Happy Mom’s Day

It’s Mother’s Day here in Singapore. I bet lots of mommies are getting a treat from their children.
I gave mom a handmade felt tablet cover. She’s been looking for a cover for her android tablet but haven’t found any. Sooo… i made her one.

It’s just a simple design. If i ever find time to make another one for her, i’ll add a flap cover.
I also drew for her a pix that i set as her handphone’s lock screen wallpaper.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there. To the children…treat your mom as if everyday is mother’s day.

 

Handphone cover

I went across the causeway on Wednesday with mom and our neighbour. It was just a day filled with good food, lots of walking and some quite a bit of shopping. I bought a transparent handphone cover (the one with a transparent back which i couldn’t find here) & a pair of B.U.M Equipment shoes. Mom wanted to buy a handphone cover too but they didn’t sell any for her handphone model. Her old cover is pretty worn out with scratches on it.
Since she didn’t manage to buy one, i offered to make her one. I finished it this morning. What do you think?

The plastic part and magnets are taken from mom’s old handphone cover. The rest is made from felt with an index card in between the outer and inner felt layers. She loves it! Yay!

My handphone is sporting a personalized cover (that’s the reason why i wanted a transparent cover). Check it out:

I plan to change the design from time to time. If you have any suggestions on what should be on my handphone cover design, leave me a comment ya!
P.S. i haven’t been making any amis lately. =(

 

Octopus hat, alien & WiP

Remember the octopus hat i tested for Sharon a.k.a. AmiAmour? I did tell you about it, didn’t i? Pardon me if i didn’t. Anyway, i thought i would never have the chance to wear the hat here in sunny Singapore. I wore it just now in the office. How do i look?

Look out! The alien is here!!! ;D
We are having a space camp in June. So today was the principal’s preview where we tell the centre principals about the synopsis of the camp. I play the alien who is trying to save the universe. Wish me luck! ^_^v

The granny squares are almost done. I should be joining them over the weekend. Hopefully it’ll be ready by Monday. Then i can give it to my friend, Linda, as her birthday present.

 

Knit Out & WiP

Yesterday i went for a Knit Out with the Singapore Knitters Group on Ravelry. It is my 2nd KO with the group. There were about 11 or maybe 12 of us in total… though not everyone came at the same time. It was lovely to meet Lynne again. I passed to her the 2 preemie hats that i made. She promised to call me if KKH allows us to see the preemies.
I received these yarns for free yesterday.

Selene (one of the ladies who came) wanted to destash and she was just giving them away! Isn’t that nice of her?

During the KO i started on a new project: a bag for my dear friend. I hope she’ll like it. Here’s a sneak pic of it:

 

Purly the kitty sock

Meet Purly the kitty sock.

Purly loves eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast, grapes pie for lunch and plum pudding for dinner. She also loves to prance around outdoors with her friends.

 

A hook bag and some preemie hats

I’ve been wanting to make a crochet hook bag for myself but I didn’t have the time. So when I saw this bag at Art Friend (a shop that sells art supplies), I thought it’d make a good bag for my hooks. I love it! Now my hooks are all in one place instead of here, there and everywhere.

Some of the SGknitters are making preemie hats to give to the preemies at KKH. They are also making some scarves and hats for a group of children in India. So far I’ve made only 2 preemie hats. I do have a scarf that I made previously but have not given to anyone. I might give that to the children in India. Here are the hats (thank you Hexa and Cookie Monster for being my models)

 

Danag the sock bat and other strez buddiz

Blind as a bat is what Danag is. But he has supersonic hearing which pretty much makes up for his blindness. >_<

I made him today at work. I kinda forced the whole department to do one for themselves too. I call them the "strez buddiz". They work like stress balls and helps you to relief tension. The department I'm working in has a monthly "Happy Staff, Productive Staff" treat. I was in charge of this month's treat. Sometime last month I sent everyone an invite saying:
Keep your eyes peeled
And your fingers nimble
For at the end of it
Your stomach won’t grumble
They were all so curious and wanted to know more. So a few days before the event, I sent them a link to a video showing “Sound of Music’s Do Re Mi”. They thought I was going to serve them tea with jam and bread.

They were relieved that wasn’t it. We started with an egg hunt. Inside the eggs were these:

After that I showed them these:

They all squealed in delight saying that they were adorable. They started choosing the one they wanted. I started taking out the materials and told them that they are going to make one for themselves. They started to groan. But then after showing them the steps, they managed quite well. I could even leave them for awhile to collect the food that I ordered for the event. Here’s the whole gang (photo taken by Kelly):

Everyone said they had fun. I’m just happy to see their creations and that the event went well. ^_^
