Rainbow Bear for Christopher

Few years back, I made my 1st batch of Teddy Bears for Constantine's year end party pack for all his friends & teachers in pre-school. 

I also made Christopher 1, with his favorite color yarn: Orange.

Then, in 2014, I created a series of Expression Bear using rainbow colors...

Christopher had been pestering me to make a new bear for him because his Orange Baby Bear (yes, he named his Orange Bear as Baby Bear) is breaking apart. Reason being he always plays with him...when I finished making Baby Bear, he always bring him out, putting him in his pocket...

So, Baby Bear is all worn out, after years of washing & playing.

Since I need to prepare some bears for an event this round, I've decided to make him a new bear. So we went & bought the yarn of his choice...

Then I made this...

This round, with improved skill, I manage to make the bear more solid compared to Baby Bear. But the problem is...it is too solid until can't be stuffed inside the pocket!!!😂😂😂

Christopher named him Baby Rainbow Bear...he plays with him everyday but he has been complaining that he is too big to fit into his pocket so he can't bring him everywhere he wants...😅😅😅

23rd Week of Craft Activity (26th July 2015)

This week, we showcase our wall decals & let the kids explore in terms of their preferred color.

We made a pair: an adult & a baby...

I love the owl, the dinosaur & the elephant the best! Which one is your favorite?

2015...the Year of Xiao Mian Yang (little sheep in Mandarin)

And, we have a WINNER! 

Yesterday, i posted a blog on my new experiment of sheep/lamb & did a little survey to find out which one is the most adorable one...so, the result is out! And,i gave her a name & a history too...:D

This is Clover, the Little Lambie.

Clover means prosperity, abundance, wealth, success, luck & overall well-being; which is highly auspicious for the Chinese. We Chinese sometimes can be very greedy & want all of the goodies yea! LOL

A little zodiac fact on sheep/lamb/goat...According to the Chinese Astrology, the Sheep/Lamb is the 8th sign & the number 8 is considered to be a very lucky number. It symbolizes wisdom, fortune & prosperity.

Clover is 18cm long & 10cm tall.

She is rather difficult to make as you can't really count the stitches when using fluffy yarn...lol

But I love the outcome!

Clover is available for pre-order now! Grab yours before it is too late! :D

My Girl's Crocheted Accessories

Girls being girls...we like to dress up...:)

Last Saturday, my girl & her 2 elder brothers had a photo shoot seesion with Kids-Tokei at Perdana Botanical Garden, KL. It was her 1st photo shoot session.

I prepared some accessories for the photo shoot, but at the very last minute as i was rushing for orders...

Here's the dress that i planned out for her...noticed the tiny little roses on the waistline?

Here's the back part of the dress...super love the giant bow! :)

And, here's the items that i made for her...

Red & White Baby Booties with Red & Pink Roses. This time, i added Red Ribbons to the booties & tie it around her ankle. It made her looked like a ballerina...lol

3-toned Roses Wristband. She was too fascinated to pull it out from her tiny hand...lol

3-toned Roses Hair Clip. This hair clip covers 1/3 of her head. Either she has a very small head or the hair clip is super large!

All in all, the photo shoot was a success. I can't wait to receive the photos! :D

3 Bunnies & Giant Carrots...

3 little bunnies are the best of friends in the world! They are 

Baby Grey Bunny, the dare devil.

Baby Brown Bunny. Being the youngest, he is the most shy guy among all.

& Baby Beige Bunny, the happy-go-lucky bunny

They almost do everything together. 

Like any best friends, they will also fight, cry & laugh together...

One day, while they are happily chatting away...

Suddenly, baby Grey Bunny smelled something nice. Being the most adventous 1, he went & explored!

Look at what he found!

It's a giant carrot! It's almost as big as baby Grey Bunny!

Happy with what he found, he brought his friends to the giant carrot...

'What are we supposed to do with this giant carrot?' Asked baby Grey Bunny.

'Should we share? But how?' Asked baby Beige Bunny.

While baby Grey Bunny & Baby Beige Bunny are discussing on how they can share the giant carrot among the 3 of them, baby Brown Bunny shys away...

While playing on his own, he found this!

'Wow! Another giant carrot!' He said. 'Maybe there's more!'

He ran back to his friends & asked them to join him...

'Come with me...I found another giant carrot! Maybe there's more!' Said baby brown Bunny.

So all 3 of them go together...

'Look! This is what I found here!' Said baby Brown Bunny...

'Hm...' Said baby Beige Bunny...

'Not fair! Both of you found a giant carrot but me!' Cried baby Beige Bunny.

'Maybe you will also find 1 here!' Said baby Grey Bunny. 'Let's try & dig up!'

They dig & they dig & finally...

'Look what I found!' Baby Beige Bunny shouted! 'I'm a very lucky bunny!' 

At last, all 3 friends enjoyed the giant carrots that they found happily together...

ps: the design of this bunny is not originated from me. I found the design from the internet, but can't remember which site it is...:( I made some changes though, to suit to my liking...:D

Who says Baby Booties got to be Boring? - Prince's version

I made so many gal baby booties...inspired by my gal, that many had asked whether I also make for baby boys...

So, to answer their requests, here are some Loafers & Moccasins that I have made...it is soooo cute!

Too bad I didn't think of making any when my 2 boys are babies...felt so sorry & guilty...:(

Well...at least now other baby boys get to wear it...so mommies, do get a pair for your boys yea...the baby also wants to be fashionable too! :D
