THANK YOU!!!!!!

Finally have the time to have a short write up about the awesome craft fair organized by the Handmade Movement Singapore. It was really really awesome!!!!!! No doubt at first we were all quite demoralized by the heavy rain and I kept checking my phone on the weather report.. it says the rain will not stop the whole day and there's even thunderstorm in the afternoon :/ However, the worries were all gone when we reached fort canning. Everyone was busy putting up things, setting up the venue nicely to ensure the event will still be as good as it promised! Sure enough.. the rain did not become a big problem, instead it added more colors to the event!

Frankly speaking, this is our first time attending a craft fair AS A VENDOR, not sure what to expect but just hope to bring out our best and hopefully people can remember us :) and indeed, everyone was very warm and friendly. I made friends with other vendors, exchange name cards, share experience... talk to the customers.. even the simple gesture of someone taking away my name card makes me smile.. these are all something very very precious to me and I will never forget the experience and continue to work hard to bring out even more special handmades :)

Here are some photos at our booth.. booth 22~ so lucky.. 22 is my favourite number.. haha ^^

THANK YOU!!

Help someone a day, and you will be happier and happier all the way ^^

Handmade Movement is operated as a non-profit initiative. They are non-profit because they believe that crafting should be about more than just making money (although money is still an important consideration in supporting small indie businesses). Above all, crafting is about passion, love and community.

Like most things however, putting Handmade Movement together requires a rather hefty sum of money which the organizers (Aisah and Michelle) do not have on their own. Handmade Movement is currently 30% funded by Noise Singapore, but still have a way to go before they are able to comfortably cover all costs and have enough to roll over to fund the next fair after 19 January 2013.

This is a community project, and so you, our community, is needed, to help to make this a reality, the way it should be. 

I am really very touched by the amount of time and effort the organizers are putting in to make this possible. This is a very very meaningful event to all the craft lovers in Singapore! I hope if you can, if you love craft, if you support us and like what we do, please help a little :) Because it is the support of you makes us feel more worthwhile to continue what we like to do!

December

December is my school holiday.. my original plan was to finish making all the items which friends have ordered from me.. but but but.. I didn't expect to travel so much >.< as a result.. I.. did not really make anything up to now :(.. another main reason is that I do not have a sewing machine with me.. so I have been trying to learn some knitting from my mum and grandma.. and Gosh!!! Knitting is so much more difficult than sewing (to me).. I cannot understand it >.< but I will still try to learn..

This is what I have been trying to do.. if you have a lot of time and you dunno what to do.. learning knitting! This would take me 3 days to make -.- and I've also made a lot of knitted hearts as free gifts for the Handmade Movement Singapore at my booth.. heehee ^^

If you are interested to learn how to make this cup cozy.. I found the pattern for this at
http://www.simplynotable.com/2011/pick-a-pocket-cozies/
I personally did not follow the pattern (because I dunno how to read knitting patterns -.-) so I just show my mum the design and she automatically knows how to make it.. anyway this is a brilliant design for a tea person like me.. the small pocket is really useful. I always bring a Starbucks tumbler with me to class and my small tea bag always got lost in my huge backpack.. now they can stay happily tgt :) and I no longer need to dig for 15min in my bag trying to find my tea bag >.<

Christmas 2012

Christmas feels much more like Christmas during winter.. this might sound weird to some people because Christmas is always during winter to them. But there's no winter in Singapore so this is the first time I'm spending my Christmas in a very cold place for at least the past 7-10 years.. with all the thick winter wear, gloves, scarf, "smoke" coming out from every breath u make.. haha.. I'm really very excited!!

MERRY XMAS!!!!!

Yay! The world didn't end and we are celebrating Xmas once again!!!! Thank God for everything.. every single thing!!!! It has been a wonderful year ^^ good things are always happening.. u just need to be more sensitive to discover it :) Merry Christmas!!!!!

Handmade Movement - The Inaugural Craft Fair

I don't understand why I haven't been saying anything about this, coz it's one of the most important thing in my life right now. This is the first time something like this (an indie craft fair!) happening in Singapore. It's a very good start and it's going to be awesome!!!!! 

As all my handmade stuff so far are for friends and upon ordering.. I do not have any in-stock to sell at the craft fair.. I am a little bit nervous but also very excited and inspired to work something out. I hope I will be able to make some nice things for the fair :)

Singapore's first and only indie craft fair. 

Food. Music. Craft. Workshops. Live Art. Fun.

12PM - 6PM

FORT CANNING GREEN

Hope to see you there :)

One Sheepish Girl

Really thanks a lot to Lynnette for introducing me such an awesome blog!!!!!! Ever since then I have become a huge fan of One Sheepish Girl.. her handmades, her colour mixing and her photos are one great source of inspiration to me.. but.. I don't really know how to knit or crochet.. haha.. but I still love her handmades!
