KBCC #19 - Hand-Stitched Journal

Long time no see... KBCC stopped for 1 session in October coz it was Knotty Bicsie's 3rd Anniversary Celebrations. We finally met up again last Sat (28th Nov) & made some pretty hand-stitched journals :)

I've been very busy for the past few months since September, & I think I almost have neglected KBCC a bit. Sorry! :( Thank goodness our KBCC Family is very closely-knitted & everyone's always very helpful & generous. This time Moses once again came to my rescue by helping to conduct this fruitful session. Thank you, Moses!

We were all busy cutting paper, folding paper, poking holes, & stitching... before we were rewarded with our makan session! We had yummy home-made keuh patti, courtesy of our new member, Suzanne. Thank you so much, Suzanne! ;)

Check out our colourful hand-stitched journals! Yay!

KBCC #16 - ScrapBooking

Last Saturday was more chaotic than usual at our monthly KBCC, simply because we had a full house of 16 participants & literally scraps of materials everywhere! Nonetheless, it was a fun-filled afternoon for everyone still :D

Check out our colourful "stationery store" for the day. We had such a wide variety of materials to choose from, we were spoilt (& confused??) with choices! :P Thank u Moses, Corine & Laura, for sharing your resources.

Some KBCC Crafters like to bring their kids along to craft. It's really heart-warming to see these parent-child interact & collaborate in creating their very own masterpieces. Well done, parents & kids! ;)

Check out our beautiful masterpieces. I must say I'm really proud of our creations, especially since most of us were doing scrapbooking for the very first time! Yay! ;)

Special THANKS to Corine, who has so generously volunteer to share her scrapbooking experience. We really learnt a lot from you :)

Once again, our special guest, EeWei, graced our humble session with her very special northern light sky, lovingly posted all the way from Edmonton. Moses is now the lucky proud owner of this lovely handmade photoframe & in return, he's also made something special for EeWei. EeWei, I'm sure it'll bring tears to ur eyes... hehe... :P

Would also like to take this opportunity to introduce & acknowledge 2 members of KBCC, who's been so enthusiastic & helpful all these while....

First of all, someone whom many of u, especially newbies who just joined us recently, are very familiar with, our Honorary Usher @Sembawang MRT - Laura! Thank u for helping fetch newbies to our crafting studio...

Then we have our Honorary Facebook Photographer - Siti! Thank u for always being so efficient in posting up the photos the day after KBCC. I'm sure EeWei LOVES u very much! :D

KBCC #15 - WaterColour

Yesterday we tried our hands at watercolour. Lyn is so nice to agree to show us how. Everyone had fun "playing" with watercolour.

Check out our masterpieces! We sure got some hidden talent among us! :D

Our yummy delicacies sure are another high-light of KBCC! Yesterday we had Mee Soto (Malay chicken noodle soup) & Begadeh (fried potato cake), which were very well-received, especially the Begadeh. In fact, it was wiped out in 15min! :P For the past few sessions, since we shifted back to Knotty Bicsie Studio, our refreshments have been lovingly prepared by a few Malay ladies, all home-made traditionally. From now on, by popular demand, I'll also be including our menu on our KBCC monthly rendezvous :P So stay tuned.... :)
