KBCC #16 - ScrapBooking

Last Saturday was more chaotic than usual at our monthly KBCC, simply because we had a full house of 16 participants & literally scraps of materials everywhere! Nonetheless, it was a fun-filled afternoon for everyone still :D
Check out our colourful "stationery store" for the day. We had such a wide variety of materials to choose from, we were spoilt (& confused??) with choices! :P Thank u Moses, Corine & Laura, for sharing your resources.
Some KBCC Crafters like to bring their kids along to craft. It's really heart-warming to see these parent-child interact & collaborate in creating their very own masterpieces. Well done, parents & kids! ;)
Check out our beautiful masterpieces. I must say I'm really proud of our creations, especially since most of us were doing scrapbooking for the very first time! Yay! ;)
Special THANKS to Corine, who has so generously volunteer to share her scrapbooking experience. We really learnt a lot from you :)
Once again, our special guest, EeWei, graced our humble session with her very special northern light sky, lovingly posted all the way from Edmonton. Moses is now the lucky proud owner of this lovely handmade photoframe & in return, he's also made something special for EeWei. EeWei, I'm sure it'll bring tears to ur eyes... hehe... :P

Would also like to take this opportunity to introduce & acknowledge 2 members of KBCC, who's been so enthusiastic & helpful all these while....
First of all, someone whom many of u, especially newbies who just joined us recently, are very familiar with, our Honorary Usher @Sembawang MRT - Laura! Thank u for helping fetch newbies to our crafting studio...
Then we have our Honorary Facebook Photographer - Siti! Thank u for always being so efficient in posting up the photos the day after KBCC. I'm sure EeWei LOVES u very much! :D

Another Introductory Funky Knit @MAAD

Yesterday 4 newbie joined our Funky Knit Journey. Read about their 1st knitting experience below...
"Dear Betsy, knitting really need 2 hands & brain to work together... this is tough... however, I'm glad & happy because your patient guidance throughout the workshop had helped me complete my hp pouch. I love it!! Thanks!" - Han, 5th July 2009

"Dear Betsy, thanks for your warm welcome! I really enjoyed it a lot! Thanks for your guidance, I love my handphone pouch! & I want to learn more!!! Cya!" - Iris, 5th July 2009

"Why everyone starts with 'Dear Betsy'? Anyway... Dear Betsy, I didn't expect knitting to be easy to learn. This way of learning is definitely better than YouTube & books. Simply because they cannot 'undo' mistakes, but you can! I won't mind learning a little more about knitting. Now, I'm feeling inspired to make big things with this simple technique you taught me!" - ShuaiXun, 5th July 2009
"Hello! eh... knitting is much easier than crochet lor! ... Thank you for teaching me!" - Peiling, 5th July 2009

KBCC #15 - WaterColour

Yesterday we tried our hands at watercolour. Lyn is so nice to agree to show us how. Everyone had fun "playing" with watercolour.
Check out our masterpieces! We sure got some hidden talent among us! :D
Our yummy delicacies sure are another high-light of KBCC! Yesterday we had Mee Soto (Malay chicken noodle soup) & Begadeh (fried potato cake), which were very well-received, especially the Begadeh. In fact, it was wiped out in 15min! :P For the past few sessions, since we shifted back to Knotty Bicsie Studio, our refreshments have been lovingly prepared by a few Malay ladies, all home-made traditionally. From now on, by popular demand, I'll also be including our menu on our KBCC monthly rendezvous :P So stay tuned.... :)

Parent-Child Angel Clay Workshop

Last Saturday (21st June 2009), I conducted a Angel Clay Workshop @I Love Children. It was a parent-child workshop, which aims to promote parent-child bonding & moral education through crafting.
I am very encouraged to the see the overwhelming response! We had a full class of 15 pairs of parent-child! I was told by the organizer that there were more enquiring about the workshop, unfortunately we were already fully booked. Well, maybe next time then :) 
Once again, Knotty Staff Azreen (in pink cardigan) was a great help, both parents & kids LOVE her million $$$ smile!!! :)))
All parents & kids were very engaged in playing with the angel clay. As usual, the kids just LOVE mixing their colour clay since it's so therapeutic to pinch the soft clay among our fingers. Parents were also enthusiastically creating animals & creatures with their little Princes & Princesses. Everyone made at least 2animals/creatures & 1lovely cake for Father's Day. We had a fruitful & fun-filled morning! Yay! :D

Happy Birthday, Daryne!!!

Last Saturday was Princess Daryne's 3rd Birthday & Knotty Bicsie is truly honoured to be part of the celebration! Mummy Lynn engaged us to conduct PomPom Party as part of the evening's fun & colourful program. We had so much fun with the kids, we forgot to take pictures of the children's proud monster creations! Everyone had at least 1 new fluffy friend to bring home with (yes, many kept coming back for more!), how nice! :)
It was a cosy party of about 10kids & some 10-15 parents. We stayed for about 2hours so the kids can come as & when they feel like making a PomPom Monster with us. We truly appreciate parents who worked on the PomPom Monster together with their kids. It's always nice seeing parent & child working together :) Special thanks to Nancy who patiently guided her 3-year-old son, Samuel, through to make 3 PomPom Monsters!

"Betsy is a patient teacher & for a beginner like me who has no experience in crochet, I feel very accomplished when I completed my mobile phone pouch. Although I made lots of mistakes, she was willing to guide me along in correcting me. I have certainly learnt a lot during these 2 hours. Thank you, Betsy!" - Evelyn, 7th June 2009
"Thanks, Betsy! I have a wonderful afternoon learning the crochet technique from you. Your instructions are clear & you are patient. Hope to have the chance to learn more from you. Cheers!" - Ellen, 7th June 2009
"Haha back again for a second mini-workshop with Betsy!! Because she is such an attentive teacher. :) Finished a cute pouch under 2hrs! Crochet is amazingly faster than knitting indeed. haha, good for more 'instant-gratification' projects :)" - Amy, 7th June 2009
