My family knows that I don’t really have a green thumb. I’m totally not interested in gardening at all, especially weeding!!! My family came over for a visit sometime in August last year. They actually planted quite a lot of lovely flowers and a tree.

In order to proof that I’ve been putting a little bit of effort, here are two pictures of my beautiful yellow rose bush (a tiny one) and my little lemon tree. I’m very proud of them

I attended my colleague’s wedding last Saturday. On Thursday, I realised that I didn’t have a matching bag to go with my dress. I don’t like those handbags that you carry around the shoulder as I find them quite inconvenient, especially for a cocktail style dinner. I decided to whip something really quick and easy. This little pouch is knitted using two strands of yarn held together (one from Moda Vera Trinity and one from the colourmart yarn).

Pattern: Soft Drawstring Pouch from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: Moda Vera Trinity and ColourMart Silk 32/120NM DK weight
Needles: 5 mm

I improvised a little on the bag. I didn’t use the icords as per the pattern but I used ribbons instead
