Another 2 tops made

Do you see a "2-in-1" again??
A dress for a few months' old baby ......or a top for a 2yo little sweetie!






A little top for a little lady!






Just for you, Lisa!
These are the closed-up of the edges and the stitch pattern. I didn't write down the pattern. If you look closely, you'll know how to do it.

Mystifying Chinese Performance

The Dance of Goddess with Thousand Hands
A fascinating dance performance!!
This is really good... combines body movements and illusions to create a spectacular performance.
Apparently these dancers are all hearing impaired.

4-in-one baby/toddler's top

Look at what I just made........
It can be worn by a 1 yo baby girl as well as a 3-4 yo toddler.

I spent 2 days to crochet this top. I will start to do another one later today.
Just hope that I can have 3 more made before 8th of July and add these to my donation to the school fund.

I have 2 CALs in 2 different groups at the moment. I hope list moms Gaelene and Christy won't mind that I will continue their CALs only when I finish these baby tops.... next week.
In fact, I have finished part 3 of Christy's CAL.



It can be worn as a skirt by a little girl.....

A tube-top for a young lady.......

This is a bare-back top for a 1 yo. The stripes are tied at the back of neck.



This suits a 3yr-old little girl .

So...... can I say it is "4-in-one"?? LOL!

Believe It or Not!!----A Plane Boat!

It's a plane, it's a boat, it's a muffin.

Canstruction - Can Art

Pam sent an email about "Canstuction" to Crazyladyshouseholderhints today. I remember I've got this from Gaelene a few months ago.

Below are the amazing photots Gaelene sent.....(plus a few which I found online)

Architect and engineers compete to see whose team can build the most spectacular structure using little more than cans of food at Canstruction, the 13th annual NYC Design and Build competition in New York.

Ocean Dome, the world's only indoor beach

Imagine a beach where the sky is always blue, it's never too hot or cold, the water isn't filled with salt and pollution, and the surf is always perfect - welcome to Ocean Dome, the world's only indoor beach.

Ocean Dome is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest indoor water park.








When the roof is closed, you still get blue sky and puffy white clouds .







so the SURF'S UP . . .rain or shine!



Ocean Dome has its own flame-spitting volcano, crushed white marble "sand", and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof, providing a permanently blue sky. Temperature, wind and humidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe "sea-side" experience. Every hour, the volcano erupts and the hi-tech wave machines start up, starting a few minutes of sanitized surfing. Entrance cost is US $50 per person, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 meters away.
The roof is retractable .

The Great Indoors

thanks to Pat who sent me this via email today.

All done!

All these crocheted crafts are waiting to be collected by my friend, YK from Penang Island(a northern state in Malaysia)today.

I include theSpiderman Afghan and the Baby Sweater which I made 2 months ago.
Not sure people will like them but just give it a try.

I have crocheted a shrug for YK. She has no idea about this and it will be a surprise for her.
Pls scroll down~~~~~ to take a look at Jamie modelling this shrug .








Thanks to Eva B.Lunde,the designer of the Star Flower Bookmark .I have got her permission to make and sell her bookmark for charity.

Below is her pattern.... Many friends were asking for it:
Star Flower Bookmark


The Ladybug bookmark and the Star Flower bookmark will appear in the Crochet Pattern A Day 2007 Calendar.




Heart Bookmark
Apple Bookmark

I made only one apple bookmark because dd Jamie says it looks like a cherry instead of apple!!
Oh Jeez

I followed the pineapple pattern from here...
Pineapple Bookmark



"Sunflower" bookmark.



"Eastern Star" Bookmark


The "Sunflower" and "Eastern Star" motif pattern is from the "Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting and Crochet Stitches" by Reader's Digest.


When a flower motif is made, I added the marker by making 50 ch and sl st back to the flower and then make small tassel and attach to bottom end of the marker.



This is my own design. It's just a very simple and easy one.
Cover Up



Can't remember where I got this pattern from. Will post the pattern later.....





This is the shrug I made specially for YK . The girl modelling it is my dd Jamie.
