I love making these beautiful rose brooches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each embroidery thread from Anchor or DMC makes exactly one rose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So it is so convenient to make in so many colors and I don't waste the yarn too.</div>

About a week ago, a lady from Canada asked me if I can make 15 roses for the nurses who took care of her grandpa before he passed away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was such an honor and I made them in 15 different colors.</div>

I really hope they'll like them.</div>

(And she does it way better and quicker anyway..)<br />
My sister crocheted this beautiful edge for me on my oh-so-short skirt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIF912vjsBwOOKsggpJxvcGj4J7cR1mfe28mw4tgF0W8MtHqN5GFtFwmLXZ9oKnpNjVwOPjs44twZc3UPkQLyjcrpP22623CrZ0oBfVahtxKTdPlYaYwjFajcWRdn2Wbbv3B5MOLBbFTYS/s1600/P1010644e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIF912vjsBwOOKsggpJxvcGj4J7cR1mfe28mw4tgF0W8MtHqN5GFtFwmLXZ9oKnpNjVwOPjs44twZc3UPkQLyjcrpP22623CrZ0oBfVahtxKTdPlYaYwjFajcWRdn2Wbbv3B5MOLBbFTYS/s640/P1010644e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I absolutely love it! (:<br />I've been meaning to crochet the edges myself for awhile, cos I really love that skirt.<br />
But I guess it must have "shrunk" over the years and it flew everywhere on windy day....the disaster...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_fkczml6DsTNhwWNhsPlKAqVJbqaczFpmxL5wb3eSzg2fcAzkyxNBLm8uKgJEoa8TX9zrd1qLHwUOHn_tSvVgUdKPTN1UmgF7xw5kOrKdA8VbKCXd97ZvHy05dkFi3ILPTPXIxDcJHcF/s1600/C360_2013-04-20-12-52-17e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_fkczml6DsTNhwWNhsPlKAqVJbqaczFpmxL5wb3eSzg2fcAzkyxNBLm8uKgJEoa8TX9zrd1qLHwUOHn_tSvVgUdKPTN1UmgF7xw5kOrKdA8VbKCXd97ZvHy05dkFi3ILPTPXIxDcJHcF/s640/C360_2013-04-20-12-52-17e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
She used crochet hook from <a href="http://www.sharpcrochethook.com/" target="_blank">Sharp Crochet Hook</a> for the first row and did 5 rows of beautiful shells.<br />
Now, my skirt hangs nicely and it doesn't fly in the wind anymore, which is always good, isn't it?<br />
I like how the weight of the yarns weigh down the soft skirt nicely.<br />

She's crocheting edging on another skirt now (lucky me! :D) and I'll share with you when it's all done ;)<br />
<br />
Enjoy your weekends!<br />

Hey everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made these 2 pairs of briolette earrings. One in ombre blue and the other in ombre green.</div>

The green one reminds me of beautiful autumn leaves.<br />
I'll just post the product photos here, so you can see the colors better!<br />
It was so hard to get the earrings in focus when I was taking them on me.<br />

I really love the colors and I'm so happy I got my hands on those beautiful briolettes!<br />
It'll still be autumn when I go back to Australia next month and this just reminds me of all the beautiful autumn colors that I'll get to see!<br />

My finals starts this Friday and I have basically been preparing for it. I'm just glad most of my exams are open book, but I know I still can't get too complacent *sighs*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week, I spent 3 days working on 19 pages long lab report...and I fell sick after that...I really don't like that kind of pressure. I did make these earrings when I take a break from studies thou. So I guess I still had a bit of fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mitch was a great help too, always keeping my company while I worked on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am soo thrilled that my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KhinsBoutique" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> is close to having 300 likers! (:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But then, I realized only 10% of them see my posts (<i>stupid function on Facebook...</i>) unless I pay to promote my posts..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not sure if it's worth it..what do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's Monday tomorrow, although it doesn't mean much to me since my classes are basically over.<br />I still hope you'll have a great start to your week!</div>

Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
It's Friday tomorrow, so hang in there!<br />
My Fridays are normally pretty lazy ones, but since I have 3 papers due next week, I guess I can't get a lazy one this time...<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just want to share with you the resin rose bobby pins that I made.<br />
I love resin embellishments..They're just beautiful....<br />
I think they're moulded to perfection..<br />
And I saw those lovely antique bronze bobby pins too and I really like the look of them together.<br />
<br />
It was a really quick crafting, and I like it. It feels like a nice break from crocheting, since crocheting things normally take hours.<br />
<br />
I bought myself a few resin roses in 3 colors - teal, red and cream white.<br />
<br />
As usual...I'm sharing more photos than necessary..hehe<br />Enjoy! (:<br />

I made these tiny little bow hairpins awhile back.<br />
I managed to make a few of them in pairs. Yellow is my favorite!<br />

I haven't listed them on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KhinsBoutique?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>, since taking photos of them take so long, not to mention the time taken to edit them..<br />
<br />
In fact, I'm thinking of backing off from online selling for a bit.<br />
And even <b><i>being featured on the front page of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/?ref=si_home" target="_blank">Etsy</a></i></b> won't stop me.<br />
Yep, this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/81305461/sorbet-pink-crochet-pendant-with?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">crochet necklace</a> of mine was featured on the front page 2 days ago!<br />

It was exciting and everything since I got about <b><i>700 views</i></b> during that 2-hour feature. But I still am not sure if I would be listing more items. May be I will, but very slowly, since they take up way too much time and I have more fun crocheting/making them...<br />
<br />
I just had that inspiration because I just recently found out about local craft fairs such as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/goMAAD" target="_blank">MAAD</a> and <a href="http://www.public-garden.com/" target="_blank">Public Garden</a>. And when I head back to Australia in a month time, they have plenty of craft fairs too in Adelaide. So I'm just in the mood lately to just make plenty of pretty things and just wait for the next craft fair. What do you think about it?<br />
<br />
I'll hopefully be back with more. (:<br />I have test on Thursday and a few projects due really sooooon, so don't be shocked if I disappear for like awhile.

Hey everyone! (:<br />
Just popping in to share crochet bow brooches that I made today.<br />
<br />
They're so addictive! (:<br />
The pattern is so easy too.<br />
<br />
I started with 22 chains, and then half double crochet into 3rd chain from the hook.<br />
And I just used half double crochet throughout and did total of 8 rows of half double crochet.<br />
After that I weaved in ends and simply wrapped yarns in the centre and you just made a bow!<br />
<br />
More photos here!<br />
I know the photos aren't perfect, cos I took it with my phone at night under my room's lights *gasps*<br />
I hope you don't mind it so much.<br />
<br />

There you go! (:<br />
I know it's a longgg weekends in most countries, so I hope you will have a good one!<br />
I probably will spend mine working on school project (not fun..), crocheting and reading with M.<br />
<br />
Oh yes, I started using <a href="http://instagram.com/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a> and if you're on it too, you can follow me <a href="http://instagram.com/khinsboutique" target="_blank">@khinsboutique</a>.<br />
I think it is rather fun, but I really don't want to get addicted to it...Mitch wouldn't stop teasing me for using Instagram and I'm glad he's over it, at least for now :P<br />
<br />
That's all from me for tonight. I think I'm gonna go curl up with <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68428.Mistborn" target="_blank">Mistborn</a> - a really great book that I'm currently reading.<br />

