Mood: Delighted

Sharing my loot with you again! This time I did the online purchase through Old Navy and the package arrived today right at my door step! This was a long-awaited package as it was my 1st time buying online with my credit card, there were some errors with the ON side and took a long while before the stuffs were being shipped out!

Me & my hb's loot


Baby Mischa's loot

I was spoilt for choice when I stepped into Spotlight on Friday. But as I have just started on this new hobby, I did not dare to invest in yarns that are too expensive. I just grabbed some cheap yarns and those on special discount. Wait till I am more experience then I will buy better quality ones to knit more stuff for my kids and frens!

I intend to make this pair of booties (I got the patterns from a mummy fren from the SMH forum) and I also chose the same RED HOT tone...but I intend to embellish them with sparkling Swarovski crystals....yippie....Look out for the progress of these booties...

My loot.....

Mood: Cheeky; happy

Last weekend finally collected my LOOT from a forum mummy fren. This time I really like my buys and they seem to be really good bargains...managed to get a set of 5pcs set for my dear son from Jshoppers and also a pair of jeans and 2 tops from Old Navy. Of course, not forgetting Baby Mischa, I got her some cute little dresses and romper. But these are not all, I am still waiting for my GAP orders and 2 other sprees from Old Navy....wahahaha......

From Jshoppers. I like the very Jap look.


These from Old Navy



For baby Mischa

Knitting has been a hobby I wanted to pick up since my school days. However it seemed like an expensive hobby and I always thought that we can only knit scarves and sweaters. In our climate, it is kinda impractical to be knitting stuff like that and i dun travel to places that are cold very often. Thus I have put that idea off for almost over a decade.

Recently I chanced upon Dor's lifeblog (a mummy from SMH forum) and she also enjoy knitting. I was fascinated by her works and she knits for her baby girl and herself. Then she posted a picture of the little booties she made for her Little Constance. I loved it and wanted to make those for baby Mischa too! It was very kind of Dor to offer beginner's knitting lessons for me, but the excited me could not wait and went to Chinatown the next day to shop for knitting tools and yarns. There were teachers in the craft shop offering free coaching as long as we get the materials from them. So today was my second day and I have started on my 1st project, a Bonnet for my baby. These are the things I bought yesterday. (yesterday have been learning the basics of knitting - see the white yarn below)



And this is the project that I am working on. I have started on the bonnet and will move on to make the scarf , booties and maybe the cardigan. *I hope I am not too ambitious!
