Fun Stuff


Lovely Gift

I saw this dishcloth called Garterlac on Vik's blog several weeks ago. It was a very interesting knitted piece and I would love to try it, but my knitting lessons would have to wait some more. I didnt know then that my friend Vik had made one for me, and sent it with hugs from Argentina, woohoo!


I now have it on my little kitchen :D It looks perfect, I love the colors. Thanks again, Vik!

  2. Thank you Vik, dont we all wish we're 10 years younger?...hehe...

    I'm still amazed what we could do online nowadays. All this technology plus our human efforts to reach out - made it possible for us to be part of each other's life even if we're thousands of miles apart...

  3. Hi Mimi, Thanks for stopping by dun sa "bahay" ko kahit walang bago. Yeah that's true, ang daming bagong dating ngayon sa Toronto. Dumadami na ang mga pinoy dito.Kung may choice lang ako mas gusto ko pa rin dyan sa atin, almost 7 yrs. na kami dito pero gusto ko talagang umuwi . Mas masarap pa rin dyan, feeling ko lang to ha, baka magbago once maka uwi ako dyan. Okey, have a good night and TC.

  4. Salamat din Beth sa pagbisita mo dito. Sa tingin ko talagang mas ok dito dahil takot ako sa sobrang lamig dyan e, yun lang siguro. Kasi sa tingin ko walang gaanong pagbabago dito kahit matagal nang nawala si Marcos. Ganun pa rin ang gobyerno, sobrang corrupt...

  6. Thanks so much Pearlin =) I'm lucky to have a scanner, I never thought years ago that I could share my old photos. As to the kitchen, I made sure that when I took a pic it looks neat and clean (but its really somewhat cluttered ;)
    Btw, I'm so happy that I got into the calendar. I do hope with it I would be able to reach a wider audience for my crochet designs and items for sale.

  8. Wow! You really are a mix of all of those faces! Yup, we all wish that we were ten years younger!

    How sweet of Vic to send you one of her dishcloths! Is it not a great pattern?

  9. Sue, thanks for the compliment - its better than a facelift :D

    Kimberly, when I look at that photo of me, I wish the aging stopped there :p
    Yes, Vik is so sweet to send me one of her special dishcloth. And it also reminds me of you, since you started the garterlac craze ;)

  15. Wow! That is so cool, Mimi. I think you look a lot like all of them, too. I tried to do one, but my picture must have not been good enough, they said there weren't any matches. :(
    Your knitted dishcloth from Vik is so cool! I might try one, if I can find some free time Ha Ha!
