I have been working on this video for a few months now. For lack of time and being a first timer at editing videos, this was a challenge. I found this pattern for a flower motif very interesting and I'm planning to make a handbag by joining several of these motifs. But I'm not sure if that would ever be possible. Check the video below explaining how this crochet flower is made.

Since this is my first time, your comments and feedback either here or on youtube would mean a lot to me. Subscribe to my youtube channel to be updated of more such tutorials in the future.

A post a day after valentines day but about valentines day only shows how busy I was on the V day. No it was not the usual 'I love you' and 'chocolates' day for me. But rather a lightbulb that glowed in my creative mind.

I have been waiting to make a quilled earring, use a beehive technique for the first time ever and all this had to happen on the day of love with the things I love to do the most - CRAFT

And so then what happened is .. I drew the whole sketch mentally then got to working right away. Completed one and then pulled out my tripod, attached my camera, set set set and made a video of how to go about it.

Yes you heard me right! A Video! A Tutorial! A Free Pattern!

Because I love you crafters so much I am putting my extra time and effort, going that extra mile. Editing my video as I type this post on another window (computers a meant to multitask, aren't they??)

So when done I will upload it on my new youtube channel, that would be the first ever upload and will keep you updated on when that happens. In the meantime please check the pic below of how it turned out.

And wonky yeah! Don't you see it was not a perfect heart after all just like all of us. A bulge here and there - not perfect, yet one that asks to be loved and in return gives as much love and care

Lots! to post. Starting with this one. Took me two days to make, confused fingers managing 3 colors of yarn, back ache, learning new ways to manage and a constant baby smiling - all these kept me until this little cap was done. Finally I was successful in taking this pic yay! Ultimately here I am writing a post after a loooooooooong time :)

Details: This cap fits 3-6 months baby. Pattern can be changed to fit a new born to a year or more may  be.
            Used a 4mm crochet hook
            4 ply yarn. 3 colors (Light brown, Orange and white)

I sweared by 'one post every month'. But could not keep it up. I am going to take the oath again as I am getting quiet a few requests from my friends. So here it goes.

My husband was showing me some sweet little baptism dresses. That reminded me of a crochet frock I had made. The simple dress used just two types of stitches a SC and Solomon's knot. This I made watching a video, guess I found it on youtube.
I have stored it for the time being, but in time will add some satin lining and ribbons, may be a little flower or butterfly.



 The size of the dress is just perfect for a newborn :)


Btw, I think these organza flowers would make a excellent embellishment.
