I'm feeling low, so I go home and make some flowers
I've been feeling really low energy this past week. I don't know why, but all I feel is sleepy and tired all day. I have a lot of things to do, but still no energy for doing all of that. On top of that, I am really alone this week. My neighbor not really in her room for the past few days and I don't feel comfortable enough to go out and do stuff in cafe. So I decided to pack and go home.
I bought salad for my family to try. They never try proper vegetable salad that I love. I also bought myself a bowl of fruit salad. Not much, but I always bring something home with me. Turns out my dad did not like the salad, he prefer the traditional salad that Mom always make us. He said the salad dressing's have no taste at all and the vegetables taste like they have been sitting too long in the fridge. Mom eat the whole pack and said it is not really her liking, but still okay because it's vegetables after all. My brothers did not even take a bite. They stole my fruit salad instead.
The first day home, I just listen to my Mom and Dad update about everything. Closed by laughter because they forget to attend son of Dad's nephew's wedding that very day. He said it's not a big deal, because they invite Dad just because he happened to be there while they share the invitations. I eat some banana cake before bed.
Second day, I feel bored. So I work a little bit and make some crochet flowers. I want to make a flower bouquet keychains. I have a lot of one strand scrap yarns that I hoard over the years, so hopefully I can turn all of them into some cute flowers. I did try made the pattern before and it turned out so good. This time, I use smaller hook size but with the same kind of yarn and yarn weight. I used one strand of milk cotton yarn. Usually milk cotton yarn is sold in 5 strands, but I only have small amount of each color, so I split the yarn to make more product and I think the mini size is really cute as keychains. I follow this pattern to make the whole keychain:
I finished making 7 daisies. I also make a bracelet from embroidery floss. I never made this kind of bracelets before even though I really like how they shape. I never been a jewelery user, so I don't see why I would made bracelet for myself. But I really want to try something new that day so I just search some youtube videos and I like the flower pattern, so I learn how to tie some knots. I finished two bracelets that day. I follow this tutorial for the braceletes:
Third day at home, I can't really sleep. I stay up until 3 AM. I do my work a lot and also finished making the sunflowers and lavenders. I also try new bracelet pattern and finished two bracelets. I eat a lot of banana bread that day. We harvest a lot of banana, so my Mom make steamed banana bread almost everyday.
I sleep at 3 AM on forth day and woke up at 10 AM. Found out that I'm on my period that day. Mom made us some mi ayam and I eat it with chicken feet. I don't drink coffee until 7 PM. I finished making the hearts and tulips. Also finished two more bracelets that I made using old material that I have. I don't know what it's called but I remember someone told me that the yarn is leather imitation yarn. It's not that hard to work with compare to embroidery floss. It's also quicker to make because of the thickness. I made one flower pattern and one infinity pattern following this tutorial:
I also received a gift from little girl that visit my dad with her family. She gave me her hairband. It is purple hairband with a big bead on it. I told her that I have short hair so I don't use a hairband, but she insist to give me the hairband. She said, "You will never know, maybe you can use that as a bracelet first." and I thank her for that idea.
So I use that hairband as a bracelet today. I go back to my rented room this early morning. I still can't sleep, but I managed to dozed off for an hour and woke up at 3 AM, doing some work and making the wrap for the bouquet keychain. I had 4 crochet wrap finished that morning before I packed my things at 4 AM. I leave my home at 4:53 AM with my brother. He need to deliver some of our produce to the morning market, so I just tagged in. I walk a little to catch the bus and arrive at my rented room at 6 AM then bought some vegetables to cook. I eat steamed egg and corn seasoned it with leftover instant noodle seasonings as breakfast. I had my hot morning tea too.
Still feeling not that good, but better than before.
I made three more of the wraps then do the finishing touch for my keychains this evening after bought myself some good strawberry flavored ice drink.
Seven keychains and six bracelets later, I feel better. I also have steamed corn with sweetened condensed milk for dinner after almost 3 hours of blackout. It's not the healthiest dinner ever, but I like it. I don't know what to do with all of the bracelets and keychains, but at least I finished something. And feel better.
Have e good day!
