{Baby Boy} Prabu n his Jacket

2012-11-26T14:36:00.000+07:00

Hi !!

Gosh I really missed you guys!!

Been a while since last time I posted something here.

What can I say??

Work comes first, right?!

So..
Today I just wanna post about this simple granny jacket.
Remember Prabu??
Handsome baby boy which I posted earlier here.

This handsome baby turn into BIG Baby within a few months.

with his Chubby cheeks and funny look in his eyes.
Gosh. I feel like wanna bite him :D

Ok...
I finally finished my granny jacket for him.
Its in green, just like his mom wants.

See how cute he is?

Over all...
I'm so glad that the jacket fits.
I kinda scared that it might too small for him ;)

Happy (Belated) Yarn Day

2012-10-17T21:35:00.000+07:00

Last Friday...

Our Dinamic_CroKnit group celebrating Yarn Day.

and to celebrate it, Mba Thata came up with these ideas.

1. We exchange gift and the gift should be related to crocheting or knitting.

So it could be yarns, book, hook, stopper, etc.

Then... we should sent the gift on Oct 12 (last Friday)

2. We should put a photo of our self or family or relatives or even friends who wore our creation. The idea was to be a narcissistic for a day ;)

so here's my pic which I called

Semi Narcissistic

and my friends complaint for it.

They said that the only thing whose being narcissistic in that pic is my flower hairpin.

And yes.. it's a hair pin and not a brooch

What do u think??

And now.. about a gift..

Last Monday.. I finally received my gift.

It's 3 ball of Thalenta yarn sent by Mba Dini (Malang)

a ball of softy wool

a ball of bulky

and finally a ball of yarn which textured like towel.

Lucky me!!

Hmm.. I wonder what should I crocheted with those lovely yarns.

Any idea??

Brooch.. Everywhere

2012-10-02T16:26:00.001+07:00

There's dark cloud outside..

Hope it will be raining today.

Coz it's been months since our last rain.

So I hope

October could bring some good news.

Like Rain.

Anyway..

I made something this week.

Just some flower brooch for my friend Rahma.

Green Flower with Beads

I really don't know what to call it.

I just let my finger dance to make a flower.

then..

to make it different than usual,

I sew beads around it.

How is it??

I call it..

3Musketeers

Cause there are 3 flowers in 1 brooch.

Peony

I got the pattern from sewritzytitzy

Love the pattern a lot

but for this time I only worked untill 3rd row.

I will do it exactly like the pattern next time.

I Promise ^_^

Last but not least.

I call it Sun Shine

Still playing with beads and pearl (not real pear)

And somehow.. I really love it

I made it without pattern at all.

Yay!!

Tadaaa!!

This brooches are ready to delivered ;)

Busy Week

In the meantime....

Just wish you all a happy crafting ;)

{New Baby} Prabu Arjuna

2012-07-27T16:34:00.000+07:00

About a month a ago my dearest best friend Rika was having her 1st nephew.

He was a very very cute baby boy named Prabu Arjuna.

See that chubby cheek?? Feel like wanna bite it :D

I've visited him, but yet I haven't bring any gift.

Well.. not really my mistake,

coz his aunt kinda kidnapped me from my office and bring me to her house

where this cute and calm baby boy stayed.

He was sleeping on that evening.

And although his aunt and his gramps make some noise to wake him up..

He just slept like nothing happened.

and all of that noise didn't bother him at all.

He just gave us a pose.

Isn't he cute???

So.. about the present.

Since his aunt and mom know that I can crochet baby stuff,

They want me play with my yarns and make something for him.

Ok.

I still have no idea what to make.

But at that time.. I know that I have the perfect yarn for him.

Light Blue Softy Cotton from Thalenta.

The real color of these balls is more beautiful than what you see in this pic.

Trust me ;)

Almost feel like she (Prabu's mom) can read my mind..

she suddenly said 'please don't make anything in blue. I had enough.'

Feel like wanna cry.. coz I already prepare few balls of that blue yarn + navy blue

Now I have to search for another color.

Any suggestion??

Hi Aunties!!

2012-07-18T12:24:00.000+07:00

My Name is...

Ervin Aldiano Ghufta

but my gramps call me..

Galang

See my cute ear-flap??

My uncle bought it for me.

Few month a go, a friend asked me if I can crocheted an earflap with PORORO Figure for her son. I bet you know what Pororo is. Specially you who have kids ;)

Yes!! You got it!! Pororo is this little penguin!!

Pororo

So, I finally crocheted that hat last week. Since... another friend also asked me to crocheting this stuff for her.

2 person already... I can't delay it again, right?! or GOD may get angry and make my customers dissapear. Puff!! Just like that.

After several times trying .. finally... I present this PORORO Earflap to you.. my beloved readers.

Taraaaa!!

