A super fun day volunteering @ Serangoon NLB

In support of anything handmade and especially when it comes to teaching youngsters about handmade, we decided to volunteer for Fictive Fingers; 2 homegrown crafters/sisters (just like us!) who have been featured a few times in the local papers for their handmade crafts in textile prints and hand stamps. (Hint** WE LOVE their stuff! ;))

For 2 hours, Aisah and myself, along with 5 or 6 other volunteers, taught some 6-12 yrs old children at the Serangoon Library about making their own hand stamps and most importantly, the safety while making their their own designed hand stamps!

The event was organised by NLB and some 30-35 kids who pre-registered, popped up to learn and handmade their own stamps while parents get some free-time reading (or shopping)! How cool is that!

The next events will happen this coming Sunday, at AMK Library, 2-4pm. I think I will bring my Princess Elli.

Our first DIY felt workshop!

It was a good day. We started putting the things we prepared for the felt workshop the night before. We were so thrilled and was going "hopefully everything will go smoothly the next day" and then going what-ifs! Everything went as planned (thank god) and our wonderful participants were very cool and attentive, totally a different experience from teaching the kids at TKPS. I must say that teaching adults are way easier ;p We will definitely have more workshops in future. Its so fun to find like-minded people in the workshop and to share their experiences with us! Yey, support handmade!

So these are pictures we took during the workshop.

Ps: And we even got the chance to taste the heavenly red velvet made by Shafiah, from Bebebows. It was something that i could not resist from eating just one cupcake! I have to stress on it again on how delicious it was! Loveeee it! 

Ok so yeah! Enjoy:)

One Fun Day at TKPS

Many thanks to TKPS teachers especially our sister, Cikgu Muli, and staff for the warmest welcome & loving we received during our one day sale at their staff room.

On days like this, we feel so loved and appreciated. In the handmade world, especially in Singapore, handmade creations are sadly not appreciated as much as in the States or Europe.

SO...many many thanks to ALL TKPS teachers who have supported us greatly with open arms (and pockets ;p) My sister, Aisah and I 'heart' you guys!

Here's some pics for us all ;)

Pushcart at Meridian Junior College

So the day that we waited for is finally here!!

Right now we are here at the school and I have to say that the crowd weren't fun at all! Perhaps JC kids are not 'flower' material! Nonetheless, we had a good learning experience and can now strike off JC on our list of future events.. Or maybe other JC kids are not as bad?

We always have fun at the secondary schools during the brownies and girl guides day!

We are having another booth in April at TKPS and will see how it goes.

But I do like our pushcart here at MJC.
