noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:17:00 +0000

Here's a new design I did over the weekend, my first baby boy sneaker. The colour were inspired by a really nice men sneaker.

I may need to do some adjustment on it later but I think it looks ok =)

BTW Happy Chinese New Year to all!

New design baby pump for my good friend

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:36:00 +0000

My good friend Amal recently has given birth to a cute baby girl Alia. I was invited to her 'kenduri Aqiqah' which is a bless occasion to celebrate the new born. I decided to crochet something, so I made a pair of baby booties aka pump for Alia. A new design after the first baby pump I did for a contest here =)

The same colour as the previous one, but this time I tried to do something different which I inspired from the normal adult flat shoes. I bet you've seen this design pump before with buckles or button.

Baby Earflap Beanies!

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:09:00 +0000

This is last year order by Atie for her baby boy. Check them out =)

Multi colour stripe grey, blue & white. This time I did something different with the string as Atie didn't want the braided string I normally do with my previous beanie (she said it looks a bit girly =D) so instead, I crochet the strings on both flaps.

Here another one with a simple earflap design without the still but with a pompom on the top as requested.

It looks simple but adorable. Don't you think so? =D

Thank Atie for ordering!

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:14:00 +0000

My first order for iphone4 socks & a baby beanie from Atiqah last year. She ordered 2 iPhone4 socks, red & dark blue. Here's the socks I've made:

I've used a stitch like fish scales for the red sock & the basket weave stitch for the dark blue. I also sew my plastic tag on both of the socks.

Here's the baby beanie I've made for her:

She choose the pink mix coloured yarn for the beanie. I crocheted an OoHana for the beanie where she can detached it my untie the ribbon & the back.

Thanks Atiqah for the order! =)

Paper Quilling Adventure with Miyyah

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 06:40:00 +0000

Last 2 months ago, I did some paper quilling adventure with Miyyah from Miyyah@Kertas along with Mikko (Craftzmaniac), Saza (shareyourlovewithcards) & Shah. Here's the outcome =)

The 1st card I did it was at the mamak stall in Bangsar at night - with Miyyah & Mikko.

The 2nd time (a bit crazy with my freestyle doodle) was at the The Gardens food court - with Miyyah, Mikko, Saza & Shah.

It was really fun! Thanks Miyyah! =D

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:00:00 +0000

I'm quite into analog camera which uses film like lomo cameras besides my CDC =). I was planning to make my own Instax 50s a sock but I just didn't really get it started until one of my colleague ordered a sock for her Instax 7s which gave me a push to do it! She wanted a red one:

My own Red Instax Mini 50s sock!

Here's the Red Instax Mini 7s sock for my colleague

Both are the same design but the Mini 7s is slightly bigger than the Mini 50s. =)

Practicing My Lace/Thread Crochet

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 17:00:00 +0000

Last few weeks ago, I went to the Art & Crafts Guild (ACG) Potluck Steamboat party in conjunction to ACG's 18th birthday at Jane's (our ACG president's) place. We had so much fun talking, munching, sharing ideas & prezzie swap. Each of us need to bring an item handmade by ourselves for the swap & I brought my crochet beaded double wrap bracelet for the swap.

Double wrap crochet beaded bracelet, black with blue shinny beads.

The ACG 18th Birthday cake!

I was lucky enough to get some yummy thread from Kak Zarina, who is the only one that I know who dyes her own thread! Her hand dyed thread (HDT) have really nice colours! The name of this thread is Orchid Garden. Check out her blog for more of her work checkout ConcerningZarina. I tried to crochet some flower with the thread and here's the outcome.

It took me quite a while to finish this small flower! The size is around 3cm in diameter. I just love the colour! =D

Sew Along Bag Organizer

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 08:01:00 +0000

It was my first time joining a sew along bag organizer which was organized by a crafty group that I joined a few months back. Most of the members do sewing & they have really nice sewing machine compare to me which I have non. Although I'm planning to buy one in the future but it won't be too soon =) Anyway, here's what I did for the sew along, a hand sewn bag organizer:

I made a size that can fit my work bag that I use everyday. I've used a cereal box for the inner part & cover it with some denim fabric. I also sew both side with some pockets for small & loose items.

