Cat Cushion Workshop

Last Saturday, I'd spent a really nice afternoon at Within teaching a bunch of ladies how to whip up some cat cushions for themselves.

It was such a gorgeous space and I'd especially loved the courtyard. Too bad I'd only taken one photo of it - and with my phone too. Silly.

Thanks for inviting me over and an even bigger thank you to all my participants! I hope yous have enjoyed yourselves and learnt some new tips and tricks at hand sewing :)

I am SO bad at maintaining my blog

Last year's resolution was to blog more. I failed. My last post was 6 months ago and so many things has happened since.

This year I want to blog more again too. Though I'm really not sure if I'm gonna keep up.

1. Let's start the very first post of 2015 with my catssistant, Lights, being cute.

2. I've gotten into doing lots more embroidery portraits and really enjoy coming up with them

3. This is my latest commission: a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary

4. Some new work that I'm in the midst of, think marbling + leather

5. If you've been following me on my Instagram or Facebook, you'd have found out I'm expecting our son, Eden, come either late April or early May!

6. So far I've made a pair of leather moccasins, a sleeveless onesie and just today, a pair of leggings for him

7. This is the first time I'm working with knit, so you can bet I'm pretty proud of myself with how things came out. Patterns employed are stamps I've carved years back. Thought to revisit them again. Am definitely starting a kids' line if anybody's curious.

8. Excited about the latest workshop I'll be conducting for the Purrzaar Market on 7th Feb, held at Within. Check http://www.within.sg for more info and sign up. Apparently we'll be working out in a beautiful courtyard. It's gonna be good.

Book Binding & Marbling Workshop

Had the opportunity a few weeks back to conduct a book binding and marbling workshop in a friend's beautiful garden.

These are pictures of how it went!

Marbled paper all left out in the back garden to dry

Then we're off to binding and building our signatures

4 hard hours later, the girls have their books all pretty and done up!

This is how a book looks:
