Just this morning a friend uploaded a picture of her baby girl in the tutu and baby head band i made.
It just makes me happy knowing i made someone happy too, the baby girl looks cute in it. motivates me more to do more and continue doing what i love! i was even a bit hesitant on the size because i know the little girl was just 4 months on but a bit big.. lol and i didn't have the time to measure her and mommy as well didn't give me measurements but i just based my calculations on the pictures!
have you ever done such things? like from your creations / passion you make other people happy?
it makes it all worth it right?

Hi jazel
Food! I love to cook and though it is now not a passion but I know it makes my wife happy. Many things I do today to make others happy are only for the passion of making others smile and feel happy - and worst - I know many times I make a misery of everything.
The baby in the pic - you say her baby! Now... whose baby? My comments on the baby might follow after that

you are crafty and talented and i know it's a joy to do something for others that would make them smile, feel happy, laugh or even giggle about it.
i have never made a tutu in my life. i love arts and crafts and my mom sews but has never passed the skill down to us offsprings. the creative in me is usually whipping up a snack or a meal out of seemingly nothing in the fridge/cupboard or helping out with my nieces/nephews' school projects which usually involve 10% talent, 20% resourcefulness and 70% patience and commitment. hehe sometimes we make costumes/accessories for kids to appear like a tree, a cat, an alien etc. it's fun. and yes, it makes it all worth it.

hi myles,
yes in some sense i am really that crafty, i love doing those kinds of stuff. i even got my kids old hairbands and turned it into new ones just this weekend and she started wearing it again and is loving it..
your talent in whipping up snacks can also be beneficial myles!

I saw the picture the baby is cute with the headband. Maybe it is more beautiful with the pink color which is my favorite color.
I love sewing and one of my favorite is to make bed sheets and pillow cases, I did not do it for business I just want to make and sometimes give it to a friend. I love when I saw my creation put them in their bed. And they appreciate much of my work.

btw, my talent was caregiving for elderly and disabled. but i can no longer do that as im disabled now. so now i guess its beading. a craft/hobby you might say.

You did a good job
I like headband- it looks very cute with the baby.
Well, the skirt too, I just hope the mother wear a different top to compliment with the tutu

Congratulations!
It's good that you found fulfillment in what you did. It's really something we take pride of. When we see somebody happy for our little creations. I did some accessories before that i gave out to my friends and that just made them so happy. And seeing their faces lit up were priceless.

You are so nice and i see a baby looks cute with your headband. Sometime i like to make handmade earrings and give it to my sis and her friends too. It is so nice when i complete one and see how nice it is...and more happy when they like it.
We can get happiness from simple things like that...
I love this life...

My passion is teaching especially in Math subjects. That's why i do tutorings to gradeschoolers and highschoolers when they have difficulty in understanding math subjects.

The baby looks so cute and you did a fantastic job with the tutu and head band. It is definitely worth the effort and time to put a smile on someone's face and make others happy. I try to do whatever I can to make my friends and family happy, even small things and gesture make a lot of difference...
