Welcoming The Year 2009

First of all, Happy New Year everyone :) I am never one to write new year’s resolution. Never have the habit and I don’t thnk I’ll start very soon either. For something more interesting and since this is the first post for the year 2009, I’m pretty happy to show you the first FO of the year.

Frock Camisole

Pattern: Frock Camisole by Katie Himmelberg
Yarn: 5 skeins of Spotlight Basics Yarn Bee Article #143, Down to Earth 50/50 Cotton Soy
Needles: 4.5 mm

Since it’s summer here now and the weather has been pretty hot the past few days, a tank top is perfectly suitable for this season. This camisole only cost me $9.95 as I bought the yarn when it’s on sale :lol: To be honest, I’m actually quite surprise with the quality of this yarn. It has a really nice drape too. Overall, I’m very happy with this camisole although the stockinette stitch did bore me after some time.

I am never a huge fan of black colour. You will hardly find much black attire in my wardrobe at all :roll: . The only reasons I do have a few pairs of black pants, black skirts, and black heels are mainly for work purposes. So here’s a pair of my black heels that I bought just for work. It’s pretty comfortable since it’s a Diana Ferrari.

So, how is your wardrobe like? Does it have lots of blacks and whites or very colourful? I’m sure you can tell by now that mine is definitely very colourful :razz:

Lady In Red

Finally I have another FO to show!! This took me more than two weeks and just in time for Christmas too!!! Don’t you think I look very Christmassy too? :wink: I really love the colour of this yarn as it’s such a pretty red too!! I can hear the song “Lady in Red” in the background. Can you hear that? :razz:

Bonsai Tunic

Pattern: Bonsai Tunic by Norah Gaughan
Yarn: 8 balls of Moda Vera Bamboo/Cotton
Needles: 4 mm and 4.5 mm

Anyway, here’s a pair of my favourite shoes. I know it looks old and dirty. That’s because I have had this pair of chucks for more than 3 years now and I’ve really worn it out!! There are also some bite marks on it too!! One of the shoes even have bits of its tongue chewed off!! :shock: However, this is definitely one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have and I bet it will still last me for quite awhile. Do you have a favourite pair of shoes that you wore it to death?

Lastly, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Christmas Presents

Tuesday is Shoesday

Now I have something to confess. I’ve been following Rose Red’s blog for quite some time and I always look forward to her posts, especially on Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Because, Tuesday is for Shoesday!!! I’m sure that many of you who are close to me knows that I do have a bit of a shoe fetish :oops: . Well, of course I won’t be able to post every single Tuesday because I don’t think I have that many shoes to last every single Tuesday although I secretly do wish for that to happen some day?? :roll: Now, the first pair of shoes I feature was bought sometime earlier this year from Vincci, in Malaysia. I love shoes from Vincci because they’re pretty, comfy and most importantly, cheap cheap cheap!!! Each time I go back to Malaysia, I’d probably buy at least 3-4 pairs of heels from Vincci :cool: . If anyone wants to buy me shoes from Vincci, I’m a size 7 :mrgreen: !!!

Next, Christmas has come early for me this year. Hehehehe. Oh well, I bought some yarns, again :roll: . Erm, they’re on sale so it really is a good bargain!! Take for example, the Down to Earth 50/50 Cotton/Soy Yarns (cotton/soy) from Spotlight are only $1.99 each as they’re 50% off and I couldn’t resist placing my 2nd order for Bendigo Woollen Mills yarns on their last day of sale :lol: . I got myself 2 skeins of their Alpaca in Prism and 1 skein of Cotton 8 Ply in Lilac, although sadly they gave me four 50g skeins instead of one 200g skein. Lastly, they’re Christmas presents that I bought for myself!! :mrgreen:

By the way, can you see my little Christmas tree? Hehehe. I know it’s tiny but hey, it’s still a Christmas tree!! :razz:
