Remember the crochet fingerless mitts I made before? I liked them so much I made couple more (here and here). They are so easy but really fun to make, and you can make different variations depending on buttons and charms you use. I made a tutorial for how to make crochet fingerless mitts below – hope you like it!

60’s inspired dress
I forgot that I made this dress to enter into the BERNINA “Party through the decade” competition, and never blogged about it until now.
I only had two days to work on this project after coming back with NY/Philly trip, and I’m not really satisfied with the result. I mean, I like the dress, but it didn’t really fit the contest’s theme. It says “Party”, but my dress is not party dress at all! :p Not sure what I was thinking. 🙂
I think BurdaStyle mentioned that the level of the projects were really high this time, and I must agree. I really enjoyed browsing through other people’s projects, and I was amazed with their creativity, how they put photos together etc.
This was my inspiration board when I worked on the dress.
I had bell sleeves, A line tunic type shape, white/cream lace, and big pockets in mind. I lost all the sources of the images below..I’m sorry. I think they were all from some etsy shops.
22 weeks – vegi soup
22 weeks! a week has gone by so quick as we approach the end of the year. I can’t believe we are just a week away from Christmas.
Before I got pregnant, I never really wore tunic type dresses. I preferred a style with waist cinched. But when I saw this tunic dress with cute crochet detail for mere 300 yen(3 bucks!) at a thrift store, I had to take it home with me. It’s so comfortable, and great for daily wear with warm leggings(maternity leggings! oh boy these things are super comfy), socks and boots.
I barely see my own toes because the belly gets on the way:p
It’s been so cold here lately – it has not snowed yet, but really cools down in the morning and night. I’ve been making a lot of vegetable soups to warm myself up. This one above is my favorite. I heard the recipe on radio, but ended up modifying a lot.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
– half a Daikon (Japanese radish)
– some spinach
– 1 vegetable stock cube
– 1 table spoon of soy sauce
– 1-2 umeboshi (Japanese salted plum)
– 600ml water
– salt and pepper
Direction:
– grind half of Daikon, and cut up the rest to 5mm cubes
– add all the ingredients to pot, bring it to boil
That’s it! So easy and spinach has a lot of folic acid you need for the baby<3 You can add carrots or tofu if you'd like.
