Great evening! It's weekend again! Seems like the days are passing real fast. It feels like it's going to be Christmas again in the next day. I can see more busy days ahead. How I miss the old times...
Okay, I'm done reminiscing.... T _ T
You know what? Thinking about how long and how far have I been crocheting, I've already collected some funny and complimenting experiences because of that. Compliments like "I like your work! Why don't you try selling some?" and " Can you make something for me like what you did? It's beautiful!" It feels so comforting hearing those kinds of words from someone you know or even from a stranger. They gave me the courage to share my Facebook Page and to make it public. I also had the confidence to consult my fellow Filipino crocheters about the advices they could give me in order to improve my skill. I feel proud of my works and I got the chance to show them off knowing that they are going to appreciate what I'm doing.
Hmm.... The best compliment I ever received is from a fellow Filipino crocheter ^^ She said "You're already a good crocheter..." When I always thought that I am still a beginner. That comment made me realized that I have gone far enough to do such crochet business. And I must proclaim that I am good crocheter myself! I began accepting customized order. Sometimes I feel unsure about some orders because I don't know if I can make exactly the same as they wish. But I take them and put myself in a challenge. Gladly, I always meet the customers' satisfaction ^^
Another memorable experience because of crochet. My mother and I were falling in line to get my NBI clearance. There was this woman in late 30's I guess who's behind us. She started talking to us to ease the boredom while falling in line when she suddenly noticed the bag I'm carrying. She said " Your bag is beautiful. Where did you buy that?" I said " I just made it. It's what keeping me busy while staying at home"
Then she faced my mother and said " You know, your daughter will be a good wife someday because she works neatly" We just smiled after hearing what she had said.
Well, maybe my parents don't have to worry when I get married ^^ I'm going to be a good wife and mother. I think, crocheting is one of the best ways to mold your personality in terms of being a good wife and mother. Crocheting takes patience, being detail-oriented and working orderly same with building a family. Now, I wanna ask my mother if she would allow me to get married when time comes ^^
Upon remembering those moments, I just can't stop myself from smiling. I hope that I'll continue receiving such spirit-lifting words. And for that I'll just keep on making more out of crochet!
