MuM's SmALL CrOcHet HaT

Wow... mum's crochet hat! This is the only item that isn't made by me on this blog. My mum loves to crochet as much as I do and that's all that she does at home if there is nothing else for her to do. She has made a lot of other items as well and designed her own bags too. I will include some of her designs here on my blog and hope that the designs are interesting to all of you who read this blog.

Here are just some of the images of the small hat that my mum made, it is quite small and can't fit on my head, so I think it's good for children.

The mobile phone pouch. hmmm don't you think i have this repetitive checkered pattern here? Well i have to think of a better pattern for my other items. I didn't have enough colors so I just used whatever I had in my yarn collection. My brother thinks pink is disgusting but who cares. It's normal for a guy right? This pouch can almost fit all type of mobile phones as long as it's not bigger than an i-Phone. You will have to pull it together on the sides to shut the top of the pouch. I will upload more new patterns for this pouch later as I am still planning on making other new designs for this tiny blog of mine.

On the top picture you can see the pouch from the flat view, and on the left you can view it from the bottom. The picture quality isn't that good though. My apologies.

Size of the pouch:

height: 9cm

width: 5cm

Colour:

Pink

Light Brown

The Extra Cute Mini Replica Bags! These were the bags that I have mentioned on my previous post. These mini replicas are really easy to make and can be finished in less than an hour (without the flower decorations and the buttons.) Buttons and flowers will have to be sewn on after the bag is finished. These bags cannot store anything so don't think you can bring it around to put your wallet in this is because it is even smaller than your wallet. The bags are as small as a keychain but just a little bit bigger in size.

The Size of the Bag:

Height: 6cm

Width: 1.5cm

Length: 3cm

I actually got the idea for this design from a keychain my friend gave me when she went to Sabah for a short trip with her friends. Sabah is well known for the souvenirs they sell and it looked quite awesome actually. For the design you can view the pictures that I have uploaded in this post.

I have actually sold a few of these bags at ebay and I never thought they would sell. Even though I sold them just for a few RM's it was quite ok.. I guess.... Oh well.

Here is the most recent picture of the mini replica bags....

 The paper  bag look alike! That's what I like to call it hahaha. This is the 2nd design I thought of ... not! :)  Actually I had the Extra Cute Mini Replica Bags but I don't have the pictures so I will write about them later once I get the pictures. Well here's the story on this design, I was going to work one day and  I was using this paper bag I got from an optical shop after buying colored contact lenses,  it was raining at tjat time and I stupidly decided to put my wet umbrella inside my "paper bag" when I went on the bus to go home. When I got home, there was a big hole at the bottom of the bag. Geez was I pissed. Well I decided to make something that wouldn't get a hole punched through it even if your umbrella was wet. This is what I came up with. The paper bag look alike. It took me almost 4 days to make it with the help of my mum off course. I wasn't too sure it would turn out this nice. When we joined the sides and the bottom up and made the handle it didn't look so bad. 

The approximate size of this bag is:

Height: 20cm

Length: 15 cm

Width: 7cm

Just like th coasters, I put a plastic card inside the bottom, front and back of the bag so it stands up. It's a bit hard to fold the bag but it's still easy to store because of the size. I used Blue for the colour just to see what it would turn out like. Well, there it is. The Blue Checkered Paper Bag Look Alike.

HaNd MaDe CoAsTeRs...

This is my first design that i thought of. Hand made coasters. These coasters are crochet coasters well checkered in design but it comes in all colors. The colors in the picture are only samples.

Well it took me 3 days to finish making all 4 pieces. Not an easy thing if you were working all day and come home just to do crochet. My mum helped me out a little as well so it wasn't that bad. I think I'd better give the dimensions of the coasters too so there is a rough estimation on how big they are.

Size: 6cmX6cm
Note that the size is just approximate and any color can be used according to your choice. The colors I used for this design are pink, light brown, light green and orange.

Inside each coaster there is a plastic board which i cut according to size so it doesn't get wrinkled up when you put it away. It might be hard to wash these coasters but at least it looks nicer with the plastic board inside.
