An Expression of Mom's Love

Hi there,

It's the time of the year where we remember the one person who has probably had the one of the greatest influence on our lives -- MOM.
If I could make a list of all the things (big and small) which my mom has done out of her love for me, I would probably run out of paper (or in the age of technology -- memory space!).

I wish I had started crocheting when my daughter was a baby so I could make soft cuddly shoes to keep her tiny feet warm...I still do miss the feel of them and how they always smell so sweet...
So when one of my dear friends L asked me to make three matching pairs (!) I couldn't wait to get started.

Here are the pictures of the 3 pairs...I hope the little princesses who receive them find them snuggly and comfy : )

Cookies & Cream theme with wooden button

Here you can see the double-sole with contrast pattern and the family name embroidered on it.
(No getting mixed up here!) 

White and Dusky Pink theme with Rose Button

Pink! theme with Butterfly Button
(This pair was extra soft and snuggly but was a challenge to photograph...it needs a pair of feet in them...)

Once again, Happy Mothers' Day to all the mummies out their! (To mine: "I love you MOM!")

THE DMC Stranded Cotton

Hi there,

How many of you ladies remember doing cross-stitch in primary school for 'Art' lesson (especially if you were in an all-girls' school like me)? If you raised your hand and said "Me!", then you would surely remember these:

Now DMC was THE brand that all of us used and even my mother knows it. One can understand why...Look at it's beautiful colours!

In trying to compress it into one image, I've lost image quality. For a more accurate look at the colours, you can obtain a beautiful pdf colour chart at the DMC website.

The aunty at a local craft store gave me an incredulous look when I told her I was going to crochet with these. Firstly, she said "Too expensive". Secondly, it's 6-stranded... "very difficult". BUT of course I went ahead and loved the results!



Those of you who are more eagle-eyed would have realised that I used one of these on my daughter's backpack.

How would you like to use it? Would you like to choose your own colours? Let me know!
