My Handsewn Domo Plush



A first try on Domo plush. It's hand sewn and I gave it to my friend Jess as he requested. I'm not sure whether he'll give it to someone or he'll keep it for himself. Whatever he does with it, i feel the appreciation even if the domo plush I made wasn't exactly the perfect domo.

My Onigiri Twins



The first of my creations (Onigiri Category). There are lots of styles to make for me to choose from. And I want to make a few more for my friends. Others also suggest that I sell them but maybe not this time. I have other things in mind to do.

Anyway, I just want to post these here because they're so cute. Don't you think? :)

A Project: Beading





These are photos I took yesterday of the bracelet and necklace I made from one of the gifts I accepted last Christmas - a bead set with a book about beading. I think the book will be very useful to me once I go back to the Philippines. There, I can start making jewelry and accessories again. I also took a picture of the book and here it is below:



It's a really cool gift. Thanks Tita Edith and Tito Alex! I really love it! :)

First Knitted Project: Purse







My first attempt on a knitted project. It was supposed to be a scarf but I ended up making it into a purse for my phone. It looks loose but I think I'm getting the hang of it with the second project, which is a scarf, I'm making right now. I'm not sure when I'm going to finish it because I only do it when I feel like doing it.

I bought this book about knitting but I can't follow the directions from it properly so I watched a knitting lesson for beginners like me in YouTube with the link Knitting Tutorial for Beginners- 1. Slip Knot. The lessons begin with making the slip knot and then making your first stitch and then more of the lessons about knitting follow it. I didn't have a hard time getting the instructions more so than when I tried to read the directions in the book I bought. So, if you want to learn about, you can check that site.

Right now with my second knitting project, I chose the same color of brown above and a pretty pink color to use as combination. Wish me luck on it. Next time, I'm planning to make a sweater if I can pull it off. XD
