Woo Hoo Picard is back! This series is not quite like Star Trek Voyager but it’s nice to see Jean Luc again and Data! I made this collection back when I started watching that Star Trek series and it was one of my simpler designs when I used to make everything as seamless as possible.

Now this was probably the most recent thing I made of the TNG series. There was quite a bit of trial and error but it was all in good fun. Of course I started off with the iconic saucer and initially tried single crochet rounds - ended up looking more like an octagon. Then I tried making double crochet rounds and that turned out more satisfactory.

It’s always the season of love right? Hope you liked my Peter and Jane Patterns on a bench. Decided to release my Cindy Bear pattern for free this month! She works up pretty and pretty fast too with her skirt and flower. The head and body are continuous, but the detailing does include some attachments!

I’m thrilled to be part of this FREE virtual summit organised by Rebecca Page! It’s my first time and I’m excited to let you know what is included and what I have contributed too!

To make my amigurumi sets more interactive for kids, I have been using some tiny magnets inside. I know there are some hang-ups with using magnets when kids are playing but so far my preschooler seems to be loving it.

Or maybe I should name them Peter and Jane on a bench collection :). I’m really excited about this set because I started incorporating all kinds of new techniques inside for the limbs and facial head shape. I made them in 3 separate components including the bench and yessss I did incorporate magnets as well, which I will elaborate on more in my next post.

To celebrate Chinese New Year arriving soon…. make sure you get your ang baos ready, there are some free printable ones here in case you are short :) Also, remember to tell your little ones about how some of the rituals performed during CNY was inspired by some Chinese legends with this short colouring book.

I need pattern testers again! This time it is for Easter and it has pastel colours!. To help me with this set, I will need the whole set to be completed, which consists of 3 parts.

If you are like me and always trying to squeeze in time to crochet but you have little ones toddling around, then it can sometimes be a challenge to pick up the hook. The wonderful thing about crocheting is that it is very portable, of course this depends on the number of colours you choose to use in your final crochet projects.

I decided since I was going to release this Lion Dance Troupe just before Chinese New Year this year, just for fun I decided to come up with an ang bao design for Pocket Yarnlings!

So I was thinking about releasing one pattern for free this month and since it was the year of the Tiger, I thought why not Tigger? Besides, it also happens to be Winnie the Pooh Day!

I made this little set back in 2020 actually and I never got down to penning into a pattern and releasing but since Chinese New Year is on its way… I have decided to package it up properly and release it! It is made up of 2 boys, 1 lion, 30 pages and 140 images to help you make this set!

Another awesome bundle for Valentine’s Day guys and I’m really happy with my contribution this time and hope you do too. Needless to say, there are a few wonderful couples inside including mine so see if you can guess which one is by me!

My latest collection featuring a Lion Dance Troupe is pretty meaningful for me and I had a couple of reasons to make it back in 2020. After getting down to putting the pattern together and all the pictures, I decided it’s in time to release for Chinese New Year!

So I was inspired to write this post after I read something about the Montessori way of getting your kids to clear up after themselves and when I saw it, I was like wait a minute, I’m doing most of that already and I didn’t know others had made it into a system. Most, if not all the suggestions I made below I have tried and tested with my daughter and it seems to work so far (cross fingers) so go ahead and see if you can implement them!

So my aunt got my daughter a Chinese Book which taught about the Story of ‘Nian’ and she absolutely loves that short story so I decided to make a little colouring book with the story in English!

As a follow-up to my previous post I did last last year, which I felt was something great for me to look back and reflect upon. This year, I actually felt I had expanded on a lot of things that I was just starting out in 2020, mostly for Pocket Yarnlings. Remember to read until the end to get the free self-care challenge printable!

Release of Fantasy Folks collection!

Making facial hair is a great way to add detailing to a face. There are many different ways to make moustaches, beards or both of them combined. Using simple yarn to sew on is the easiest. This time, I’ll be showing how to crochet it!

This time, it’s a slightly different pattern with my old Wizard! Ok, so this was an older form of Gandalf that I made, which was simpler to crochet but it does have some assembling components. If you missed out on my free Hobbit pattern, it’s right here to follow! I did update my Gandalf this round so he looks slightly different at the end, but this version is pretty cute and endearing too :).
