Work In Progress Crochet 5: October 2015

WIP. Did some hand stitch embroidery on crochet last night to make more intricate patterns. 😘

When I was in primary school SRB St. Paul Kuching,  I was quite lucky that they have Sewing club as one of the cocurricular activities at that time.  I first learned to do hand stitch embroidery & also the hexagon patchwork turtle 🐢 at the club 😀.

How about you? When do you start to learn crochet/knit/sewing?

Sewing Project for Mom's Birthday Gift

Last 2 weekend sew project from a sewing amateur.

For the first time, I sew a Mega Credit Card Wallet for my mum's birthday gift (17th Oct). She always has 'tonnes' of cards in her bag so hope that this can help her to get the cards organised. My stitches are a bit horrible! Sorry Ma  will ganti a better one the next one I make k. I changed the fastener from velcro (tutorial) to magnetic button.

If you want to try to make one for yourself, checkout the tutorial for Mega Credit Card Wallet at www.infarrantlycreative.net or you can order from my friend @sarangcraftbyabby who can sew this fabulous wallet for you.

The gift swap: Crafter's Get-Together Ver.6

The gift swap! Just a coincidence that me & Miyyah got each other swap item! 

Miyyah got my bluey MFK Monster Pin Cushion that I did last night. I got her awesome surprise box full of papercraft tools & stuff! How lucky I am!  She made the beautiful paper roses.

Crafter's Get-Together Ver.6 at Scrap-n-Crop

Last Sunday I went for the crafters get-together Ver.6 at Scrap-n-Crop at Kajang.

Most of the participants are paper crafters & I've joined them since 5 years ago. I've learned a lot from them on paper crafting. It was as usual, a fun & crazy event. 

Basically this is how the normal crafter gathering work table looks like. Mostly papercrafters have lotsa stuff to use  Luckily I still stick with my yarn & crochet needle since 6 years ago I start joining them. This is the only time of the year I make cards with some help from the papercrafter experts! 

Here's some of the cards that we did. But I just did one!  

        

After all the craziness, crafting, chit chatting, sharing info, munching on yummy food & a gift swap, here's couple of our group photos!    

After the craft 'party', 2nd round at the nearest mamak for tea break :D

Malaysian Tropical Fruits Crochet Hat

Introducing the festive Malaysian Tropical Fruits Beanie!  a.k.a. Malaysian Tutti Frutti Hat. ❤

I've arranged all the fruits onto a beanie, inspired by the fruit hat fashion popularized by Carmen Miranda in the 40s.

Aizat my marathoner friend custom ordered for the SCKLM run last Sunday, but unfortunately cancelled due to the bad haze.

What do you think? Would you dare to wear this unique piece? 

Rambutan Crochet Amigurumi

The hairy red Rambutan!
Rambut is hair in Bahasa Malaysia. 💇❤

Scientific name: Nephelium lappaceum

It comes in red, yellow or green in colour. It is closely related to lychee & longan. One of Malaysia's native fruits. It's a nice fragrant fruit that has a thick juicy flesh.

I know this is not the best look for rambutan but pompom is the easiest way by using yarn.😉

Mangosteen, the queen of fruits, Crochet Amigurumi

Mangosteen aka Manggis, the beautiful purple queen of fruits! 💜👸

Scientific name: Garcinia mangostana

They say this sweet yummy Mangosteen is full of antioxidant.👍

A few years back, I did some Mangosteen brooch for kulitmanggis 😉 that was my first crochet of the fruit.

When I was small, I had been stung by wasps on the head a few times at my grandpa's fruit orchard in Sibu. I was picking some mangosteen under the tree. Didn't recall much about the incident but mum said my head & face was puffed up so badly.😢

🚑 I survived (obviously) with no clear recall of the event except remembered a glimpse that I cried badly at the front door of my grandpa house (not sure whether it's real) 😀

Durian, the king of fruits, Crochet Amigurumi

Ohayo! Let's start this morning with the super controversial Durian, the king of fruits! 👑❤

Scientific name: durio zibethinus

You either really hate it or love it. I love it, how about you? 😀
The creamy sweet scullent flesh just irresistable although the smell might be very bad for some people. It's forbidden to bring the raw fruit into most of the hotels & airports. 🏢✈

Most expensive local durian that I know is Musang King, can go until RM50/kg (weight of the whole fruit with skin).
Some yummy  local dessert/food uses durian ⏩ sticky rice with durian,  durian porridge, durian crepe, durian ice cream, gulai tempoyak, tempoyak goreng etc. Tempoyak is fermented durian where it turns a bit sour over time and normally it's use in cooking 😙

It was a real challenge to make the durian spikes. What do you think? Does it look yummy as the real one? 😁

Watermelon Crochet Amigurumi

A slice of sweet juicy Watemelon aka Tembikai or Semangka!  🍉🍉🍉

Scientific name: Citrullus lanatus

It's actually the same family as the cool cucumber. It is not from citrus family although the name does indicate it as one. Maybe they just use it because it's round like some citrus fruits.The fruit consist of 91% water & packed with vitamin C.

Just love the fresh watermelon juice. The seed can be dried to make crunchy treat called kuaci. 😋

Mango Crochet Amigurumi

Let's start the morning with the golden sweet Mango aka Mangga 🍭
Scientific name: Mangifera indica

I just love mango. It's one of my favourite fruit! The best when eaten cold. It's use in a local dessert called pulut mangga where sticky/glutinous rice topped with sweet mango & creamy coconut milk. Yum! 😍

Buah Mata Kucing (subspecies Longan) Crochet Amigurumi

Now a bunch of local buah Mata Kucing! 👀🐱 . Direct translation ⏩ Cat Eye fruit

Scientific name: Euphoria malaiense

It is commonly found in Sarawak, Malaysia. A subspecies of longan but not the same. Slightly smaller in size and it has the sweetness you just can't resist. There a variety which is more on wild type that has an uneven skin like nona fruit in green or brown colour. But the taste is the same.

My Kuching home backyard has a tree that can produce lotsa yummy mata kucing when the season comes every year 😘

Did you know? There is a story version that Kuching city in Sarawak was named Kuching because mata kucing grows widely there at that time. 😁

Starfruit aka Carambola Crochet Amigurumi

Here's a slice of the  starry Starfruit aka Carambola aka Belimbing!🌟🌟🌟
Scientific name: Averrhoa carambola

Such a unique shape fruit, don't you think? 😁

Did you know? It's rich in antioxidant, pottasium & vit C. But harmful for kidney problem individual (kidney stone, kidney failure or on kidney dialysis) and not good for anyone on cholesterol or certain cardiovascular meds as it decreases the potency of the drug. So if you have those, please refine yourself from having starfruit. ❤

Pineapple Crochet Amigurumi

Last few weeks I was busy making some Malaysian tropical fruits amigurumi for a project. I'll be posting lotsa colourful fruits.

Let's start with the beautiful Pineapple aka nanas🍍🍍🍍Scientific name: Ananas comosus.

It's one of my fav fruit. I even created a pineapple knive that eventually won Sarawak state innovation competition in secondary school in 1998 😁
