KBCC 25th April 2009 was such a happy event. But then again, KBCC events have always been happy events. I guess crafting does that to people.<br /><br />We did Needle Felting. And these were the adorable creations of all participants on that day.</span></em><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QIhd3PIiVlU/Sfq16oWJwAI/AAAAAAAAAAw/t7W4ivUnKdI/s1600-h/IMG_1340.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330773127813775362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 421px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QIhd3PIiVlU/Sfq16oWJwAI/AAAAAAAAAAw/t7W4ivUnKdI/s320/IMG_1340.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#336666;"><em>KBCC this time was double the fun when we had the Easter gift exchange.

Having only attended 4 KBCC workshops thus far, I’m fairly new. But I confess, I’m already addicted to crafting. At all the 4 workshops, I did things I never dream I’d be able to do, like sewing. Me, sewing? Yeah, right. But I did! Some of the crafts I never even heard of, like acrylic painting (what?), needle felting (huh?).<br /><br />Now I find myself always looking forward to the next KBCC. To be amongst happy, creative people; picking up new hobbies; learning new skills and of course --- the food that comes after the crafting !</em></span> <strong>*BURP*</strong></span></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515646364257450000.post-61661555607333564252009-04-29T07:33:00.002+08:002009-04-29T07:36:10.840+08:00Knock Your Socks Off<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtKoikBtnYruZ-6-Bxa5f6kkTUHeCPcpl1uGjY_BwdtlD8Ue8taTISJYXGhz0sl8dsNMeBJ78zmuyjDUFNGIIH-vKUpY2ofY_QV0eb99ruWo15pG0Jsy09bIFV5qZG_GK4Xfwi1rdyfEK-/s200/Haute+Socks+Sarah+Mims+front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtKoikBtnYruZ-6-Bxa5f6kkTUHeCPcpl1uGjY_BwdtlD8Ue8taTISJYXGhz0sl8dsNMeBJ78zmuyjDUFNGIIH-vKUpY2ofY_QV0eb99ruWo15pG0Jsy09bIFV5qZG_GK4Xfwi1rdyfEK-/s200/Haute+Socks+Sarah+Mims+front.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Have old socks and don't know what to do with them? <a href="http://ecopractical.blogspot.com/">Eco-Practical Crafting</a> has a <a href="http://ecopractical.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-had-no-idea-there-were-so-many-sock.html">list of ideas</a> for you.pauseabilityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16619557200654251784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515646364257450000.post-15281171272467339302009-04-22T22:23:00.003+08:002009-04-22T22:26:32.003+08:00Spring GreeingIt's been a while since there is a post about eco-friendly craft.

(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??
