Circle Motif Brooches...


Assalamualaikum everyone... I've been gone for 2 months... plus? haha... School is torture... I have been so busy with school that I have no time to continue my crochet projects. I've missed crocheting so much, my hands got itchy so the two weeks break I had from school in June I used to crochet a few pieces. Ok... I made just 5. School is just taking a huge toll out of me that I am so mentally and physically tired to do more. Most of my time I used to just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. 

Well... Enough about me...

These 3 types of brooches took me longer than usual to complete but I am happy at how they turned out. Here are some close up pictures of the 3. (I'm sorry if the pictures are a bit dark... Lighting was bad that day)


Its a bit difficult to see but this piece is actually two layers sewn together. I think it looks pretty. haha~~


I have been making many circular crochet over button brooches that this idea struck in my head. This is so simple to make that I made 3 different colours of this design. The pictures are in my phone and I have not transferred them on to my lappy so I can't show you right now. I posted them on my Instagram so you can check them out. Username for my Instagram is sakinahstarr. 
I gave this colour away though. Have to make more colours for this design. My aunts and cousins are interested in this. =B


This I made after I saw this design on Pinterest. Not exactly the same but it got me inspired to make something like it. I made this for myself initially but gave it away two weeks after its done. =D

That is all I have today.Will go MIA again, for a few more weeks only, I hope. Last lap of the school semester so I have to focus on my upcoming exams and project datelines. See you guys again soon! Assalamualaikum!

Crochet Violet Brooches


Hello everyone.... I'm back with these two pieces I've made over the holidays. Again they're brooches I made to sell. Not as nice as I saw on Pinterest but still a good try for my first crochet violets. Took me 30 minutes to complete one of these violets. More pictures once I've perfected this.

It has been so long since I've grabbed my needle and made something new. I miss it so but have been so very busy ever since school started for me. The workload this semester has been excruciatingly huge. The boxes of yarn under my bed have been collecting so much dust. I hope to be able to make something soon. Anyhoo... That is all I have for now... Will upload as soon as I made more during my free time. Toodles!

Six Petaled Crochet Flower Brooches


Hello again everyone! I'm back with two more pieces I've made over the weekends... These two are really just traditional 6 petaled flower brooches I made during my spare time. They take less than an hour to crochet and look just beautiful with the peral in the middle. They are still ownerless though I am really tempted to keep them as my own. The picture of the two flowers looked a bit lopsided. I couldn't get a good angle on the two so I just made do with this picture. I might post the pattern here in the future. Right now is time for me to hit the hay as I have school tomorrow. That's all I have for today. Till next time peeps!

Two Toned Crochet Flower Brooch


Hello everyone! I'm back with two pieces I've made over the weekend. These two were ordered by my aunt and cousin. Its slightly different from the purple one I did before in terms of the different center piece. Personally I prefer the jewels rather than the buttons but the jewels are so much harder to find than buttons here in Singapore. I have to search harder to look for it. I hope I find a shop that supplies them cheap and of good supply. That's all for today people! Toodles!

Crochet Brooch Chinese Pattern 2


Hello again everyone! I'm back to show you this piece I've made. It's supposed to be two toned as well but unfortunately, the two blues I used are almost the same shade so You probably cannot see the difference. This piece took me an hour to make. Its my first time making this pattern. My inspiration for this pattern was the Chinese Brooch I made before this. I decided to keep the petals at 6 instead of the usual 7 and I forgo the holes on the petals and decided to fill them out. Turned out better than expected.

My crochet skills have been improving and for that I am very happy and grateful. The sad thing is that school will be starting next week and I won't be able to crochet as much as I like. I would still definitely do it every night though. I can never stop crocheting. My stress reliever!

Anyway, I have completed many orders that I received last weekend. The pictures will be up soon in my next few posts. I am still struggling with crochet Bows. It is so difficult making them without a pattern but I love to try without referring to any patterns. Gives me great confidence when I succeed. I will never give up. Hope I master it soon.

That is all I have for now. Will post more tomorrow I think if I find the time. See ya!
