Just browsing...

I couldnt sleep, its 2:30 am...hence, this post.
Caffeine has a strong effect on me. I drank coffee (just half a cup!) about 3 pm, which is why I'm still awake now. Not wide awake, but I just couldnt sleep, and nothing's bothering me or anything...
Anyways, I thought about this post yesterday and so here it is.
I googled my name and I found some nice sites I want to share with you just for fun :

Crochet Set

I couldnt decide on what wearable to do next, so I just made this basic tank top. I had to do it in multicolor thread, otherwise I would not have finished it, since I wasnt even sure how it would turn out. A plain color would not be inspiring since the stitch is monotonous. I happened to use the same color as the breezy bolero. So here's my crochet set:

Crochet Patterns are now available!

Yay!
At last I can say my crochet designs are now out! Actually, it was already for sale in craft stores here since last week.
Now I am done with the details on my webpages and have put links on my sidebar here.
And so without further ado, here's my new website: Mimi's Crochet Stuff

And here are my pattern designs for Coats Manila Bay:

Surprises in the mail!

I got two wonderful packages from the Post Office yesterday!

Vik in Argentina sent me this for Christmas, I'm so happy I finally got it! (Probably got caught up with the tons of packages that got in the post office during the holidays...)


A sweet letter, a loving poem, a crocheted flower and bracelet (with cute illustration), and a skein of very lovely, precious silk yarn!

The other surprise is from my sister in London. She mailed me this two weeks ago:


Two skeins of lovely yarns, a cute card, and a hairbrush.
I cant do without a Denman brush, so I requested one from her. (My son said there are plenty of Denman brushes here in Rustan's store, but I told him I want it to be specially bought for me in the U.K.!)

I am so spoiled with these gifts. Thank you again Vik
and Sis

Convergence moment

I made it on t.v.! The episode where I was shown was first aired last Sunday (Jan.14).
If you didnt see it, dont be sad...hehe...you can still watch it on Saturday. And if you are dying to see it, but dont have the channel in your area, maybe later on I will be able to share the video online ;) Thanks to my brother who recorded it :D
Thanks also to the staff of Convergence and to the host, for featuring me and making it look "interesting". I was afraid it was going to be a boring feature for non-crocheters - but my family was delighted, and I'm so glad!
Here are photos I took from the screen as I was watching the clip (over and over).
Dont be fooled, I actually wasnt able to say much :p I keep thinking I should have said this and that... Oh well, but now I can say that I was lucky enough to be featured on t.v.!

A couple of "firsts" ;)

Another sack bag, but its just another color of the same design that I did last August. I started and finished this a few days before the year began, and this is my first project shown for this year.







This is me with Yamie Berte, host/producer. I have just been interviewed for a five-minute segment for a local program on net-25! They will feature my crochet hobby and how I was able to develop and enhance it with the use of the internet :p
This is the first time I will be shown on t.v.!
Here is Yamie modeling some of my creations.
