Crocheted Mini Bag..

Next in my list of order was a simple mini tote bag. A customer of mine requested it to be made to fit in two regular size formula's bottles for her lil' princess. I started to imagine how the bag will look like. At first I just do plain DCs' in rows, but since my yarn is quite the soft ones, it doesn't give the sturdier look that I've imagine and they look kind of thin hehehe..so I pull the stitches apart which I had worked like almost 50% over and started to look around at google and youtube for more ideas, cuz being a self taught crocheter and trying to create something from scratch it ain't easy. I needed inspiration! There I found one .. A japanesse tutorial, with no subs to understand what she was talking about. I then just mute her and go on slowly thru her actions from the video tutorial in order to learn what she was doing. At last I managed too, luckily she was very precise and her video was exactly focusing on what she was doing. Alhamdulillah, now the product is finish and I must say I'm very pleased with it, especially with the weaving effect it has. I just can't wait to give it to her. Hope she'll be happy with it and I'm glad that I got to learn this new kind of stitch, its just beautiful <3 <3 <3

Oh and by the way, I just learned that this beautiful stitches are called "Basket Weave Stitch" Perfect for a lil' cute bag don't you think so?  ;)

Baby Owl Giftset..

Took the liberty of customizing a giftcard on behalf of my lovely customer who'll be gifting this cute babyset to her brother's newborn. Actually she doesn't even know it herself hehehe.. I love the idea of making someone's day even in a smaller way and adding a greeting card is something people will always cherish especially if the card was a customade according to the babyset theme; OWL

Hehehe "Owl-ways Love You, Baby!" I've seen this phrase somewhere before that I immediately thought it'll be a cute caption to the giftcard..Alhamdulillah it turned out cute as I hoped it will be ;). Now who doesn't adore babies and owls? :)

If you'd like to order your own personalized greeting/gift card just hop over to @ayaminlove insta for details even better just visit her website at www.ayaminlove.com , signup to order and start redeeming points for free cards! Thank you sweetie Munira @ayaminlove for accomodating to my request! She was indeed fast and friendly through out the whole process which made my first customize giftcard purchase a lot easier than I thought hehehe.. It was awesome getting to work together, looking forward for more collaboration work with her again soon Insha Allah :)

P/s : I've got something on my mind actually for a collaboration sale but still much to work thru the details. Insha Allah when the timing is right, I'll update with more information, but first I must make readymade shoes/babysets for that occasion aite! huhuhu..please keep me in your du'a, jazakallahu khayr :)

That's my new DIY thank you tag and box which I made myself hehehe..No full view of it as I forgotten to take one ;D

Lil' Baby Panda Set..

Finally I made it back here, lol..I hope you all are in well and happy insha Allah..so last two weeks I received a pm on FB from a mother-to-be (which is due in a couple of weeks) for a customize Panda crochet baby set. This was my first attempt crocheting something with a feature, usually it was just a plain or mix color kind of customisation. After going thru' google and youtube, I found a simple pattern online from tampabaycrochet. So I made her a set of matching earflap hat, a pair of booties and a diaper cover. All in co-ordinating colors of a panda; black and white! Alhamdulillah it turned out very very and I must say very CUTE!!! What makes it more special is that these cuties will be making its transit to Singapore, my first international order! Which makes me more excited and grateful at the same time cuz I've always dreamt about making an order for the people outside of my country, and now it's turning into reality. One small step for me, one giant leap to the border for my lil' crochet panda I'd must say hehehe..but above it all thank you Allah for the blessings and the people around me (here online and outside) who always supported and believed in me. So I'm sharing now some of the cuteness of the lil' baby panda set that I was talking about, hope you enjoy looking at them cuties 😍😍😍 

Remember, for orders and such just email or WhatsApp me! 

First international order, praying for more to come under God's willing :)

Discovering new passion..

Hi guyz, Yoan here..

Lama blog ni terbiar sendirian..susah jgk rupanya nak disiplin kan diri utk update kat sini. Sepanjang tempoh blog ni terbiar, sebenarnya banyak jgk yg dipelajari Yoan. Selain menjahit rupanya Yoan minat dgn mengait or better known as crochet. Yoan belajar dari youtube aje and bbrp bloggers kaki mengait terutama dari luar lah sbb kebanyakkan mrk suka share paten crochet mrk. Begitu x kedekut ilmu mrk ni. So dari mula belajar crochet bunga2 kecil hinggakn ke topi ala2 slouchy beanie tu, itupun belum siap lagi, terpaksa list dalam PhD (project half done) yoan hehehe..Belum berani nak buat projek besar2 lg sbb tu semua makan masa and kena byk sabar. Rasanya yoan x tergolong dlm kategori itu hehehe..walaupun kat sini yoan x rajin update tetapi kat insta still ok hahah. Andaikata korang nak ikuti perkembangan yoan boleh je follow @cuteprettylilthings kat IG ok. Harapan yoan semoga dapat perbaiki lagi diri dari mana2 segi yg kekurangan. Semoga korang pun begitu jgk. Insya Allah ;))

Gambar2 kat bwh ni hanya sebahagian hasil2 crochet yg yoan berjaya habiskan 😅 happy feasting your eyes!

Little cupcake keychain, amigurumi paten ;)) siap hadiahkn kat sahabat kraf yg yoan kenali kt IG and owl keychain requested by one of my handmade customer ;))

And recently, kasut baby ala2 Mary Jane skimmers yg masih lg dalam percubaan hehehe..tp mmg serius cute sgt benda2 ni 😍😍😍

Alrite setakat ini ajelah, apa2 boleh aje ikut yoan kt IG ya..ttfn ta taa for now ;))

What I've Been Up to?

The answer to the post question is getting myself busy with sewing hahah, what can I say, when we enjoy what we do you'll never get tired of it, right? Alhamdulillah under His Will i manage to finish some custom orders last week ;))

A little quick re-cap of them;

Pencil case

Mini coin pouch

Iphone 5 pouch

More pencil case ;))

Powerbank pouches and, a wristlet pouch.

****************************************************************************************************

Of all the busy days, i still want to try to find time to make myself something. It was my first time buying a pattern online via etsy. It was an "Idea Pouch" from michellepatterns. I simply love how versatile n the practicality of this pouch. You'll get what i mean once u've seen the photos ;))

There, great for keeping ur note/idea books, a few other items such as pens n ruler, (because there's a slot for pens/needles) or anything u wish to keep in such as tab/ipad/ipad mini, large size notebooks, even sewing/knitting utensils u can think of. For starter i made this one for safekeeping my journal which is a size of A5 ;)) 

I'm opening order for this kind of pouch, interested to know more, juz email me ;))

I guess thts all for now, wish u all have a productive weekdays!!
