Me, having fun with water color

Hakim & Aishah coloring with color pencil

I was sitting with Hakim and Aishah while they were doing some coloring.

Well, thinking about water color that I bought a few days ago, Aishah asked me to buy for her. Then I try to draw something for Aishah and Hakim to see and inspire them. Looking at our photo hanged above our dining table, I got an idea to draw this hahaha..

New Skill I learnt : Teddy Bear shape using graph.

Still looking for new project. Anyone would like to suggest? Maybe I want to continue with my cross stitch which I stopped doing it a few months ago. :P

Crochet Bag

Since I am doing my knitting, my mom seems to be jealous on me. Look what she had made from my knitting yarns. She made this bag using crochet hook and its very cute and even put embellishment on it.

She will start her new project soon. That how we are at home, one knitting and the other one is crocheting. Even my husband get bored of all the yarns we have. Fun with knitting and crocheting. That why my kids like to disturb us with pulling the yarns and run. They are having fun too..

FO: Hoodie Cardigan Hi, I am janneth, knitter from Malaysia, I started my knitting Hobby in 2006, when we were going back to Netherlands. So I knitted cardigan for my daughter and pull over for my son. Recently, I've knitted my friend's son a hoodie cardigan, which was my first time of knitting cardigan with hoodie. I am still new with knitting. So I would like to share with you all, what I've done for knitting. The hood is not really straight. its curly at the edge of it. Maybe because of the thread I used. It so difficult to find a suitable thread at Malaysia. We only have wool from india, Aclyric and cotton but not so many. So whatever we have I just use it. Ooo..ya almost forgot, I got this pattern from http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=274. My current project is sweater for my son. Thanks and I will share the photo of my current project once I finish it. Thank you. Attached Thumbnails: __________________ J_neth
