33rd Craft Activity (28th Apr - 11th May 2016)

Mothers are the greatest human being in the world...they can be a daughter, a wife, a mom, chef, teacher, chauffeur, counsellor, friend, domestic helper aka cleaner, etc etc etc...all at the same time!

I always wonder how women manage it all until I became mom myself...😂😂😂

So, for this year's Mothers Day, we teach kids to make something useful for mommy dearest!

Each set of coaster comes with a 3D card handmade by the kids themselves...there are 4 designs for them to choose...

Plus, to celebrate the sacrifices of the most beautiful woman on the world, we give away a stalk of crochet flower, a flower keychain/bag charm, and a flower magnet...each of it is carefully hand crafted with lots of TLC...

And to appreciate the great effort of my Instructors, each of them get this to give to their mom...a bouquet of flower & a flower magnet... Each bouquet is unique on its own...

And... I also made half dozen bouquet for my mom too! 😍😍😍

TQ Michelle, for being our 100th fan!

Today, we sent a surprise gift to our 100th fan, Michelle.

She became our 100th fan on our Fb Page last month! To many, 100 is a small number, but for us, it is a great milestone! Our next target is 200! And, we will celebrate it with a surprise gift as well! :)

We were so busy that we only managed to deliver the surprise to her today. Really hope she loves it!

Here's what we prepared:

A Rilakkuma mobile phone accessory. I chose Rilakkuma because she has this character on her FB account...:) let's hope I didn't make a mistake!

No, the phone is not a gift...lol but it is a comparison of the plush.

Smaller than what I usually make...

And, a set of Daisy Coasters for her lovely home...

Hope you like them as much as we do, Michelle! Thanks for being our fan! :D

Our 1st Ever Xmas Bazaar

Yesterday was our 1st ever Xmas Bazaar & it was held at one of the reputable International Schools in PJ area. I was privileged enough to have the honor to participate in the bazaar.

This is ME at the bazaar venue, setting up the table...:D

When the bazaar started, it was a little overwhelmed as many kids & adults were gathering at the table looking at these...So, these cuties no doubt were my hot seller! I sold most of it...if I knew, I'd made more of these...

I used the flower magnets as part of the decorations for the Friendship Flower Fairies Collection as well as the Party Princesses Collection, Green felt as the grass...lol

Response for Cars were so-so. The big Airplane is not appealing (remind myself to research more on boys version of crochet items), but the airplane keychains & magnets were sellable.

My coasters were my no sale items...note to myself to never EVER make coasters when participating in event relating to kids...:D

Overall, the bazaar is a success for me. Well, I can't compare as I have no experience in bazaar sales before (expect the time that I moonlight for few months for a friend, but I don't do setup. I just sell. The items are not even made by me!)

Lots of lesson learnt...lol

My biggest satisfaction is when all of them (customers & admirers) mentioned that the stuffs are so cute. Of course, not all admirers bought from me as some have budget constraint (they are mostly kids...lol) i have kids coming back & forth looking, playing & admiring the dolls & get frustrated as they didn't have enough cash to buy...some smaller kids were even pestering & 'forcing' the parents to buy...sweet memory...

I'd love to do more bazaar in the future too! :D

Mom & Daughter Matching Bags

This is one of the very 1st bag that I've crocheted. Ordered by 1 of my dear friend...she wanted a matching Yellow bag for herself & her daughter but do not wish to buy those off the shelf as she wanted something unique...

So, I have crocheted this for her...glad that she loved it...

For mommy...the flower charm is removable & the yellow flower is removable too! This is to ensure the owner can redesign the bag according to her mood every time she uses the bag. Then, you can have 1 bag but few designs...cool, isn't it?

For daughter...the flower charm is removable as well.

It wasn't easy to come up with the design but I think I managed to get it done up to my expectation. Mind you, I'm a perfectionist...if things are not up to my expectation, i don't display or sell it...:)

Anyway, according to my dear friend, here's what she loved about her bag...this is attached to the zipper...it's my signature design...:)

And what she loved about her daughter's 1...the butterfly button 'flying' towards the flower charm...lol

After making her bag, the inspiration just flew in & I had to make a few more! I will share it out when it is done...:)