PORORO EARFLAP

Material: Thalenta ICTS for its body

Thalenta TS for its face and glasses

Thalenta ICT for its blue skin and lining of its hat

Since I don't have kid's head mannequin, so I just use what I got at home :D

What I hate when crocheting figures is those details like eyes, nose, etc.

Feels like wanna screamed >.<

Anyway... I'm glad I could finally finished it. Still got one more to crochet though ;)

Happy crafting y'all ;)

{Flowers} Here .. there... and every where

2012-06-05T19:24:00.000+07:00

Last month, my mommy was so.. so.. crazy about flowers. She crocheted flowers with various colors. She just let her finger dance. No clue, no pattern. Just follow her heart :)

But at the end, she got no clue what to do with those flowers. So.. I picked up my stashes box, along with my glue gun. And Voila!!

We got 3 hairpins and several brooches.

Some of them are SOLD OUT to my friends.

Hmm.. seems that it was a GOOD Collaboration ;)

Happy Crafting Friends ^^

{Crafting} 1st Project in June

2012-06-04T17:14:00.000+07:00

I finally finished one of my crochet project on this 1st week of June. Well, actually, I started from May, but finished it last Friday and its June already.

Don’t think of BIG project please! Coz you might get disappointing. It was only a simple Slouchy Hat. Totally simple! I’m only using sc and dc. But for me it’s a new thing. 1st .. I never crocheted any slouchy before. 2nd.. I never crocheting hat from the bottom. And I found it little bit hard. I feel like my stitches is always twisting around >.< and 3rd… this slouchy hat was an order from a friend. So I kinda nervous.

But thanks GOD I could finish it. Off course with so many help from my friend through ‘PING’ing her Blackberry. Thanks a lot Sis Aning!!

And now…. let me introduce you to my 1st Slouchy Hat. Taraaaa!!!

Not bad naa?!?!
Ahhh!! I feel so relieve!!
Alhamdulillah.. Thanks GOD.

I Need more Time

2012-05-21T17:16:00.000+07:00

Do you ever feel like you don't have enough time to do what you want??

Well I do.

It seemed that I never have enough time to do my favorite things.

For example.. If I decided to read, that means I don't have time for crafting -vice versa.

And If I start reading, that means I don't have enough time to sleep. Coz some book may keep you awake till its last page. You just can't put it away until you finished reading it. Am I right??

Sometimes I wonder.

Is it just me? Who feel this way. Like running out of time? Or is it just because I'm not good in managing that 24 hours??

Mayday..mayday..!!

2012-04-18T17:37:00.002+07:00

7 Day in Love part 2

2012-02-16T17:38:00.000+07:00

Ok.. continuing my previous post about DC Project called 7 Day in Love, here's my last 4. All most all of them was made from free pattern (got it from the net).

Day 4

Love Bobby Pins

I was inspired by LDH. She crocheted a simple but pretty bobby pins.

I really in love with her work. So I tried. But unfortunately I failed in crocheting Heart based on her pattern. So I tried my own.

Day 5

Rose Headband

Its still day 5 and I already stuck.

Feel clueless.. and really don't know what to crochet *sigh*

Checking my treasure box.. I remember that I just bought elastic lace. So I just cut it, joined them into circle with glue.. and just put a crochet rose on it.

Day 6

Hearts Around Doily

Found this pattern from kaleidesigns.com

and I like it a lot. So I try the pattern and it turn out that so easy to crochet.

I think I'll crocheted some more.

Day 7

My Key Chain

Finally!! Last day 7 Day in Love.

I made this simple key chain.

Hopefully, I could fill my circle of life with love, with bright colors like flower.

Finally done!! Feel sooo relieved ^__^

See you on the next project ;)

7 Day in LOVE

2012-02-10T17:14:00.001+07:00

In our mailing list, there's always full of project. Mother's day, End year, Lunar New Year, and now.. Valentine's project called 7 Day in Love.

It doesn't matter how small or how simple your creation was. It doesn't matter whether you design it yourself or using pattern from book or web. All we want is to keep our finger dancing. You can do good by practicing, right??!?

It's been 3 day since 7 Day in Love Project begins and I already made 3 stuff.

Day 1

Honor in Love Coaster

I'm so in love with this pattern since the 1st time I saw it at One Crochet at a Time

It was so so easy but yet so pretty. Besides, I think it will suitable with Valentine with its heart shape.

Material: Thalenta ICT Plain & ICT Blend

Day 2

Granny Headband

Day 2 and already stuck >.<

So I just made something simple.

For its applique, I used that Honor in Love Coaster and adding 2 piece of crocheted heart on the top of it then adding it again with small flower.

Day 3

Rose Buds

The most common on Valentine is Roses and a box of chocolate. Am I right?

So today I try to make roses. Specially after seeing this flower pattern from MyLittleCityGirl

You know what... I imagine this pretty flower on a beanie, headband, bag.

I thing I just gonna give it a try ;)

So.. that's all for now.

See you on my next post about this project.
