Crochet Backpack



Here's the backpack, made by Beth, a new friend of mine from Canada. She followed the pattern from BHG Crochet. Literally, she did follow it...lol! Not being able to find it on sale anymore, she wrote to me and asked if she could buy my copy. Since I didnt plan to make another one anymore, I sent the pattern to her.
I really like it, nice work, Beth!

Crochet Halter



Here it is, my finished crochet halter! I hope you look forward to see it when its printed. I'll tell you next month when there's already a date for its release ;)

A Pearl Necklace



Here's a pearl necklace that a friend gave me. She doesnt know how to go surfing on the web, so I gave her some printed patterns. I also taught her some tricks on crochet. She said she learned a lot from me, though before she met me, she's already been crocheting a lot, mostly simple crocheted pouches. She sells them like hotcakes, because she rents bazaar stalls to sell her goods. She sells mostly native handmade products from the provinces. Her mother weaves bags and rugs and she crochets whatever is saleable. I'm happy she sells a lot of what she makes, as she gets all her thread supplies from me. And she's happy too, for she doesnt have to go to Divisoria where she used to buy threads, and she even gets it at a lower price from me ;)

Crochet from the past

"Smile everyone, show me your teeth ;) "



All these toys I made for my oldest son when he was a toddler. He thinks they're all adorable and huggable. He picked the dinosaur and the wolf to be made, and I was the one who chose to make the tiger and cat. (My second son wasnt too fond of stuff toys.)



I made this one without a pattern. My son had a plastic Donald Duck gifted to him. One day I thought of making a hand puppet based on the plastic toy.
