Must Have: Fat Bag that Fits Everything

Just like the 'Little Black Dress' and the 'Favourite Black Pants', every girl needs a Fat Bag!  You know what I'm talking about... the bag that:
- Goes with most outfits
- Can be dressed up or down
- Fits everything a girl needs and more!

Well, this is my version of such a bag :-)


I got the pattern by altering/combining 3 Pierrot Yarn designs.  The original designs are available for free here, here and here from Ravelry.

Eccentric Bow Tie

Hello again!

I come in peace :-)

A few weeks ago we were invited to a wedding.  I love being invited to weddings, don't you?  As exciting as it was, I admit Little Man was more excited than me!  You see, sometimes he's not included in the invitation and that makes him really sad :'(

However, he WAS invited so we will focus on happier thoughts... like Dressing Up! :-)

Well begun is half done

Hello again!
Thank you so much for popping by.
I challenged myself to make my brother's 20th at least semi-memorable.  It took me a while to come up with a smart yet simple project that would:
● need minimal resources, so I didn't have to leave the house ;-)
● be 'mature' as his uni friends would be present and I really didn't want to embarrass him (or them).
● be interactive, a talking point.
My brother, who was born a dozen years after me, and I get on like a house on fire. He loves taking pics and is a huge supporter of Instagram and other image sharing networks. Thus, I decided to make some fun Photo Props for his big day.

Finding a 'Voice'

Hi there!

I come in peace :-)

So this 'blog thing' is still very new to me.  I've approached it the way I tend to approach all the other new things I'm interested in learning about - I've been Googling it!  That's technology for you.

I grew up in times when technology was limited to colour TVs and word processors on giant PCs.  I fondly remember, so many years back, the TV my grandfather had. It was 'state of the art' ... It had a remote control! 

New beginnings

Hi there!

May peace and blessings be upon you :-)

Welcome to Way-d, my very own bit of Blogville, where I plan to share my two cents worth on all things dear to me.  From crochet to paper crafts to poetry and a few other creativities in between.  A bit of everything, a lot of nothing.  A space to personify the quote I try to live by:  "Every day, in every way, I am better and better." (M. Angelou)

This is something I've wanted to do for a long while... start a blog. I plan on starting small, with weekly posts, maybe. I do hope you enjoy what I share with you, for I really do enjoy sharing.  If you'd like to follow my journey via email, please type in your email address in the box on the right hand side of this page.  I really do look forward to entertaining and inspiring you.

For starters, I'd like to share a crochet project I worked on a few months ago.  It was made especially for my Mom.  Although I take credit for the work done, I cannot take credit for the creativity.

I found the picture here and used my growing knowledge and experience to figure it out!

I'm sorry I didn't take any pics along the way.  All I have are pictures of the completed bag.  But, i do plan on sharing the patterns I have created along the way... so stay tuned.  

Till next time :-)