<div>
How was your weekends?<br />
<div>
I can't believe tomorrow gonna be Monday and I've got classes from 10 till 6....yikes!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
But, I'm so glad I did some crocheting over the weekends and yes, I think I did do quite a lot of studying for my uni. I mean, I didn't stay up till 3 am studying like most do, but I don't want to spend my days like that. But I'm still pretty proud with what I've done so far.</div>
<div>
<br />
Anyway, I don't think you want to hear me talk about boring things like school *winks*, so here is the fun part! :D<br />
<br />
Crocheted Roses!</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I love the colors! (: I used embroidery threads for all of them. The threads are made of mercerized cotton, which make them a little bit shiny, like silk. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I told you they are tiny! (: Well, the roses are about 3.5 cm in diameter and I think it is a perfect size to wear it on blouses.<br />
<br />
I used 0.95 mm crochet hook to make them. If you don't know how tiny the hook is, here is the pic for you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0fp6Oi-XFj7ObXIKKIDgP6QvhdeCT7odVhpsd6fQRpmNLVrLD2_LI_7YWQ7bnqBSS18djCGv3WOAcimXHCMHwiwvaSh86f1rWXo-plArN1TLFXnu9HczUpaRgW2nqWlAv6kLPunxM0DK/s1600/P1010320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0fp6Oi-XFj7ObXIKKIDgP6QvhdeCT7odVhpsd6fQRpmNLVrLD2_LI_7YWQ7bnqBSS18djCGv3WOAcimXHCMHwiwvaSh86f1rWXo-plArN1TLFXnu9HczUpaRgW2nqWlAv6kLPunxM0DK/s640/P1010320.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The tip is pretty small, and of course, sharp, but it makes pretty roses, so I put up with it. :D</div>
<div>
I enjoy making the roses a lot! But making the tiny leaves and sewing on the brooch pins on the back is, well...not so fun..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDweRZhKCM34OqcZAvp1DZYxMWtIQ63fTm7rXTHt_u2SV9vssvfmAJawmeUWlSrPwLNcmvBoPEC1ys5vvR0d1ZAAzcufnRudLeUSpNYdvELCfWT5xNROsaqh40JsEgEruuSynAj9updHr/s1600/P1010323.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDweRZhKCM34OqcZAvp1DZYxMWtIQ63fTm7rXTHt_u2SV9vssvfmAJawmeUWlSrPwLNcmvBoPEC1ys5vvR0d1ZAAzcufnRudLeUSpNYdvELCfWT5xNROsaqh40JsEgEruuSynAj9updHr/s640/P1010323.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the leaves, they are 1.5 to 2 cm in length and I have to weave in 2 loose ends. And weaving in ends is really painstaking, especially for small crochet things..If you have little threads coming out, it looks so untidy and you have to hide them neatly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl04TncoD-BuIz5apM7Asn1rS_HW33NH63fOw1KGVMvT7FYREiopcNk1k_6OKZRDMreChVGOpesWbr1HoWYBw5tKAaES_-tvU_vQPqTSItZ0H6bAyUV4IGLAuJCyo1h0xYSWRTke5-lcRx/s1600/P1010324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl04TncoD-BuIz5apM7Asn1rS_HW33NH63fOw1KGVMvT7FYREiopcNk1k_6OKZRDMreChVGOpesWbr1HoWYBw5tKAaES_-tvU_vQPqTSItZ0H6bAyUV4IGLAuJCyo1h0xYSWRTke5-lcRx/s640/P1010324.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And sewing the brooch pin on the back means poking a small needle through pretty tightly crocheted roses. So, the needle won't go through easily and then, well..I've broken a few needles already..hehehe..In fact, I've gone through half a pack of 16 needles. But I might have lost some along the way, so you really should be looking where you sit if you were ever in my room..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was still tons of fun making them thou! And I know it's worth it after seeing them all come together on my brooch pin cards..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ta Daaa~!</div>

Last night, I was up until about 2 am, busy printing my earring cards.<br />
<div>
I designed them, with the help of Mitch and suggestions from my friends. Thanks so much for all the help, guys. (:</div>
<div>
It was so much fun designing them. I had about 10 different floral cards but this one gotta be my favourite!</div>
<div>

