Free crochet pattern of an adorable pair of boy and girl and their cute little kitty cat!

I made a crochet-along video playlist for the boy a while back, check out our YouTube channel got the video tutorial!

The written pattern is now on LisMakes.com!

The knitted balaclava patterns are finally finished and released! Now I need to work fast to restock inventory and then I can resume my new sewing hobby! 🥰

A casual glance from my kitchen window transports my mind to an imaginative and creative journey; brief but interesting.

Inner Mongolian cashmere - a luxuriously soft and warm knitted winter hood.

Super soft and lightweight cashmere knitted balaclava hood with drawstring in coffee brown

I wore the #jaluskirt I made from @dressupwithgrace reel and I decided to keep it as it is; I love it! It's such an easy first sewing project and I plan to sew more skirts and clothes soon!!

Soft, lightweight, but super cozy and warm knitted balaclava hood. Limited quantity. Relaxed fit for a roomier feel.

It only makes sense to progress and expand fiber crafts to sewing since I already knit, crochet, and embroider. Not too shabby for my first skirt!

I finally finished and released the paid pattern for this Daisy bag crochet pattern with lining instructions. I've been working slower than ever due to medical incidents. They are mostly nuisances - incision sites reinfections and other testings.

Well, working slowly is still progressing surely!

Floral season and seasons of flowers. A little home decoration goes a long way in brightening your living space.

Some of us spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, and a nicely decorated kitchen makes the chores easier. Here are some beautiful 3D crochet rose towel holders that are both functional and good-looking!

Happy Hookers: findings from an international study exploring the effects of crochet on wellbeing - PubMed The data suggests that crochet offers positive benefits for personal wellbeing with many respondents actively using crochet to manage mental health conditions and life events such as grief, chronic il...

Therefore, we crochet and craft! It's good for mental health!

Small businesses need to be resilient and make changes accordingly.

Put on a floral flowy dress, sling the lovely Daisy Granny Square bag over your shoulder, and let the spring story sing! Crochet bags are back in trend, perhaps because we are all in the mood to swing back in the past when most things were made by hand.

Personalized embroidered bookmark corners, handmade, packed, and shipped!

Reading becomes harder with all the notifications coming from our devices. Take a moment to slow down, turn off the devices, appreciate the hand embroidered bookmark with a meaningful message; now read without distractions.

New design added to our personalized embroidered bookmark corner.

Just added two more Highland Balaclava Hood with blended yarn for an extra color burst. These are ideal for people who don't want the turtleneck that doubles as face covering. The wider neck opening means easy removal!

Slowly adding inventory to the Highland Balaclava hood. Given that I am working so slowly (due to ongoing medical interventions) to expand my inventory, I am considering offering downloadable patterns. I just don't have the capacity to make more and shipping across borders might cost too much soon.

This Daisy Granny Square Sling bag took me forever to finish. This spring, I am loving soft pastel dreaming colors, especially after the ongoing tornado 🌪️ warnings and all that come with them.

Any day is a great day to receive a positive review from the customer. My heart is full although my body is exhausted - from the trip prepping that got canceled.

My last order before I leave for a short trip. I have at least 2 minor surgeries lined up right after I return from traveling, so I may take a while before finding time to test the new designs that I have drafted.

The charming cable-twist edging adds a timeless touch, making it ideal for transitional seasons or milder winter days.

Our new Highland knitted Balaclava Hood is perfect for those who desire warmth without a face covering. With its wide, open neckline, it offers easy removal while providing excellent head and neck coverage.

The only reason I hoard stickers (and print my own too!)!

The silver lining of a quiet season is that I don't feel as guilty spending that much time baking instead of crafting. 😉

So I decided to bake 96 mini pot pies-so we called them that. Most of them were with savory creamy potato chunks and frozen vegetables; some were sweet non-dairy chocolate filling. I used a Southeast Asian flaky pastry recipe which used water and oil dough layering technique - laborious process!

In Spring, it sprouts 🌱

Interlocking colored circles remind me of the 70s, when life was simpler. I only have an older sister, and growing up, my mom paid a seamstress to make matching clothes for us using fabric with geometric circle prints.

Wear a little sunshine to brighten your days! Handmade crochet sunflower 🌻 earrings, lightweight and whimsical.
