I used to wonder what my niche really is when it comes to crocheting. I love making amigurumis, I also love crocheting accessories like earrings, I've also entered the realm of home decors. But so far, I've crocheted a lot more wearables than I planned or expected. My daughter has been my consistent model/endorser of my crochet kiddie wearables.

My daughter's first language is English. My intention was for her to learn English first, teach her to read and write in English, then once she's fluent in both written and spoken English, I'll teach her how to speak Tagalog. I have my reasons. The first one being I did not want her to pick up any Tagalog curse words (which is quite commonly heard wherever we go in the country). Secondly, most of the lessons and readings we have are in English (Math, Science, History, Literature). I figured it will be a lot easier that she learns English first, then Tagalog second.

It has been a while, I feel like I can't even remember how to start creating a post. My life has been a little bit too busy these past few months I had to go on hibernation from almost all of my Hive activities. I felt like I have been trying to do so many things all at the same time, my whole being was aching for some rest. But things still need to get done and they need to get done right so I embodied the word focus for the last quarter.

As a crocheter mom, one of my constant "clients" is my daughter who uses my crochet books as her catalogues. She has requested a whole set of crochet zookeepers last year. Then she requested some vests and scarves and crocheted socks. A lot of her plushie toys were crocheted as well.

Last Sunday was Fathers' day and of course, my daughter naturally wanted to gift her dad something. She decided she wanted to make a card like the one we saw in one of those artsy videos we watched. So before Sunday came, we had an arts amd crafts day for our homeschoolimg journey.

June 12th is celebrated as Philippine Independence day. Although this is not really the day the country did not literally freed itself from its colonizers, this is commemorated as the day that the Philippine flag was first raised as a way to prove to the Spaniards that we can govern ourselves and deserve to be recognized as a sovereign country. Although a lot of things happened after this event in 1898, this day is celebrated and recognized in schools by way of displaying the Philippine national flag in establishments. We in our household had a little Independence Day art activity.