<div>
I especially love the font that I used, <a href="http://www.dafont.com/scriptina.font" target="_blank">Scriptina</a>. The most gruesome part of designing was picking out one perfect front from so many beautiful ones. I'm so glad I've made up my mind about it and done deciding on the design.</div>

<div>
I made those little bags out of tracing papers. I love how they are partly transparent (duh...) and they don't get crumpled easily.<br />
<br />
<div>
So, how do you package your items?<br />
Do you source them from others or do you design and make them all yourself?</div>
<div>
You can leave your links to your packaging blog posts in the comment section cos I'd love to check them out. (:</div>

Have a great weekends!</div>

<br />
In case you don't know me, I'm Khin's fiancé (the one on the left in Khin's about page). I read this blog along with all of you, and love seeing all the wonderful crochet and jewelleries Khin makes. Today I'm updating for her as a surprise, and showing you all the wonderful photos and new items she has made.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO45X6n4caZKdDvOolUlZRKbn3asHlrb3EbMEPzl6h4jjyssub1eMt8n1DK3mXrSsPMxoVjz4csg909j5dDGddHW3cMjjYX0vJSkQ_10jk9-YTojEEHafB_ikPftghjp40Jbdvn84uy1Wu/s1600/dfc5c6cf-de8d-49b2-894f-aeec0c1a15e2wallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO45X6n4caZKdDvOolUlZRKbn3asHlrb3EbMEPzl6h4jjyssub1eMt8n1DK3mXrSsPMxoVjz4csg909j5dDGddHW3cMjjYX0vJSkQ_10jk9-YTojEEHafB_ikPftghjp40Jbdvn84uy1Wu/s640/dfc5c6cf-de8d-49b2-894f-aeec0c1a15e2wallpaper.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Aren't they so nicely made? The mixed stone/crystal ones are my favourites, along with the blue Swarovski crystal one (sadly it doesn't match up well with the blue stone to make a mixed one). Khin's selling all of these at her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KhinsBoutique" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> except the orange ones which I'm sure will be there soon. Which is your favourite?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading this update, and a bigger thanks to everyone that keeps reading my brilliant fiancée's blog!<br />

I just want to share this beautiful shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RootedInSucculents" target="_blank">Rooted in Succulents</a> by Jessica.<br />
I love succulents; they are just beautiful and so unique.<br />
(<i>But to be honest, I never knew those little plants are called succulents until, well, this morning.</i>)<br />
Jessica took a step further and make those adorable plants into eye-catching art pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V09dyVdGjwbPBe84JbglUp3Zd8VyYypjadyUQu-RaE9lnOrDYDmDTt7DlsOlyiAAZ72OJtQPvW_EaF89j2HPBjtM4Ypd-BSUk2NWfvVscTZQ2hw8xvBxUZ4oDSxvxfXbuuz8eMVjB8EQ/s1600/il_570xN.334522489.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V09dyVdGjwbPBe84JbglUp3Zd8VyYypjadyUQu-RaE9lnOrDYDmDTt7DlsOlyiAAZ72OJtQPvW_EaF89j2HPBjtM4Ypd-BSUk2NWfvVscTZQ2hw8xvBxUZ4oDSxvxfXbuuz8eMVjB8EQ/s1600/il_570xN.334522489.jpg" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Wouldn't you just love to have it as a centrepiece for, say, your rustic wedding reception? How cool is that?!<br />
And something even cooler than that...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway, back to talking about the love for succulents..<br />
I was just checking out some unique wedding bouquets (with me being engaged and all, just make me think of the big day more) and succulent bouquets always catch my attention.<br />
They're untraditional and I like it that way. A little bit of uniqueness wouldn't hurt, would it?<br />

Isn't it just beautiful?! And I bet they will last longer than those floral bouquets too.</div>

