Knotty Tea Party - "Handmade-A-Fair"

Just as last year, Knotty Bicsie Studio is having a Open house to all Knotty Fans to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary! Different from last year, I've invited a few of my very talented friends to set up "stalls" @our cosy studio, so we all can have a shopping spree on uniquely handmade items!

PeriwinkleSu by Suzanne

Hi everybody, I'm Suzanne of periwinkle. Many years ago, I took up patchwork lessons as just a hobby. I started with small projects of bags & pouches, then progressed to hand-quilting blankets. With my friends, we weekly get together & worked on challenging projects. Then I started exploring & creating my very own crafts as personal gifts to my friends. As I moved on with quite a collection, I thought it's time to share my love & passion with everyone. I'm pleased to be invited for Knotty Bicsie's 3rd Birthday celebration party! Just for this special occasion, I would be making new products for keeping yarns & crochet needles, etc. So I do hope all of you will like it & see all of u there! ;)

Japonicas by Jet

Japonica, which means Japan white windflower, symbolizes pureness, wilderness, hope and absolute freedom. This is how we want our creations to be... We planted hope in our Japonicas (referring to our creations) and it is hard to part with any of them. Nevertheless, we slowly learn that japonicas are meant to take greater heights, to take off and fly...


Dancing Hippo by Michelle & Jullie

Let our cute amigurumi dolls and kawaii accessories bring you smiles and joy! All items have been carefully hand-crocheted/-crafted by Michelle and Jullie. Jullie will also be showcasing one pair of her wedding dolls. Come meet these 2 crafty Mums! :)


Hand-Tatted Laces by Ellen

Since Ellen started tatting 10 years ago, she has been tatting gifts for friends, customised laces for appreciative customers, and also for charities and donation drives. Ellen has taught tatting in classes and to individuals who are keen to learn this centuries-old art of making fine laces.


Something Magickal by Ayako

On-the-spot personal intuitive drawing is done when a client sits in front of me & the client can start to talk about themselves / start asking questions / just relax and be silent throughout the 10-15mins process and i will draw out whatever images or colors i see from the client's subconscious level, from their auras or from their guides/angels/totem animals and if theres messages from the client's guides i will convey it back to the client as well. At the end of the process one gets to own their unique piece of intuitive drawing too! Plus its like having a reading done on the spot.
Intuitive Drawing sessions are at special rate of S$40.00 @Knotty Tea Party, instead of the usual S$80.00 Strictly by appointment only. Kindly email Betsy (bicsie@gmail.com) to book your session as early as possible to avoid disappointment, as there are only 6 sessions available.

Of course, Knotty Bicsie's very own hand-knitted/-crochet items will also be on sale that day, & not forgetting our yarns & accessories supplies too! :)
