The Joys of Crocheting

Seeing lots of beautiful crochet creations in Pinterest, triggers my interest into this craft. I woke up one day and decided, I wanna learn how to crochet. It is a simple and non expensive craft if you ask me. All you need is some yarn and a hook and you can create beautiful things with your hands. After searching and watching and absorbing the information in the internet on how to, I finally finished my first ever crochets!


The scarf is supposed to be for my son. But I ran out of orange yarn and can't find the exact color anywhere so I decided to just give it to his teddy bear. Then I made a headband with bow for my very pretty niece. I used single crochet SC in both which I learned from a tutorial online. I forgot the link though. If you like to try crocheting too, I'm sure you can find something just by searching for it.

I think I'm ready now for a beanie! :)

Second Year Adventure

In a couple of days, my son Riley would turn three. It's a bittersweet moment for me personally. I am happy in one side because his Lola Edith is now home and we are together again. On the other side, I am sad because we lost two of his grandparents this year. Riley's Lolo Boy and Lola Ising. They will be missed absolutely. I know they'll watch Riley from heaven.

But life must go on.

A lot of changes, a lot of memories that happened. Laughters and happiness that this year brings. Captured in some photo and locked safely in my heart forever. I'll let the pictures tell all about his adventure as he traversed this wonderful age that is TWO!

I think he had fun this year, as he always does. He'll turn three but he will always be a baby to my eyes! Oh, how time flies. Don't grow up too fast anak or mama won't catch up. I love you dear Riley!

The Difference a Day Can Make

Yesterday, I was anxious, too excited to eat, restless, worried, praying for a safe flight, sleepless, dying of anticipation, wanting the time to fly fast.

who's that pretty woman walking down the street?
Today, I can breathe a sigh of relief, at peace, can sleep soundly, thankful. 

Well, that's our one and only mother!
Yesterday, I was happy. But today, I am SUPER happy! What a huge difference a day can make! This day ends all the days of waiting. Shes finally home!

My Early Bday and Christmas List

Ber na! Mlapit na bday ko at cyempre ang pasko! So to those meaning to give me gifts (ehem ate, ehem janice, ehem eddieboy) maybe this list would help you decide. Di naman ako excited diba?!

1. Mini sewing machine so I can make a lot of repairs and projects.



2. Friends DVDs (all season) so I wouldn't have to watch the reruns on the tv.



3. Books, books! I'm collecting Mitch Albom now. I already have Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. This one I want:



4. Smart phone. Coz my phone is not too smart that's why. Ok na sakin kahit Cherry Mobile at samahan nyo na rin ng powerbank. :p



5. Wristwatch. One from Timex if you insist. :)


6. Hair rebond. Ako na sana gagastos pero kung sasagutin nyo, mas ok sa akin!



7. USB Flash Disk 16gig. I still can't find my 2gig flash disk until now. Riley, umamin ka na kasi san mo nilagay! 




There. Don't bother to wrap it up, ok?