Would you have succulent bouquet as your wedding bouquet?</div>

Hello everyone! (:<br />
I was on the way back from class last Friday and, I went to my local craft supply store to get some beautiful new things. I have a long week break from school, so I thought I could make some new things for my Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
I saw these colorful heart rocks and I just have to get some!<br />
They are all such brilliant colors.<br />

I wire-wrapped them using 26 gauge sterling silver wires and turn them into earrings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a few more other colors, so I might be able to make a set of rainbow colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

That is like over a year ago.<br />
<br />
When I got <a href="http://khins-musings.blogspot.sg/2012/10/the-last-week-of-october-was-magical.html" target="_blank">engaged last year</a>, I was looking for photographers to do our engagement photos in Australia and some of the photographers say they will not edit the photos for us.<br />
So I panicked.<br />
<br />
I messaged Victoria and asked her a few suggestions on editing photos and she introduced me to a whole new world of photo editing - using Photoshop Actions! Isn't she the nicest?<br />
<br />
She gave me this link to <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/2008/04/actions/" target="_blank">Free Photoshop Actions by Pioneer Woman Photograph</a>.<br />
I was playing around with it and I just have to share with you the results.<br />
They're so awesome and there are, of course, better actions that you can purchase.<br />
<br />
Today, I used the Fresh and Colorful Action by Pioneer Woman Photograph.<br />
It is my favorite action in that package.<br />
Here you go.<br />

Lots to catch up, but I guess I'll do it over a few posts.<br />
<br />
I bound my very first book! And I'm totally excited about it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizDpukL_jGi1PXIpJUdXWVWYLYzVHz-doBGYSRsZ-TN-Nh958kmAEQcMv67UUFZUzTg1rhy6ZV5xG1QF7cB-9fJKX2cNpKB0lX8s0Ej3X2XH6LhS-DvInry1BKVHG4dBfmmaw6d5intwYS/s1600/P1010138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizDpukL_jGi1PXIpJUdXWVWYLYzVHz-doBGYSRsZ-TN-Nh958kmAEQcMv67UUFZUzTg1rhy6ZV5xG1QF7cB-9fJKX2cNpKB0lX8s0Ej3X2XH6LhS-DvInry1BKVHG4dBfmmaw6d5intwYS/s640/P1010138.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
It isn't anything fancy. I was just watching lectures on my computer and I realized I didn't have any decent notebook. And buying one would be too mainstream. I'm just kidding! :P<br />
<br />
But yeah, I always have plenty of A4 papers and obviously lots of yarns and also craft papers.<br />
And I remembered coming across <a href="http://bookbinding.deviantart.com/art/Bookbinding-Tutorial-292237490" target="_blank">this awesome book-binding tutorial</a>.<br />
It is soo easy. Sure, folding the papers in half is a bit painstaking when you're binding 60-pages book but I guess you can always do it while watching TV or something.<br />
I didn't end up using chipboard or fabric like the tutorial did. I just used thick patterned papers.<br />
You can sort of see the edges are a bit worn-out, since I've been using it for a few weeks now.<br />
I guess I could use even thicker covers if I want it to be super-durable. But this one suits me just fine.<br />

I've been meaning to share it with you. For months, actually.<br />
Mitch got it for me as a surprise and he got it engraved with a sentiment "Forever Our Story" and our anniversary.<br />
I think it is such thoughtful gift since I write diary a lot and the sentiment is just perfect.<br />
Engraved pen would be a great gift for anyone who writes poetry or journals, and the best part is you can make it very personal. (:<br />
And I was kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner.<br />
<br />
Hope you are having a great Monday. Mine was great, since school was short, which is always pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
Till next time! (:<br />

What was I thinking when I called this project "<a href="http://khins-musings.blogspot.sg/search/label/Doily%20a%20Day" target="_blank">Doily a Day</a>"?<br />
Seriously! I can't possibly make one doily everyday, but hey, I guess I can come somewhat close to it...<br />
The title kind of motivates me to think about crocheting/looking for doily patterns everyday anyway, which is pretty good.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is my #3 doily. (:<br />

