do you remember Piddlesworth?

Couple of years ago, I posted crochet project of panda bear named Piddlesworth and Baby Piddlesworth. I also posted this on a forum at Craftster with Baby Piddlesworth's pattern for people who's interested making one of their own.

noali made 2 adorable Baby Piddlesworth where one of it is a custom color~

I was worried if the instruction was properly informed but she said everything else went well except for the "Making into an arm(with paws)" section. I tried reading it back and I don't even understand what I wrote... haha so I'll go back to it someday and fix that instruction!!

Other than that, I'm flattered to know someone created their version of Piddlesworth. Thanks noali~

big pom-pom scarf

Few days ago I illustrated a girl and a scarf with big pom-poms. I just recently finished knitting a scarf like the image ~

I was happy the way it turned out and the selection of the yarn I used (LOOPS & THREADS; Charisma) was so soft on my skin! The pom-pom was the difficult part. I have never made a pom-pom this large so I had to be precise. Each pom-pom used 1 1/2 of yarn to make! 3 whole yarn to make 2 big pom-poms!! That's a lot!

After attaching the pieces together I was looking forward to wearing this this fall! ....I tried it on and it turned out to be the HEAVIEST scarf I ever wore.... It almost feels like wearing ball of chain on your neck!

So I have totally miscalculated how heavy 1 1/2 worth of yarn would be...I'll leave it for now and see how this goes. If it's too heavy then I'll consider trimming them to smaller size!

yummy jam

Now that I have time to cook I made pancakes and french toast for breakfast this week. I ate it with Celine and Melinda's homemade cinnamon plum jam. It was DELICIOUS!!! (Thanks you guys! I would want more of these!!)

I didn't expect the french toast to be this heavy, it lasted me whole day! I actually didn't want to eat dinner because I was still full!!
