New crochet orchid design: Inspired from the Cattleya

I've did this new design around end of last year. Inspired from an cattleya orchid I saw at the MAHA expo, Serdang, where many orchid plants was on sale. I did several trial with different type of yarn with the designs too. Check out some of the orchid photos I took at MAHA and also my new orchid design. 

Here's my inspiration and my first crochet orchid design from acrylic yarn.

My 2nd & 3rd on the same orchid design but with different type of yarn. Medium weight acrylic & light weight cotton yarn.

Below are some of the orchids photos I took at MAHA last year. Aren't they pretty? =)

Orchid Garden

This was ordered by my senpai (uni senior) Kak Fit to attach on her project. She ordered the kids crochet top dress previously here.

Here's the Orchids I've made for her.

These beauties are only around 5cm in diameter which is smaller compare to my previous Orchids (7cm). She also requested some leaves with the Orchids.
I'm eager to she the outcome of her project with the Orchids =)

F'dyHana Brooch, Keychain, Strap & U-pin Orders!

I got some orders before Raya for my F'dyHana OoHana, TatyHana & also my new Orchid. =)

Intan ordered several colours of OoHana & TatyHana keychain & strap.

Sheena ordered red & black Oohana pin+brooch & a black U-pin Orchid.

Saharatulliana ordered a pink & white Orchid brooches.

My friend Taty ordered a white Orchid U-pin.

Thanks for your order! Hope you guys like the F'dyHanas =)

Experiment: My New Design - The Orchid

It struck me to crochet Orchids after I've stumbled some orchid crochet patterns on the net. I've search some photos of the real orchids & managed to design this with my crochet:

It took me around half an hour to finished one of these orchids! I love them & now I can't stop making them!

I think it would be great on a hair bun or even as a brooch.

What do you think guys?

Wavy Painter's Hat Orders

 This is my first 2 orders of my new design Wavy Painter's Hat:

This red painter's hat was ordered by Kak Lin (repeat customer). She requested white Oohana with gold button pin to attach on the hat.

This brown one was ordered by JoLynn.

Both has safely reached to their owners a couple of weeks ago. Hope they enjoy their new hats! =D

New Designs : Kids Coral Beret & Coral Beanie with Visor

This is another order that I've managed to complete during the CNY holidays. Both ordered by Azila for both of her lil princesses. It's the first time I've made a Coral Beret for kids which is slightly smaller compare to the adult size. I've also design a new beanie with visor too, Coral Beanie with visor. The Oohanas was attached permanently to the both beanies as her request. Check out the outcome:

The Coral Beret Beanie is exactly the same design that my lil sis wore in my previous post here but slightly smaller.

She said both of her girls love it. Thanks! =D

Here's a photo comparing the adult & kids size Coral Beret Beanie =)

Colourful Pink Coral Beret Beanie

A custom order by Jaclyn who wanted a Coral Beret with shades of pink. It's the first time I've mix this much colour in an adult beret beanie =). Quite challenging & fun to do. She also requested an lilac OoHana pin with turquoise acrylic beads to go with the beanie.

    Hope she'll enjoy wearing this beanie =)

Lacey Beret with Bow & Plain Beret with OoHana

This is an order from Fallahiah. A black Lacey Beret with pink bow & a Plain Beret with orange Oohana. I've changed the design a bit for the Lacey Beret. So here's the berets:

The lacey beret was adapted from Iman's lacey beret. I've made the bow slightly bigger than the normal double bow I've made previously to balance it out when it's attach on the beanie.


BTW the Bow & Oohana are pins so she can detach it whenever she wants. =)

New F'dyHana Design in the House! TatyHana

This is a new design of F'dyHana which I've made by using a technique called cro-tat. A combination of crochet & tatting technique. Normally a shuttle is use for tatting but there are several other method using needle & cro-tatting hooks. This method produces more lacey pattern compare to crochet itself. With my first attempt of cro-tat, I've made a new design F'dyHana pins. So here's the outcome:

 

I've used some vintage buttons on the F'dyHana. I just love the vintage buttons! It gives them an elegant & gorgeous look. 

I'm calling them TatyHana. I've made a bunch of it & given them all to my crafter friends =). 

What do you think about this new F'dyHana?

Mix Colour Bubble Beret Beanie

Here's an order my Adeline before the new year in December. As MFK was closed in December I started to make this beanies in January. She requested 2 custom bubble beret beanies with different colour combination, one for herself & another one for her friend. Here's the 2 completed beanies:

She ordered 2 different combination of colours, ivory white+grey & dark blue+grey with a dark blue Oohana pin. Hope that both of them will like it. =)

Happy Chinese New Year! =D

Mangosteen Craze: Last Custom Order of the Year 2010

I kept this post for quite sometime. The last custom made order that I've received for 2010 is from a Malaysia well-known eraser carver friend Mangosteenskin. She ordered 6 Oohana pins & a custom Mangosteen theme pin. I've designed 2 mangosteen theme pins for her to pick but eventually she choose both =)

Here's the photos of her order:

As you can see she's is really crazy about mangosteen =D. It's the first time I make these type of pins & really enjoyed bling the crochet pins with beads. The beads does make them pop!

Actually when I was small, I had a bad experience being stung by 3 hornet/wasp on my head while I picking some mangosteen under a mangosteen tree at my late granpa's 'kebun' (fruit graden). I can't really remember the hospitalization or anything except crying out loud. My mum said that my head & body was puffed like a melon. Despite that I still like mangosteen! =)

I absolutely enjoyed making these pins! Thanks Mango for your order. =)

First Order for MFK Mini Bags

This first mini bags order was from my secondary schoolmate Ija. She ordered the mini bag, shell bag, 2 Oohana strap & 1 Kohana pin. Here's her order:

Thanks Ija for your order! =)

Experiment for New F'dyHana Design

I've managed to try a new design for my F'dyHana last month. This time I tried to mix my crochet with filigree. Here's the result:

I think it's more sophisticated & vintage look for F'dyHana as I've used thread for the crochet. What do you think?

Baby Lacey Beanie: New Design Baby Beanie for My Lil Niece

This is an order from my cousin wife Ina for her lovely baby daughter Keisha. She requested a white plain beanie with interchangeable Oohana, so I've design a new baby beanie with two Oohana hairclips. Here's some photo of the new baby beanie:

I made the Oohana as hairclips so that Keisha can wear it with the beanie or by itself.

You can check Keisha wearing the beanie here. =)

F'dyHana Pins Available in Tawau! 30 Roses and 30 Oohanas

This is a second order from Rahmawati. This time is a bulk order of F'dyHana pins for her sister boutique in Tawau, Sabah. It's my first bulk order where my customer will put my F'dyHanas in her sister's shop. I'm so honored! =).

Checkout The Looks Boutique here. So anyone in Tawau who want to get a F'dyHana pin, do drop by at the boutique. Here's some snapshot of the F'dyHana pins:

Ain't they just colourful? =)
Thanks Rahmawati & sis for your order!
It was really fun taking the photos for these colourful F'dyHana pins.

Baby Flower Hat & Bow Headband

An order by my colleague Aisha. She ordered a baby flower hat & a bow headband for her 4 months new born niece's 'Majlis Cukur Jambul', an event to celebrate new born into the family. So here's the photo of her order:

She requested a brown mix yarn hat with a cute tricolour OoHana. The colour patches of the mix yarn looked bigger compare to my 2nd flower hat for toddler here as the hat  is smaller.

Here's her order for a bow headband. It's the first time I make a rose pink colour band & it turned out great!

Thanks Aisha for your order =)
