Four seasons slippers

DIY is like weeds, when it starts, you can't stopping it from spreading.

My slipper-making career started from a single felt oak leaf I cut when watching TV. It looked nice, so I started looking for a place to put it. then I saw my old slippers: after decorating, they were going to be nice. But when I tried to glue them, a new idea came up: I could make some new ones.

I ended my slipper-making career by two more fluffy ones.

Dear Yimi, I do like your blog. Everything is so beautiful. After a long search, I was so pleased to find fabric tulips as made by you - 2 or 3 petals? I like a single leaf. More leaves than that are too many. I just hope that those to whom I give them will be happy to receive them. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise with us. Regards, Linda.

A Crochet Wristlet with lining

One of the great things about crocheting is that it's portable, the supplies - a ball of yarn and a crochet hook - can be easily carried anywhere, making it perfect for crafting on-the-go. You can even work on your crochet projects while you're waiting in line, on a road trip, or anywhere else you find yourself. Sometimes I don't have any particular projects in mind, so I crochet pieces just to keep my hands occupied while indulging in other activities such as watching TV, videos, or reading novels. Over time, I've accumulated a collection of pieces. Some I have used soon after completing them, while others have found their way into my stash of unfinished projects (UFP) , which I believe every crafter has. Recently, I resolved to finally confront my pile of unfinished projects - a task I have attempted several times before, only to end up with more added to the pile. While digging through the UFP stash, I came across a rectangular crochet piece that

I'm not hallucinating, I can prove it

I love fabric, in an addictive manner, even in the past few years when I didn't have time to actually do any project, I still went to buy fabric from time to time, eventually, they are everywhere. Last week, somehow I suddenly thought about a specific fabric which was bought at Joanna years ago, a yard long. It is a brown fabric with blue, red, orange flowers and some sparkling, very pretty. I went thought the 1~2 yards brown pile, "no, not there", then I checked he floral design pile, not there either. Hmmm, maybe piles under 1 yard? no, I couldn't find it anywhere. This made me crazy. Am I imaging it? I actually never bought it, I saw it in some shop and got impressed, but I didn't buy it. I regretted so much that I imaged that I already had it. Is that possible? NO, I have evidence, luckily, LOL see, the left bottom fabric, that's the one I'm talking about. I'm glad that I made this owl pincushion long ago, although it has never
