Hello! I just wanted to let you all know that I re-branded my work recently and have started a new blog here. So come on over!

BUTTERFLIES & FLOWERS

noreply@blogger.com (Aisyah Helga) — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:15:00 +0000

Hello! I've been very busy with orders lately. Let's start with the latest which are butterflies and simple headbands.

These are some samples I crocheted with patterns I found on the internet.

I love the variegated colours of this one! The yarn is called 'Bebe Batik' by Alize Sekerim.

100 pieces of small roses.

I also tested out new flower patterns using different types of yarns.

Love these huge ones! I combined 2 patterns for these.

Again, testing with new yarns.

Lovely!

Flowers again ordered by a customer.

Must haves for a crocheter!

I still have some orders to make so I'll be super busy, busy, busy!

I'll leave you with this quote to ponder upon...

Hello ^-^! I have been neglecting my blog lately or should I say for the last 3 months! I can hear crickets in here. And don't let me start on the cobwebs! Anyway, I'll just show you photos of flowers ordered by customers and some yarns I bought(again!).

I'm out of here for now! Always be amazing!

noreply@blogger.com (Aisyah Helga) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 05:04:00 +0000

Hello! I'm been very lazy in updating my blog. So be prepared for lots of photos!

The above flowers ordered by a return customer. Loving the lacy ones :)

Another mini shells hat made using polyester yarns. I'm in love with this yarn! The hat is available if you're interested.

Another hat using the same yarn also available for sale.

Another hat. I used Bernat Mosaic yarns(see below).

And I guess you guessed that just have to have new yarns!

Alize DIVA Missisipi yarns. The small lilac one is Alize Miss.

Love!

Love the colors!

Yummy! These yarns are going to be crocheted into flowers.

Wool yarns from China. Nice!

These yarns were sent to me as gifts from a lovely friend, Jenny :) Love, love, love!

I swapped some yarns with a fellow crocheter on Facebook and these are what she sent me. Just lovely!

I ordered 2 knitting looms along with some of the yarns. I just wanted to try my hands on them and also for Hazel to keep her busy during the school holidays.

This is my loomed baby hat. Needs more practice.

And this is Hazel's. We used the same yarns, Alize Burcum.

Here is Hazel with her new toy - hama beads.

Here are the results from her hard work. I need more practice on the ironing. Some of them broke off as they were not melted enough :p

Isn't this pouch beautiful?? A lovely friend, Liza sent it to me along with some granny squares for our granny squares exchange group. I just love the details!

I'm off to crochet more stuff and in between, read! :) 'Til I 'see' you all again...

What I've Been Up To Post

noreply@blogger.com (Aisyah Helga) — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 02:29:00 +0000

Hello! I have been quite busy since my last post as you can see :) I tried making a hat with one of my polyester yarns from Indonesia and I loved it! It is quite stiff but moldable. I will try to make a bag with them soon.

This cap was made a while back, I just forgot to post them here :p

And this is a wedding gift for my very loyal customer Sus. I alternated Nona acrylic with Ice Dancing Baby yarns to get the rainbow effect as I was in a hurry. I hope she likes it!

This is my first ever crocheted adult cardigan for Hazel's teacher. It took me about 4-5 days since it was kind of an emergency. I used 3 and a half balls of Magic Light yarns and it is very cosy to wear in cold conditions. I want one for myself, too!

Small crocheted roses. I can't seem to get away from them, can I?

Well, I'm off to crochet more stuff! 'Til the next time...Take care and have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! Life's been good, weather not so good. It's been raining for most of last week and it seems like monsoon season is early this year. The above hats and roses were ordered by a customer. I really like the car appliques! So cute!

Ordered some milk cotton yarns from a friend. Really yummy colours and texture! So soft!

I tested making a small rose with one of the yarns. Nice!

More Alize yarns! The tiny one is called Miss Batik. It's a very fine thread yarn but I just had to try it!

Look at these flowers made with it. So many colours just from 1 ball of yarn! I took two pics on the right to compare the size of the flowers so you can see how small it is.

My WIP which I hope to finish by tomorrow. I still have lots of roses to make!

Have a great week! 'Til the next time...

Roses & Yarns

noreply@blogger.com (Aisyah Helga) — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:08:00 +0000

I was busy these past two weeks crocheting 100 pieces of roses. Pheww! What a relieve! They're finally done and sent to the owner!

This is the type of yarn that I usually use to make flowers with. 100% acrylic yarns with lots of colour choices.

And what can I say about Alize yarns...just beautiful! I can't resist buying them! More are coming soon!

I tried out some new flower patterns recently and these are one of them. Be prepared for loads of pics! The ones above and the following two pics I have named them 'Japanese Roses'.

I'm currently finishing up some more orders for roses and will try to make 1-2 more cushion covers before Hari Raya. 'Til then...see you when I see you!

A Cushion Cover & A Headband

noreply@blogger.com (Aisyah Helga) — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 05:14:00 +0000

I made another cushion cover after so long since my last one. I used a mixture of Designer Glitz(Ice Yarns) and our local Nona acrylic yarns.

I found the rose square pattern on Facebook. If you'd like to make one, too, just drop me a line - hazeleaf@yahoo.com

I tried making this headband yesterday. The pattern is from Raverly by The Lovely Crow.

I'm crocheting more flowers at the moment. I'll show them in my next post. 'Til then...

Pouches made with crocodile stitches. The one on the left was ordered by a return customer for her Samsung Note handphone. The one on the right is still available.

Hello everybody! I've been really busy these past 2 weeks. I crocheted quite many items, like this bag. I'm really proud of myself for making it :p At first, I was terrified of the crocodile stitches but after my 3rd attempt I understood how to make them and it got easier! For anyone who wish to make a bag like this, here's the pattern. Another pattern to try is this.

Another Alize Shell hat requested by a customer.

A slouchy beanie made with Novia yarns from Turkey.

Lacy shell hat in blue tones.

2 slouchy beanies and 2 mesh slouchy beanies made using Indonesian cotton threads.

Indonesian cotton threads and Magic Light yarns.

Yarns bought from a lovely friend.

I hope everyone will have a great week ahead as I'm sure I will!

Hi, hi, hi! I've not been feeling well lately and have been kind of lazy in updating my blog :p Anyway, here's a beret(as the pattern calls it) I made a few weeks ago. I really like this pattern. It's a free pattern from Crochet me.

Hello, hello! How are you all faring? Just fine, I hope :) Ok, this is a slouchy beanie with brim ordered by a customer. I used 2 strands of Nona yarns to make it sturdier. This is one of my favorite hat patterns to crochet :)

Another order from a customer, a pouch for her G Note and 3 rose brooches. I hope she'll like them!

A surprise package from Ana of Ana y el ganchillo blog. She's a sweet, sweet lady friend from Spain whom I met online. Look at what she sent me recently!! I just love everything especially those yarns! Once again, thank you, Ana!

Yarns and a Clover hook I ordered from a friend. The hook is really comfortable!

That's all for now. Hopefully, I'll be more diligent with my crochet projects and updating this blog in the very near future!

Hello!! I have been very bad in updating my blog lately. So many distractions! Anyway, I wish all my chinese readers a very Happy Chinese New Year! This is a cardigan I made this month. I just love this pattern! So easy!

And this is a blouse I made with bamboo yarns. I actually wanted to make it bigger but it turned out to be just the right size for Hazel, so it's hers now :p

A bag I made with cotton thread. This is an easy pattern I found on FB.

And I made some roses as well.

Ok! That's it for now. I'll try and post as soon as I can again. I'm working on a blouse right now. Hopefully it'll be finished by this week :)

Have a great week!
