Catching Up with Work
I know I haven't been updating my blog this week plus. Been trying to get back into momentum after my fabulous trip to Hokkaido & Tokyo with hubby :P Plus, after the Sunday Lifestyle article released on 7th Sep, there's been lotsa email enquiries & orders coming in even while I'm away... Not complaining, but very grateful. Just wish I have more hours a day & more energy in myself, if only I'm Duracell Bunny or the "Never-Say-Die" Energizer! :P
Last week proved to be quite constructive actually. Besides my usual workshops, I've cleared some orders as well. One VERY BUSY Funky Knitter who often "missed" her classes finally completed her scarf after almost 6weeks! Yay! Congratulations, Xuanhong!
In response to the Sunday Lifestyle article, I also managed to get a few new students, including a British lady, Anne, who came for a special Q&A session, customized for her to help complete a few baby booties she's knitting for her grandchild. How lovely! :)
There're really MANY BABIES coming to this world lately! Check out some customized orders, which I've just mailed out last week!
Well, now I'm busy preparing for this Saturday's KBCC, during which we'll be exploring simple print-making with found objects & potatoes! I'm sure it'll be fun! I'm so lookingforward to it! Dear KBCC Crafters, see ya soon! ;D

KBCC #06 - Handmade Paper Journal
It's the time of the month again! KBCC had yet another very fun afternoon @Pauseability last Saturday! This time, Teacher EeWei taught us how to make handmade paper journal. It felt like cooking lesson at some point! haha... we all had fun :D
See how Teacher EeWei is sternly checking on everyone, making sure we are using our toothbrush properly? Nobody dared to mess around. Everyone was diligently brushing our paper in full concentration...
Next, we had an extremely therapeutic paper-tearing session. Ivan was violently & aggressively shredding the paper to ventilate, while Jullie was almost into meditation mode! :P Check out how Rita dressed to match our colourful scrap paper! :P
After cutting up the ingredients, Teacher EeWei showed us how to mesh them all up with a blender to make into paper pulp. Cooking time! We all got a little weary when we saw smoke coming out of the blender after awhile! Luckily Engineer Jullie was there to rectify the problem! Otherwise we'll all be poisoned by the rubber burning smell & the smoke from the burning incense paper outside Moses' shop! :P
Finally, our "Soup of the Day"! hehe....
Next, we learnt how to sift for gold to make our pretty handmade paper. Everyone had a shot, except baby Isabelle, our Little Princess @KBCC, who was obviously shocked by the look of our chocolate fondue! haha... :D
Now it's time to leave out our paper pulp to dry, while we work on our journal with some ready made paper Teacher EeWei had prepared in advance. Everyone was working intensely on our own journal. We can't wait to have our very own journal made...
Yay...!!!! Finally!!! Check out the fruits of our labour! Aren't they all amazing? Cool, ya? Everyone agreed that we probably won't buy any notebook ever again after last Saturday! Coz it's so easy to make & we can even decorate it just the way we like it! Wow!
Thank you so much, Teacher EeWei!
ps: Here's wishing all teachers in the world a very happy Happy Teachers' Day! :D
