Blast from the Past: Crocheted Earrings & Accessories 2006

The first time my creations were actually sold in the market was in 2006. My friend Alessa had an idea of selling crocheted accessories through her line, "Accessories by Alessa." We brainstormed with patterns and colors and came up with great pieces. I didn't think I could make money out of a hobby, well, it didn't really cross my mind that people out there would be interested in what I was doing :)

It was definitely a successful run. Thanks as well to Alessa's network in the fashion industry, it got featured in magazines such as Preview, Mega, Yes!, and Girlfriend.

Even Pia Guanio wore one of our earrings for the Enervon ad. All pictures courtesy of Alessa Lanot.

I started working on a new collection under my own line. Watch out for the new pieces in the near future!

OMG. So much yarns!!!

So my boyfriend Rob said he had a surprise for me today. Then he gave me a bag full of this:

I have never received so much yarns in my life...IN MY LIFE!!! It's just like Christmas! 18 skeins of Morris Estate 8-Ply Wool Yarns from Australia.

I've been drooling since I got them. You da man, Rob! :p

Two Target Projects for 2012

There are 2 (and I must say geeky) crochet projects I must do before the year ends:

The Mask of the Blue Demon image was taken from Wikipedia and the Yoda image from Wookieepedia.

There's something odd about this pairing :p The luchador mask will be for my boyfriend and an amigurumi Yoda will be for a friend. I hope I get to post the finished products before 2013.