It has to be my favourite so far! Took me 2 days just to finish it. And one whole day to look for pattern that satisfies me.<br />

I hope the photos are alright. I had to take them at night since I had school till pretty late.<br />
Hate taking photos at night! Such a pain...<br />
<br />
I think it would probably need blocking or starching if I want to use it as a coaster, but I probably gonna hoard it along with my other doilies for now. So, this is good enough. (:<br />
Hope you like it!<br />
<br />
See ya tomorrow. (:<br />

This is my first day of "Doily a Day" series.<br />
What I'm gonna do is, I'm going to make one doily everyday and share it with you here.<br />
I'm making them all in white, just so I can join them into something bigger. Not really sure what yet.<br />
I think it is more fun not to have an end product in mind and just have fun making pretty doilies.<br />
<br />
Here is today's one.<br />

I've been busy since my uni has restarted and at the same time, I'm revamping my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KhinsBoutique?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a>.<br />
If you have time, can you go check it out and well, critique it in the comment section. (:<br />
You can be bloody honest - I'd appreciate that. (:<br />

Anyway, here are some of my latest works.<br />
They don't have anything crochet on them. But, I love the charms and sparkly Swarovski crystals.<br />

When the year is ending, I get excited because I can finally get my hands on pretty diaries, calendars, etc.<br />
<br />
I haven't gotten myself a new planner, since I don't need one till my uni restarts.<br />
I personally prefer buying a planner than printing one, since well, it's a hell lot of pages!<br />
If you're looking for some unique 2013 planner, Etsy has a feature on it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/browse/new-years/planners-journals?ref=browse_promo_subcat_1&h=80c0c114&lid=117156000" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
But I do love printing calendars and there are so many pretty ones (and FREE!) out there.<br />
I did some hunting around and here are my favorite ones.<br />

I hope you're having a great start to your new year.<br />
I've got these beautiful flowers from Mitch on new year day and they're still pretty fresh.<br />
Aren't they just so lovely?<br />

I must confess I do loveee taking photos, and that's why my posts have way too many photos than necessary. Hope you don't mind.</div>
<br />
I just sort of finished my first project of 2013. At least the crochet part of it.<br />
It is a pencil case/make-up pouch. When finished, it'll measure 21cm x 10cm.<br />
The pouch base is just simple single crochet. Took me a decent while to finish it since the yarn was pretty small and I used 3mm hook.<br />

As you can probably tell, I haven't sewed the sides together or weave in the yarn ends.<br />
That's because I'll be lining it and sewing a zipper. I haven't got the zipper or matching lining and probably awhile till I go shopping for them. Oh well, it can wait. :D<br />

Close-up on the edgings.<br />
I'll share with you the final outcome after I finish the fabric lining and final work.<br />
<br />
Anyway, yesterday, I went to watch <b>The Hobbit </b>with Mitch and his friend.<br />
And well, during one scene at Bilbo's house, he said, "<b>No, that's not a dishcloth! It's a doily. Yes yes, it's crocheted.</b>'' It cracked me up! You have to see it for yourself.<br />
<br />
That's all for now. Till next time. Happy crocheting! (:<br />

Hey everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Happy new year! (:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've got baby yarns from some nice lady awhile back in pink and white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So I thought I'll use them to make some whimsy hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I found this <a href="http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/free-lacy-heart-coaster.html" target="_blank">Crochet Lacy Heart Pattern</a> from <a href="http://www.crochetmemories.com/" target="_blank">Crochet Memories</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It is really quick to crochet, so I made 5 of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thought of turning it into a heart garland, but haven't really made up my mind on it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found some cushion stuffing at Mitch's house, so I made a cute heart cushion using it.<br />
I used the same heart pattern, of course. I just simply sewn the edges of 2 pink hearts together, added some stuffing and lastly crocheted the lace edgings in white.<br />

