Fluffy cakes

 I was never one for cupcakes. I'm more of an ice cream cake fan, but the future sis-in-law loves them so I think they've kinda grown on me haha. She sorta inspired me to make some cupcakes. Found this cute pattern online and decided to make a whole tray of them! I was thinking of adding some beads for sprinkles.

Here's the link for the pattern:

Half chocolate, half vanilla :)


The bf & being our usual silly selves. I actually thinks that he enjoys being a part of my crochet pics :P

Mmm now I'm craving some REAL cake. Something fluffy & chocolate!

An apple a day

 The future sis-in-law was looking for an apple pattern for a bday gift. I searched online and found a few, but then I saw this adorable pic of a crocheted apple with a worm sticking out! I just had to make my own pattern. I ended up making it more tomato shaped and it turned out bigger than I thought, but I still think it's cute. I'm proud of it! Msg me if you want the pattern :)

Oh... and I just got my shipment of safety eyes from Glasseyesonline.com. Very good site. And I got free shipping cuz of this promotion that's going on til Jan 31st. I used my very first pair of safety eyes on the happy worm :)

Hope you like it!

By the way, the pictures I post up are just ideas of things I can make. I sample some patterns, but I like to create my own. I won't sell items that are made from protected patterns :)

Entrepreneur

After making almost everyone's Christmas gifts and having received such positive feedback, I've decided to be brave and start a part-time craft business. I'm 26 and I've been crocheting for over 9 years. I've always wanted to and making crafts is my passion. So why not?

I posted up a bunch of my creations on Facebook, and I even got my very first request for a custom item! But for now, I'm going to keep this within friends and friends of friends.

So, if anyone's interested, I'll be posting up items from time to time. Just message me and I'll see what I can do for you. I'm also up for making custom items, or if you have an idea of something that you'd like, I can definitely work with you and create a pattern that will suit your needs! If you can think it, I can probably make it!

Here's an idea of the things that I'll be selling:
  • Scarves, mittens, hats, beanies
  • Baby clothing (sweaters, beanies, booties, etc.)
  • Amigurumi dolls/animals
Some stuff I've made over the years:  * baby hoodie & booties

 * baby beanie with bear ears

 * brimmed hat

 * bear balloon (with scarf)

 * bunny balloon

 * ninja balloon
 

 * mouse (with bell at end of tail)

 * bunny

 * koala

 * penguin
 * girl dinosaur
 * totoro!
 * poo

 * toad mushroom from mario (own pattern)

 * pink hippo

 * jon the chemist (own pattern)

 * erlenmeyer flask (own pattern)


I'll be posting up more pics as I finish making items. Feel free to comment or even email me (lkim02@gmail.com) if you're interested!
