am still thinking if am going to copy it exactly or shall I add something something else as I am a little bit ashamed of myself as if am stealing somebody else's work instead, anyway for my own justification...LOL.. I didn't really copy it, it's not the same as the picture because it is somewhat hard to copy, the picture gets blurry if I try to zoom it ha ha ha. Up to this point I haven't finish it, so while thinking of what else to add.. I started another one. But it has been a stressful week, I have to take my sister to the hospital and so many other things that has keep my mind so chaotic yes chaotic I said because I'm just out of any ideas or solutions anymore so I said I NEED MY HOOK! so I grab my hook but I still don't know what to add on my existing project so I started a new so I post this  on my FB wall ha ha ha 

 At first, I said I am going to call this..lavender top, but when I am half done with it I tried fitting it and then thought that it could also be a skirt so I post this on my wall on FB and asked my friends which is better a skirt or a top...

Then some of my friends answered "BOTH'   and yes I PAUSED again to think lol and while I am thinking I started some other projects, small one this time ha ha ha

And finally I tried finishing my Lavender project which I called nos as  SKIRTOP he he

and here is the picture tada!!!

Crocheting really helps me when am stressed, it keeps me calm and makes me happy when am done with my project, I am so happy with the outcome :) 

Now I have too finish the other one but I guess a glass of red wine would be nice ha ha ha

Have a BLESSED day everyone and keep smiling :)

Time flies so fast and again I haven't post anything on my blog. I guess I have excuses for that as it's been a busy month for me, the renovation, visitors coming and staying for a week one left new one arrived ugh... don't have time for my hobby and don't forget the super active boy in his terrible two's.... Sometimes I even ask him "Baby, can Mommy have day off?" ha ha ha 
Anyways I mange to whip  my crochet wand to make a couple of summer dress for girls and here they are:

SC2013-GSD

My WIP

I am working on my summer top in mercirized yarn, last time I did it with 8 ply cotton.

Making this one in thread yarn will need a lining. I am still working on it, almost done but the cute little active boy wants my atterntion every time I take my hook and try to crochet ha ha ha 

'

I didn't write the pattern when I first made it. So, it's like trying to recall everything while doing it again.

HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED DAY EVEYONE :)

CROCHETING HEARTS, FISHES & OTHER THINGS :)

Hello everyone, been a bit busy for the last few weeks. What I have been busy about is learning to crochet a heart. Yes, a simple heart which I cannot perfect and am frustrated with my work and honestly almost given up making this hearts. Since the heart I made isn't perfectly shape as heart, I decided to make something else, I browsed the net and try to find something I could do, then I saw this orange fish in flicker and said I would like to try to make this one but sadly it doesn't have a written pattern and the creator of this crocheted fish said that she just made out of what comes into her mind (err.. am not sure if it's a she or he sorry I don't remember) So since there's no  pattern, I told myself look for another thing but the orange fish is so cute and so I said I CAN DO THIS and I grab my hook and started making one and I did it :) I was so happy when I finish it, though it is not that cute as the one in the picture I am so happy I could make one without a pattern and did it by just staring at the picture while trying to copy it and here are the picture of the fish and the other things that I have been busy doing for a while

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

KEEP SMILING & GOD BLESS :)
