Being crafty
I have been in my crafty mood lately. Since my first creative swap was a success (I somehow forgot to take photos for that), the second one is quite a challenge. So I have been in a tinkering attitude lately. I wanted to start knitting again and was hoping to make a pidge (buttoned) scarf. Sinta and Odette definitely inspired me to start knitting again.

The last time I knitted was in high school for a scarf project. Thanks to the internet I was able to re-learn the “how to” of starting to knit.

Here’s what I’ve started.

And here’s the finished product. I decided that this first knitting project to be for my daughter. I will attempt the pidge scarf next time.

With the 2nd exchange of the creative swap, I decided to make key chains and book marks.

I hope my craft swap partner will like these.

Some crafty loot
And today, I got a nice surprise in the mail. I got my swap loot from the creative swap.

Caryn of Sari-saring Kulay gifted me with these pretty earrings. The beads are made of clay which Caryn made herself. i love all of them. the blue ones are for my daughter and she loves them too. Her ears are not yet pierced but after seeing these earrings, she is convinced she wants them pierced now. I am hoping she will go through this time.

And I got this pretty charm i will be putting on my cell phone. The twisted beads are detachable so I might used it as a bag accesory.

And then there’s some coffee and tea. Looking forward to having them soon.

I love the card, the beads and the box too. Thanks Caryn.
