Craft-piration: One Stitch at a Time

Hello everyone!

Here's our Craft-piration for today.
source
Crafting is like life. We need to take one stitch/step at a time. But I think if your time is your enemy then you will make the most out of it, multitasking so to speak. And I am so guilty with that.

But I have learned that in order to save time and make your craft really nice, you must focus on it and refrain from doing multitask like browsing the net, hehe. 

So just take it easy. 

Enjoy crafting!

I Love Hello Kitty

I am working in a new design of crochet Hello Kitty. I started working on it last Sunday and up to now I am not yet done. Well, I am not working on it full time that's why. Another reason is whenever I am working on a new design, I always have the hard time figuring how to do it especially when I started from a scratch, that is no pattern.

This Hello Kitty booties is darn cute. I promise to post the photo after I am done on it. For the meantime, here's what I have done already.


Doll booties and Hello Kitty face

I have made Hello Kitty faces and I will attach these on the booties. Hopefully I can finish this tonight :)

Happy Crocheting!
