Crochet-Along: Cowl... FINISHED!

Remember this cowl I was working on for Rachel's Crochet-Along at Maybe Matilda?

Well... I finished it! :)

When I started working on this project, I had no idea what a cowl was for. I thought it was just decorative. I didn't know how it was supposed to keep you warm because it pretty much just covers your neck. As I was taking pictures earlier... I was sweating! So yeah, it does keep you warm. Hot, if you're in the Pacific. In spite of the cold weather brought by the two typhoons that hit us recently, it's still too hot for scarves and cowls. I still like it though. And I can use it inside the office, where, for some reason, it gets unbearably cold sometimes. Yes... inside. Or maybe give it to my sister... she has been asking for it since she saw me making it. We'll see.

Oh and um... in case you noticed... yep, I was a big Titanic, the movie, fan. And I will not be lying when I saw I must have seen it around 30 times already.

Go ahead, laugh... gag... and pity my husband (he complains everytime he sees me watching it AGAIN) ;)

Friday Photos - The Dizzy Star

These are Christmas lights:

...taken with slow shutter speed. I don't know the exact settings but from what little I could understand of my husband's explanation, you set your shutter speed, and then click, and move the camera around slowly. And you get this effect. Makes sense? :-/

We have several of this photos because my husband had fun taking them. This is just one of them. Interesting isn't it?

Matching Dresses

Remember the Anna Dress I made for my daughter? Well... I made another one.

  

For her doll :) She doesn't have a name. Andrea just calls her 'Baby Doll'. 

A closer look.

The buttons in front are just aesthetic. The opening is actually at the back. The back opens from top to bottom and I used Velcro on both sides to close it.
