Increase your blog traffic via Pinterest

Hello there, how is your day? Recently, I 've been very busy with life outside this caber world. I had my job replacement in new place, moving back to my hometown where near my new working station, busy with form and document and also my baby is growing bigger and bigger inside me. I get tired very quickly and less motivation to blog. Although there were many things in my life that I can blog about.

Back to the topic above,

For some bloggers, blog traffic is very important as they are collecting unique visit or unique click from visitors. As I know, many famous bloggers are earning some money by putting up advertisements in their blog. Some bloggers are even a full-time blogger and make some earning by blogging. They are always full of ideas and new things to blog about. I believe they did their job well and a lot of survey had done before they post out their post. It is not easy to make an informative post. We can't just post anything we like and expect it to me informative and useful to our readers.

Recently, I didn't update my blog, but to my surprise there are still readers that drop by and read my blog. I wonder where and how they found my blog. According to the traffic source provided by blogger stat, most of my readers came from Pinterest.

By that time, I don't have Pinterest account and I wonder how they found me through Pinterest.

I did some research and track the link that brought readers to my blog. To my surprise, one of my picture had been pin into Pinterest and I didn't notice it. See how it been pin by other and how it been repinned by other that like the picture. I feel so honor that someone out there really like my crochet product.

Arigurumi Bunny Rabbit - Mochi (Part 2)

Hi, welcome back to visit Mochi again. So this is the Part 2 where some nice photos had been taken last week and now it is out here to show everyone. Part 1 is simply about where I found Mochi's pattern and a link to her blog and her pattern.

I picked a day for snapping good picture of Mochi where there were enough sunshine got get good picture. I love bringing out my arigurumi doll for outdoor pictures. Their colour contrast with the nature so well.

Let's have some pictures do the story.

I was bringing Mochi to school that day. Mochi was kinda excited..Haha..Let's snap a picture first before heading off. 

Mochi picked a seat just in front of the front mirror of my car, so he can get all the view he want. *Sorry the front mirror of my car was kinda dirty that day* 

This is Mochi sitting on my office desk. Mochi is kinda small, he is smaller than my candy can. But, Mochi can sit by himself. See, because he got a bunny bob tail and that support him to sit properly.

Oh, what a cute little bob tail.

Then, I decided to let Mochi outdoor to get mixed with the sun, flowers and plant. See how the yellow flowers contrast with Mochi so well. I like this picture very much.

Mochi on the branches among the bushes. I like how Mochi looked so relax sitting there. I wish I can shrink into his size and sit there together with Mochi.

This one is nice too. I put this picture at the top as header for this topic. Mochi is totally stand out in this picture.

After school, we had some walk at my back yard. Suprisingly, we found a melon growing without our notice. Hope it turn out big and nice for my soup later..Yeah!

Sunset..

Mochi going back into my room and chill with his friend Pegu.

Thanks for dropping by.

Have a nice day and hope you enjoy the pictures.

Arigurumi Bunny Rabbit - Mochi (Part 1)

So,what is my mini project? By the small little foot I posted in my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, I guess it is hard to actually guess what is it. Here is the sneak-peek that I posted that day.

Lousy tipper I am, me myself cannot guess what is it. Haha..Anyway, it is done by now and I am posting it out then.

By the way, hello all peepers who drop by and have a look at my Mochi.  

Mochi The Bunny Rabbit is actually designed and pattern written by Amy in Little Muggles. I was blog-walking that day and found this cute little rabbit. Although my craft is not so cute compare to the original product, but I believe every crochet arigurumi has its own identity. So, carry on, I will make it into a key-chain and chain it to my travelling bag. Mochi will go everywhere I go.

This is the PDF that I download from Little Muggles, it is so neat and colourful. It makes me can't wait to second to pick up my crochet needle and start crochet straight away.

I started with it head and attached the ears. Is funny that my bunny head is kinda sharp and look like a bun head here. I thought adding up the ears will make it look better. Its seem like bunny bun head look. Hahaha...

Then I continued with it body. It is not tricky to have half body white and half pink. Just change yarn colour in the middle of crochet. But, yes, at first will be a bit hard to change yarn if you are not use to it. Well, practice make perfect, right?

Then finish up its arms and legs and also don't forget it tiny tail too. Sewing the small tiny arms, legs and tail to the body is not easy. There were few times that I almost poke myself. Better be careful when sewing it. About the eyes, I don't really know where to find the round safety eyes for small toys. Never seen it else where here, so i just sew 2 black dots as bunny eyes. Then give him a smily mouth. 

Mochi in the pattern picture has a bow ribbon around its neck. Staring at my Mochi, I think I should find him a nice ribbon too. A pink ribbon maybe, haha. Mochi looks naked without a ribbon cover its neck. Haha..

Here is the back of naked Mochi. 

Tomorrow, after getting him a ribbon, Mochi will having another photo shoot session for my blog. I can't wait for Mochi to get its ribbon and having fun taking pictures of him.

Thanks for reading. Stay tune for the Part 2 where fun begin.

Blue Heart~

Hello there, welcome to blogwalk my blog (~^.^~). How's your day?

Argh~finally!I had done myself a heart shape amigurumi. While looking at the instructions given for making the heart, I was, wow so complicated. Today is a good Saturday, the weather is not so hot. I didn't feel like wanna do other things. So, i decided to give it a try.

But first,I wanna thank Jane at Free Amigurumi Patterns for sharing this pattern. I had download it long time ago yet no time to crochet it. Looking at others heart amigurumi, I am so jealous and envy. I want a heart also. The massive crochet process started! Bring out the yarn rolls and start to pick the colour. I wanna make a red heart but sadly, I am out of red yarn!!!!Oh no ~ a heart that not red in colour can't consider a loving heart amigurumi. I'm so not happy about it.

I had decided to make myself a Love heart today, so by hook or by crook, I wanna make it today. In my mind, flashing by all the colour of heart that is possible. I picked light blue! Blue represent calm and relaxing, maybe that fix my mood and it is an instinctive pick.

It took me 4 hours to finish it. I did make some mistakes that lead me to undo the yarn and re-crochet in the correct count. Yeah, this required patient with a lot of counting to do.

And, here is the final product!!

A handful of Love

~ Rainbow Crochet Bag ~

Hi there..Thanks for stopping by and view my blog. 
Today, i wanna share about my crochet bag with the theme rainbow. I was inspired by Alice from Crochet with Raymond Blog. She did really great job in choosing and matching colours. Those beautiful colours are irresistible! 
So, i made up my mind to make myself something very colourful.


Every time when i went shopping, i felt my handbag was so heavy. Sometimes i felt just wanna ditch it away..=.='' Sometimes?No,actually is all the time. Why my handbag was so heavy? Because of its material maybe? Or maybe because i love to throw everything into my bag..Hah ha!


End up, i made a handbag just big enough for me to put in my coin purse, wallet and handphone. Tada! A rainbow crochet handbag. 

It is a simple but colourful bag. Nothing special accept its colours..Huhuhu..

My dear decided to help me take some candid photos for me to put it on my blog. I'm so happy to hear that. To my surprise, he made me to be the bag model..Haha..

From this picture, you can see how small that bag is actually. Can you imagine my wallet, coin purse and handphone in it? Yet, there still some space for tissue and small comb and bla bla bla...

I like it so much. The bag is so handy.

Here some more pictures of my beloved bag indoor and outdoor.

Enjoy~

Hope you like it..Peace out..Hee hee..
