KBCC #12 - Plushies Party


KBCC's 1st Anniversary last Sat was a hit! It was so crowded, Moses, Ed & I have to give up our seats & chance to make our own plushies! :P Moses, thank you so so much for helping in the teaching!
We started our session with some "flashback", going through past KBCC photos & activities... O boy, sure brought back lotsa fond memories. The funniest gotta be the time when we braved the rain & continue our crafting at Botanical Garden! Haha... must've created a scene!
Then the session at Hougang Central Mall in conjunction with the Singapore Arts Street was indeed colourful & fun.
One of the most therapeutic session gotta be our painting session! This was also the month when Jullie gave birth to Little Prince Joel :)

Then came KBCC #12 - Plushies Party when everyone successfully created the cutest monster we can imagine! A few KBCC crafters were even awed by the fact that they can actually sew! haha... Well done, KBCC!!!
I'm sure there'll be many more cheerful kodak moments to add on to our KBCC album...
Last Saturday KBCC turns ONE @Pauseability, time to say farewell to Pauseability... From April onwards, KBCC will shift to my home studio @Admiralty Drive. With the passion & enthusiasm of all KBCC Crafters, I'm sure KBCC will go a long long way... I always feel I'm very lucky to have all these wonderfully happy & generous crafters as part of KBCC, making KBCC such a vibrant & brilliant month "rendezvous" for all! ;)

Here's what 1 KBCC crafter wrote to me:
"Dear Betsy, I want to thank you for organizing KBCC... I enjoy the sessions & the people very much... ... I have been to a few such gathering before, but never find it comfortable with people there until I went to KBCC, I meet with friendly people... who want to share their knowledge, I feel so welcome... ... I like KBCC, it's family oriented :D... ..." - Yuliana Tjioe, 30th March 2009

As most of you know, KBCC is run based on the principle of "not-for-profit", & our goal is to make crafting a modern way of life for everyone. With each participants paying a mere $10/session, we provide all materials for the new craft we are learning, & we even try to throw in some delicacy for every session. (Tell u a little "secret", we are always strangely hungry after we complete our craft! haha...) So if you enjoy handicraft, have been unknowingly drawn to our blog, what are you waiting for?? Send an email to Betsy (bicsie@gmail.com) now & be part of the KBCC Family! Cya at our next session!

KBCC #11 - Peranakan Peranakan!

KBCC in Feb was a special one because of 2 reasons:

1) In line with Richard's Peranakan Exhibition @Pauseability, we had a Peranakan inspired activity for our KBCC! Richard & Moses definitely brought us all back to our "good old days" of playing with paper dolls.
Check out our "Mini Project Runway"!

2) We had an especially sumptuous "refreshment" spread, all thanx to EeWei! Well, it was actually a farewell party for our crafty friend & she decided to give us all a treat. Thank you, EeWei! :)
Many of us prepared gifts for our Miss Sunshine: Richard made his signature miniature Peranakan beaded clogs, I knitted a lovely red beret for her, Moses & gang customized a sweet scarf for her from "you-know-who" :P
EeWei, all the best to you & your future endeavors with Darcy! Do keep in touch! Continue to post comments & even cool interesting crafty ideas here! We will all miss you so much! Don't cry at the airport tmr, ok?? :P Our lovely handmade gifts will definitely keep u VERY WARM in cold cold Canada... :)
