PROJECTS

I don't know why but I've started crocheting again. For some strange reason I decided to pick up the hobby a few days ago. I can't remember the last time I tried crocheting. I think it was high school. I've forgotten some of the stitches but with some practice these past couple of days, I managed to remember most of them. Anyway, I started making really easy projects first: anklets, necklaces, flowers, etc. I think that before I embark on a more challenging project, I need to practice my stitching first. I remember the first time I started crocheting, my stitches were so uneven. Hopefully, with a little practice and inspiration from the internet, I'll be able to come up with interesting projects. Maybe even crochet myself a pretty dress. :)

I want to have my own sewing machine. I recently bought a Japanese craft book on sale and it had a lot of interesting projects. I so want to try making them. Of course, I won't jump into the complicated pieces. I'm not unrealistic. I know my limits at this time. If only I were as good as blogger friend Amy in making those really cute bags and purses, maybe I could even sell them in Multiply. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I need a sewing machine first!! Maybe I could find a cheap but nice one at the mall. Any tips on how to buy a reasonably-priced sewing machine?

I'm so hoping that Ruther will come home for Christmas. Already the year is ending in such a depressing note, I just wish something will happen that would put some happiness and good luck in our lives. Does that sound so desperate? Well, it's just that 2009 is nothing at all like I pictured and hoped it to be. Sigh. It's times like these that I wish I had a crystal ball that really works...
