Kraft Hunting Thursday

Do you Pin? I mean Pinterest!!! :P
Loving to Pin around as giving me so many ideas!!!(I know many ladies are doing the same like me >.<)


Now, I have "pinned" so much... my wish-making list is so loooooooong now... haha


This LACE BOWL I have been longing to make! This is a traditional kraft but still popular somehow I think. I saw some similar item at Franc Franc. 


Do you want to make this too? or you have made one already?!? 
Can you share with me please?! :)

My Photoshop Tuesday

Before

After

I practice Photoshop by doing as I didn't learn it proper & I hate reading those "phonebook size" self-learning/ for dummies textbooks... so just learning by observing or asking colleagues & Mr. J so I am still at kindergarten level! XD

I like sitting next to Mr. J when he is doing sthg on PS. Then I would go back and try those technique... and sometime found out sthg new by myself and I would be very happy! (so naive!!!)

Usually, my procedure is:  

1) Take photo with Natural Sun Light(If in the morning and/or sunny day, otherwise with my desk lamp XD)& usually I like to use a white big cardboard as a background. 

2) after taking the photos I want, then I choose the best ones;

3) open it with Photoshop on my computer;

4) adjust the brightness of the photo;

5) then make a background frame(my preference);

6) then trying something out on PS... 

Today, I try out this....

Filter > Artistic > Cutout

can try out different styles to choose what u want

I picked this one! ;)

Tell you a secret! Before I practice my drawing and photo editing on PS, I used PowerPoint to make drawing... people couldn't realize I used PPT to draw!!! wahahahahaha

Draw with PowerPoint :P

From now on, I will post my PS practice on every Tue here! 
Stay tune and you are always welcome to leave your advice to me! Thanks!!!!


So enjoy My Photoshop Tuesday!

Crochet a flower brooch

This is a quick project! 

After you made 3 different sizes flower.. then stack and sew them together... look pretty already, 

but add a pearl, bling bling or even a button on the middle, it will look totally different and upgrade a lot! :)

Don't forget add a brooch pin at the back so can wear it on cloth, bag, hat, or even on your pencil case! :)

Baby Bib: Knit + Crochet

Searching on Ravelry.com.... can give me many ideas, references, patterns.... but sometime too much to choose.... 

Recenlty I was searching baby bib....  but at the end I made my own version! Hope it works on a baby girl! ahahahah 

1. Start with Knitting a square 15cm x 15cm (approx.) in Stocking sts;
2. Single crochet (sc) around the rim;

3. [Double Crochet (dc), chain (ch), Double Crochet] repeat *in 3 sides only;

4. [(dc1, ch, dc2, ch, dc3, ch, dc4, ch, dc5), sc] repeat

5. chain 45 and make 3 rows of sc... add a button hole at the end.

Oh I used the 55% cotton & 45% polyacrylic, Yarnart Jean. It is very soft and easy to knit & crochet with! 

I will try to make this crochet part in diagram... as I learnt that way.. I don't like to read crochet in words! How's about u? :P

Love love, k
