Etsy Craft Party 2015 in Singapore!

2 Comments

Heya lovelies, two weeks ago when Etsy had their worldwide craft parties, I was invited to the one held in Singapore. It was a global celebration of meeting like-minded craft junkies and simply crafting together!

Organised and pulled together by sisters and owners of Simply For Love, Salinah and Nuraisah, the Etsy Craft Party is in its third year running in Singapore. Three years ago when the sisters realised that Singapore was lacking in summer craft fairs and the culture of making. they decided to apply to Etsy as a craft party host, thereby starting an annual event of celebrating and sharing everything handmade on the little red dot.

This year’s Etsy Craft Party theme, Kaleidoscope: Paper Taking Shape, explores the multi-facets and strengths of paper in craft-making.

“Kaleidoscopes represent many individual pieces coming together to create something beautiful — much like the dynamic shops that make up Etsy.”

There were several stations to try out different paper crafts, and my favourite was the one where I learned how to make a bracelet out of magazine pages. I deal with fabric more often in my work, but it was nice for a change to explore other types of crafts.

It’s okay, I went home with some goodies in my gift bag!

Beary Naise Handmade is now on Etsy!

Leave a Comment

Heyy guys! I know it’s been really long since I updated this space, but I haven’t been slacking! :) I mentioned before that, this year I will get Beary Naise (my humble craft store) up and running, and I’ve been working on setting up an Etsy store. Can’t believe I didn’t do it earlier, but it’s better late than never.

Etsy.com is this online craft community where people buy and sell handmade and vintage products. You will get lost in that labyrinth of quirky and beautiful handmade items. And their WEDDINGS section is simple orgasmic. I introduced my sister to that site and she was hooked.

So here it is, Beary Naise is now on Etsy.com!!!

There are new products in store, and good news is that there will be NEW Products in every month! I’ll be keeping to a tight schedule of churning out beautifully handmade products, and I’m looking forward to seeing my store grow. So far, I’m loving how my store is looking. It took quite a while to iron out the unknown, and setting up a (craft) business is not as easy as it seems. As with any other businesses, there is a lot of planning to do. But that’s the thing with doing what you love – you’ll keep pushing on, even though your eyes are dried out from staring at the computer for too long, and your head is throbbing from having not enough sleep. Despite all that, you just continue… because you know that the end result of your labour is worth it. :)

Meanwhile, let’s check out some of the new items in store!
