Xmas Craft @ Sunway Putra Concourse

This is our concourse event @ Sunway Putra KL during Christmas time...

It was a 3 weeks events, running on weekends...

1st week, we did DIY keychain/bag charm as it is still a little early for Xmas craft...

Setup of the craft area...

Busy & attentive kids 😍😍😍

On the 2nd week, we did Santa Claus...this can be hung or stick to the wall

On 3rd week, we did Reindeer...

Too bad we didn't manage to take any photos of the 3rd week...too many kids during the craft session as it was the last weekend before Christmas...

But all in all it was a success as we always love crafts & we always look forward to seeing kids focusing in their tasks in hand!!! 

Mission accomplished! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

11th Week of Craft Activities (12th April 2015)

On week 11, we introduced Pony Beads Craft for all.

This is a really fun craft & many kids loved them, especially when they get to put their name on it.

We actually personalised the Bag Tag/Bag Charm according to the kids' name!

And, of course...all time favourite characters...

U recongnize all the princesses? :)

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

Green is the color of Balance

I have a friend who loves the color of Green. She has no idea why she loves the color though...

2 weeks back, we decided to meet up. So I made her something Green...these are my latest projects, so I just make additional for her since I don't have much time to come up with a new design (been busy fulfilling orders...LOL)

This dear friend of mine happens to be a Workaholic too, so I prepared a card for her with the following message:

Dear XXX,

Have you wondered why you love Green color so much?

The secret language of Green is Balance.

Since you devote most of your time to work & most of the time complaining that you don't have time for other things, could it be the reason why you love Green? As maybe it is trying to tell you to find some balance in your life?

I hope you like this Green bear. Her name is Balance. 

I added a Lucky Star for you. Hope it brings you luck. Plus, since a star has 5 points, it represents work, health, family, friend & self. 

With this, I hope you will be able to slow down & find some balance in all 5 areas of your life...

The doll is Jo. I dressed her in your favourite color! Much like you, Jo is hardworking, ambitious, passionate about her environment & loves power. She is one of the dolls in my latest craftwork Friendship Kokeshi Doll.

Hope you love the gift...

When I passed the gift to her & she reads the card, she laughed out loud...

But, I'm glad she loves the gift...:D

The Cute Key-chain/Bag Charm story continues...

Today when I picked up Christopher from school, he mentioned *excitedly* that it was his friend, Alya's birthday today & they had a party in the school...then came the golden request...can you prepare a present for me to give her? Hm...I guess I should expect it already...LOL...

As I mentioned in my previous blog, after several 'surprised' & last minute requests from both of my sons asking for presents, I got smart & prepared some goodies & keep so that as & when there is a last minute request like this, I can just pick & choose. All I need to do is assemble it & viola! It is ready to go...

Guess who came to the rescue this time...

It's Ms Mini Teddy Monroe! I made her last month...If you notice, I usually will make bears as I find it is cuter to give bears instead of other characters...

Now let the assembling begins! I crocheted the alphabet A just now.

Then, I prepared the card & the gift bag...

The key-chain/bag charm is done! It only took me about half an hour to crochet the alphabet & assemble everything together!

Now Ms Mini Teddy Monroe is ready to meet her new owner, Alya. happy birthday to you Alya...hope you like the present! :D

Sesame Street Challenge? Bring It On!

2 weeks ago, a friend of mine challenged me to make Elmo. She said if I can make it, she wants to buy for her colleague, who is leaving the company soon...so, I said OK...let's give it a try...and since I'm making Elmo, she said if possible, make Cookie Monster as well as her colleague is a huge Elmo & Cookie Monster fan...

So, I started to experiment Cookie Monster...it took me about 2 hours to complete it...I used my son's plush Cookie as model...

This is the completed Cookie Monster...front & rear view...

I added a tiny lil' cookie for him...

Then I proceed to make Elmo, based on my son's plush Elmo...

Of course, since I'm into making cute keychain/charm, I make these 2 cuties into what I love...& tadaa...

Notice the alphabet D on Cookie Monster? That's the new owner's initial...I added a flower to the alphabet to make it cuter...and for Elmo, I added a yellow star...so we call him Lucky Elmo...

Lucky Elmo & Baby Cookie are about 4.5in tall & they sit on my palm just nice...

I packed Lucky Elmo & Baby Cookie in a see thru pouch...

Ok, now everybody says 'cheese'...

So how? Not too bad huh? My friends love it so much...LOL...wonder if she is going to give it to her colleague or she will keep it for herself!
