Catching Up

Yey! In a few days I'd be able to catch up with my WIPs. Sure, I'd miss my students for a few weeks but I could use some free time for my life's passions. For the past few days, I have been spending my coffee and lunch breaks on a tee pattern by Pierrot Yarns.  The pattern, Beauty Silk Cotton Tee, can be found in Ravelry and also in Pierrot Yarns'...

Moms and May

It has been more than a year since I last checked in here. After my mom's demise, I've been busy both at home and at work.  You can say I do miss this --- just as I missed my hooks and yarns.

baby, baby!

I have been really busy lately. Work tied me up in front of my PC for longer hours a day, and yet I couldn't find one sec to update this blog. I'm glad I still have a few finished projects I haven't shared with you before. These are for the little babes. Little ballerina shoes for baby. I forgot to draw a diagram for this one. This headband is...
