  I started crocheting again. Only because I got reminded of it when we took part in a Craft fair last weekend. Made friends with a lady who crochets hats, blankets and such to sell.

  Since I'm between jobs, and because of the green movement afoot here, I've started making grocery bags out of pretty fabric. Happily, I sold 12 bags over the weekend. I've decided to make more for the next craft fair. Wish me luck!

  Wah!  That's quite a number of bags you sold!  Congrats!  It shows how good your handiwork is, to have people appreciate it enough to buy!

  *Bump*

  I did this portrait of a friend over the weekend. It's by no means perfect (especially when put alongside the original photo, as I did in my school's student forum, and my schoolmates say some proportions are out) but I'd like to see how it fares on its own.
