I knit!
I am so proud of myself! I just learned knitting few days ago and almost gave up when I couldn’t even cast and stitch the first row! But luckily, my son told me, ” try again and again until you get it.” I finally got it after trying more than 20 times. Thank you baby, you’re my motivator!
Here’s the result:
I made the button out of clay and colored it using acrylic paint!

Ah cool! You can knit? I don’t even know how to knit. Maybe you should take commission to do phone cover. Right? right? hehehe 😀

Thanks Nick! I would’ve stopped trying too if it wasn’t for Yassin.
emila
Thanks James! I guess determination wins. We should never quit without trying hard.
emila
Thank you Marzie! Haha Yassin always give me good advice, there were few times when I got so mad caught up in the traffic jam, he would advice me, “be patient, Ibu. We will slowly get there, see the cars are all moving, it’s not that bad, right?”
emila
Thanks, will do it soon!
emila

That is so cute and I really love the button! How do you make a button from clay? Is it a special kind of clay that you purchase or just any old clay?
pupu
Oh sure sure.. i would love to have one for myself.. :D.. I’m waiting~
Nessa
Emila, you’re very gifted. I can’t knit, I can’t draw, I can’t paint… 🙁 I should’ve learned from my mom, she was a good knitter…
Genie Princess
