Little House Cushion Workshop on 16th Dec 2010
Our Crafting Studio was filled with chatting & laughter last Thursday when our crafter-in-residence, Periwinkle, had her sewing workshop. 2 of the ladies turned out to be a hardcore fan of Periwinkle even before the workshop! So the experience was like learning from a celebrity idol for them B-) Teacher Suzanne even thoughtfully brought some Nonya pastries for the tea-break. All the colourful & pretty Little Houses sure made our studio a lot more cosy & lovely that day! ;)

Meet Funky Knit - Yu Lei
"Betsy is very patient with me and she really knows her stuffs well! She's also very chatty so this somehow turns every single session into a chatting session instead, but of course, not at the expense of my project :) It's very enjoyable to be able to learn knitting from someone who is so passionate and takes so much pride in her students' works that she wants them to take pictures with their projects so that she can keep them as momentos! Kudos to Betsy for making knitting such a therapeutic and pleasurable experience! I'll definitely look for you in future if I have new projects in mind!" - Yu Lei, 29th Nov 2010
