September finishes #01 : Crocheted Bag

Part of the Stash Buster Challenge 2013

Hi there!

This is what I've been crocheting for the last two weeks and

.  

 I finished  it yesterday.  A crocheted bag!

I follow the pattern from one of the Japanese magazine "Cotton Friend" that I bought 

some time last year.

 I used two balls of  40gm Wina yarn in dark grey which you can find HERE. Any two balls of yarn bought from my shop will receive this pattern for free.  My next Stash Buster Challenge will be using these file of beautiful yarns...

April Goals : To-Do-List

Here it comes...April, my birthday month.  I born on 1st April and with hope this month I will be more productive and able to accomplish all the goals I've listed here.
  

Firstly and priority given is for this Scrappy String Quilt top which I would like to finish.  It is a carry forward UFO from March... This project is the main goal to accomplish for  "A Year of Finishes"   Basically I already started joining the pieces but time did not permit me to finish it up in March. 

Secondly is another UFO  that I've carry forward from February...To piece all these blocks into a quilt top...

Thirdly is  to start hand quilt this scraptacular quilt top...

Fourth - to finish sewing these charm squares into a bag for myself...

 

Fifth is to continue stash busting my yarn....and  I am trying to finish my current Work in Progress...these African flower which was one of my goal in March....again another carry forward project. Oooh...I was really slow in March!

February finishes #02 : Crochet Coin Purse

This post is part of the Stash Buster Challenge 2013 : #01

At last... I finished my first project for the Stash Buster Challenge.  This challenge is hosted by Linda over at Linda's Crafty Corner. These are the yarns that I am thinking of using at first but I end up with only two yarns being used...

and this is how my first project looks like....crocheted coin purse.  The finished size of this coin purse is 4" x 5.5".   I am using this challenge not only to make use my stash but also to try new stitches and create new pattern. 

 

This coin purse was crocheted  using star stitch following the tutorial that I found at Fruitful Fusion.

After everything done, I found that I have wrongly sew the lining...(the zipper should be hidden between the lining and the crochet piece) Anyway it just too many thing to re-do ...so I just leave it as it is. First lesson to learn from my first project.

These are the yarns that I will be using for my next project which yet to be decided ... definitely it must be something that I've never try before. 

Happy Crocheting!!