The other day, I was just thinking of projects for Valentine's Day.<br />
I know I know...It's still like a little over a month away and it's probably still early to think about it. But after Christmas, that's the next big day that I get excited over.<br />
And I thought I could make a cute little clutch bag that I could use on a date.<br />
<br />
So, I went through my <a href="http://pinterest.com/khin227/crochet/" target="_blank">Crochet Pin Board</a> as usual to find a nice clutch pattern.<br />
And I found this oh-so-lovely <a href="http://gosyo.co.jp/english/pattern/eHTML/ePDF/1012/4w/210-52_Floral_Pouch.pdf" target="_blank">Floral Pouch Pattern</a> by <a href="http://gosyo.shop.multilingualcart.com/" target="_blank">Pierrot Yarns</a>.<br />
I must warn you that the pattern is only in diagrams. There are some helpful written notes, but yep, you have to know how to read the diagrams pretty well...It was kind of painful trying to decipher it, especially the Motif pattern, but I think it was all worth it in the end.<br />
<i>If you need help reading the pattern diagrams, just leave a comment and I'll try and help you.(:</i><br />

<br />
Of course, I used red and white since I was thinking of V'day.<br />
I had to use double strand of white yarn, since the yarn wasn't thick enough.<br />

<br />
Both the doily and bag are done. I love this doily pattern so much. I think it would be perfect for coasters too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9PRM5PHzaWaa5QOw4QtSBhXfvLzn7Ik5Gk6nP8SH0u-Jw6vXk2IJnAIzDANlX0hEwASewaAnO_vzuw7Cg3KtCpwmXAUDdIQXJPOr_WBNWkmfwnEJjETPgHZ43QDJCLjusHHpLb66teW73/s1600/C360_2012-12-29-13-40-31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9PRM5PHzaWaa5QOw4QtSBhXfvLzn7Ik5Gk6nP8SH0u-Jw6vXk2IJnAIzDANlX0hEwASewaAnO_vzuw7Cg3KtCpwmXAUDdIQXJPOr_WBNWkmfwnEJjETPgHZ43QDJCLjusHHpLb66teW73/s400/C360_2012-12-29-13-40-31.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I sewn the doily to the back of my bag. I wasn't sure if it would turn out neat. I did my best to align it properly and pinned it in place with sewing pins before sewing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think it turned out pretty neat, don't you think? :D That's the back of my clutch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How was your Christmas? Mine was great (:.<br />
My family don't celebrate Christmas, but Mitch's family obviously does and I had a great time.<br />
We have so much left-over food and I'm still having them today...<br />
<br />
I was planning to share this cowl with you for awhile.<br />
I used the pattern from <a href="http://www.mypicot.com/club/" target="_blank">MyPicot Club</a>. You can find the pattern <a href="http://www.mypicot.com/patterns/2001.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
It is such a beautiful lace pattern! I LOVE IT.<br />
The pattern is not for crocheting in rounds, but I changed it up a bit and managed to crochet this cowl in rounds instead.<br />

I don't know if I'd look weird to wear it to my college classes back in hot and humid Singapore, but I'm loving the look over my blouses. I might just be bold and wear it. :D </div>

And that's me and my photographer. It's always great to have him taking photos for me although he insisted that I wear my glasses...<br />
<br />
This is my first crochet cowl and I'm loving it! Hope you like it too. (:<br />
I'm on my second one right now and it is in royal blue. And I'm using daisy crochet stitch.<br />
I'll share it with you soon enough! ((:<br />
<br />
The yarn I used for this project is 100% acrylic and Mitch got it for me cos they were on offer and it was only $2 for 100 grams! It's pretty cheap yarn, but it isn't itchy or anything. It is really warm and sooo soft.<br />
I did a bit of googling and you can purchase the yarn I used on this website, <a href="http://www.alacraft.com.au/yarns-and-knitting-cat5" target="_blank">Alacraft</a>.<br />