Now I'm still using it for my work bag =)

Free Craft Workshop At The National Textile Museum

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:24:00 +0000

Hey guys! It's been quite a while I have not update any post in my blog as I was quite busy with my work, orders & some preparation for workshops.

Experiment: My New Design - The Orchid

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 23:13:00 +0000

It struck me to crochet Orchids after I've stumbled some orchid crochet patterns on the net. I've search some photos of the real orchids & managed to design this with my crochet:

It took me around half an hour to finished one of these orchids! I love them & now I can't stop making them!

I think it would be great on a hair bun or even as a brooch.

What do you think guys?

Experiment: Wrap Bracelet with stone beads

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 07:03:00 +0000

Another experiment for wrap bracelet for my personal use. This time I used some gem stone beads for them. The first time I'm using gem stone beads which was quite expensive material that I've ever bought for only beads! The weaving of the beads to me a lot of time & I need to bead one by one those 4mm beads while weaving on the cord. For 4 wrap bracelet took me nearly 2 days to complete! Really tedious to make except you have the patient. Yeah, I was crazy with these wrap bracelet that's why I do it! LOL. Anyway here's the outcome:

Blue Agate gemstone beads combined with some purple glass beads & metal beads, wrap on blue cotton cord & a flower design button for the fastener.

Black Agate gemstone beads combined with some brown glass beads, silver & gunmetal metal beads, wrap on black cotton cord & a vintage flower design button as the fastener.

This one is wrap with white Howlite gemstone beads on a black cotton cord & plastic resin button for the fastener. Just love the natural black cracks on the beads.

This is how they look like when I wear them!

Just love them that I wear each of them alternately to work! =P
What do you think? =)

This is a custom order pouch by Kak Ina for her mobile phones (which I think she have 2) and all the other miscellaneous stuff that she want to be in one place. Here's the finished pouch:

All the zippers & inner felt lining are hand sewn (No sewing machine). It take me some time to figure out how to make the triple zipper compartments. This maroon pouch has safely passed to Kak Ina.

She loves it. Thanks Kak Ina!

I got another 2 pouch order from her, one for herself (cosmetic pouch) & another one for her daughter Need to work out with the design soon! =)

An experiment making some simple adjustable cord bracelet for personal collection:

Adjustable cotton cord bracelet with some rusty gold beads & donut Jade given by Mikko. I was thinking of wearing the Jade, so this is the best way to wear it as I like bracelet compare to necklace =)

A simple design cord bracelet with a gold unique button for fastening. Some of my friend even called it prosperity as the colour red & gold =)

I'm crazy about bracelet now! XD

Experiment: My First Wrap Bracelet

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 05:06:00 +0000

I love bracelets. I love Chan Lulu's gorgeous wrap bracelet which also inspired me to make my own wrap bracelet! This is my first attempt to make a wrap bracelet of my own using imitation leather cord & metal chain. Check it out:

Tadaaa~ I used one of my favorite metal button for the fastener. I just managed to make a 2 wrap bracelet with my available imitation leather cord.

This is how the wrap bracelet look like when I wear it. It's becoming one of my fav accessories.

I will try to make more with different materials & more wraps when I managed to get the supplies.

What do you think about my new wrap bracelet? =)

Crocheted grey sew with metallic metal chain.

Crocheted pink sew with silver rice beads.

What do you think of my new design blairs? =)

Experiment: Cool Chick Crocheted Headband!

noreply@blogger.com (MisFyd) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 01:09:00 +0000

An attempt to try something new! Recently I'm sorta obsess with headband after looking at our proud Malaysian (from Sarawak) Sereni & Shentel's gorgeous handmade headbands quite sometime ago!
Well this motivates me to make some of my own designs using yarns. Here's my few attempts of making my own crochet blairs:

Crocheted with blue yarn & sew on some stardust flat back.

Crocheted with light grey yarn & sew on with metallic chain.

Crocheted with gunmetal round beads in dark grey.

I just love making them & I'll be making more soon.

What do you think of my additional accessories in my wardrobe? =)
