Bake For Fun @ Jeumpa D'ramo

Took place in Jeumpa D'ramo, Bangsar, we tried to make our kids build and decorate a ginger bread house. Since Qaseh and Jehan were too occupied with their own "emo" moment, Aneesha and Nandini took over the task.

However, the kids finally came around and did decorate the house with candies and sweeties. Even though the activity was bake for fun, the highlight of the event was chilling by the pool. Kids, kids, kids!

p/s: Rumour has it that most of the houses were built by the moms! ooopss...

T-shirt painting by the waterfall

What a brilliant idea by my ex-school mate (so proud of her!) to have an event by the waterfall and recommended T-shirt painting to be part of it. In 30 minutes the participants had come out with their original artwork showcasing their talent, what a great way to do team building.

The weather was just right, after a heavy rain followed by little drizzling, I was walking from the entrance towards the location. Unaware how far it will take, taking small steps and eyes wandering looking for my ex-school mate or a group that that suspiciously looked like a group of UPM team, finally after a 20 minutes of searching I found them. Yes, I had thought of it, but the reception of network that I am on, was pointless in Sg Congkak area. It had shown absolute no connection but I can see the time, at least. To add magical effect on the day of the event, as soon  as I reached the location, rain stopped and the sun started shining.

The group was supportive, fun and sporting. Other activities were games like throwing balloons which filled with water, musical chair for kids, fill in water in bottles and cake decorating.

Many thanks to Wan Suzana and Dr Malina Osman for the great time and opportunity and not to forget the souvenier, a set of coaster, loving it!

Bullion and French knot roses

Many during previous workshop had shown interest in embroidery and bullion. I hope this video will help many of you to start decorating clothes, table runners, and even t-shirts with roses and flowers. owh, thank god it's Friday.

Smocking Workshop @ National Textile Museum 3 & 4 Dec

The objective was to produce smocking cupcake design as below. It turned out it was not as easy, the process was hillarious though. We did have fun, didn't we, ladies?

Workshops by ACG @ National Textile Museum

Picture by : Felicia loh/ felicia's art

Workshops by ACG KL Society members are now at National Textile Museum. National Textile Museum has generously become the venue and material sponsor for the 28 workshops is a surprise for me as most bodies expect free services from us, the craft people. Hip, hip, hooray! to Jane, president of ACG who has been continuously finding ways to benefit the members.

The picture taken was the day, many facilitators gathered up for briefing and even the museum director, Janet Lee showed up to support the activities.
