babydreams, Laines are still designing for their August class. They will give me a call when they are ready and I'll go down to see which class is more suitable for us.

I wanted to check with MWL cos I feel it's actually better to do a mini album to keep as keepsake, especially for those who are not scrapbookers, doing 2-3 layouts and they will have no albums to keep it or hang around the house.

Pinkdemoness, no problem. The cost is not yet confirm, this is what they roughly told me. I'll provide more details when I have them.


Queenie, you wanna join this time round?

starflower, maybe I'll ask hubby to go TampinesOne this weekend.. kekeke..you know when the sales ending?

Hazel, when's your class starting, i'm interested. Need to know the timing n see if i can take leave on that day. kekeke...

tuskywoollie, yup, saw MWL's rate, I'm still waiting for them to come back to me. Was actually thinking whether I can design the mini album myself then teach those who are interested or not. Then just buy the materials will do. But then again, scare you ladies don't like what I design and not sure what materials you all like. Also need to find a place big enough for us to do scrapbooking.
Laines is more cosy and the class is more expensive cos all materials provided except for adhesive tape I guess.
 
vernice, is it you who want the sealing disc? I'm so busy these few days... will pop down to the staff shop later to check out for you.
 
Srumpee,
Maybe you can get the address from the person you order the items from. Can call up SingPost they can trace the parcel if the seller did put her address on the item she send. Coz my sis also encounter tis 2 weeks back she get the seller address and ask SingPost to trace end up she got her parcel, the seller put the wrong address for her unit thats why she didn't received the parcel.
 
Irene,

I rather pay YOU and not the shop lah.

I opt for you to teach or via youtube videos. I am not a real scrapbooker, and won't have the patience to do a really serious one anyway, not to mention that I will have to come with my baby. I was actually envisioning us gathering at your place and you could show us the basic steps plus provide some basic materials when I first mooted the idea. Why not we pay you instead and you instruct us? I was also loking at $30+ max with a basic starter kit included. Err .. is that realistic? I don't know how much these things cost. There is one lady selling her scrapbooking stuff at the WTS thread cos she is giving up I think.

Weekday is good for me. Weekend is family day but hey, please give priority to working moms, esp those who want weekends. I can always arrange with you guys and fellow SAHM anytime. SBut yes I definitely want to do a scrapbook keepsake for baby.
 
If I put together a scottish terrier sewing workshop (4.5hrs session) - handstitching. Beginner level. can finish in 3 hours if you focus. And provide ALL the materials. All you have to do is turn up with a pair of scissors and I charge $30 a person, you guys stil want or not? You go back with the pattern and your toy and the ability to make more terriers in the future. LOLs

I will instruct and supervise lah.

You will each get

(1) a quarter yard fabric (half is japanese 100% cotton for the front, half is non-stretchable velvet or fleece. All baby friendly materials). Will provide a myriad of prints for you to choose in advance. I only buy good quality fabrics. You can check with the sewing mommies who came.
(2) pattern in paper / fabric markers / sewing pins / threads / sewing needles
(3) Polyfill stuffing
(4) snacks and drinks until you peng san

Join only if you are comfortable hor. Obviously I am going to make a profit out of this. :)
But it is 4.5 hrs session and trust me it will be fun. Will refund you half if you don't finish in time. :p plus you can bring back the materials to do.

5 mommies max. At Queenstown. 5 mins walk from the train station. Cosy aircon environment. Can bring baby if you have to but preferably not lah. Errr... the refund policy for unfinished work doesn't count if you bring baby hor.

Ladies who have signed up. Any objection? Pls vote

By the way, give me 2 days notice if you intend to drop out ok? So I can quickly get someone else to take your spot.
 
Alfafa - will be nice if i could do a terrier or even a giraffe for kyan...absolutely love yr giraffes! but i'm working and weekends will have to bring kyan to my mum's place so its pretty difficult even though i am keen in your sewing class...and yes i can't sew for nuts too! haha...i wouldn't mind buying a giraffe from you though as i'm sure kyan will love it...argh, can't access my fb or hotmail here so i'm jus gonna reply u here...where can i see sample of the fabrics? and do u have a price list for all the items u are selling? cos i can't decide if i want giraffe, terrier or whichever animal u r gg to make...hehe

we got scrapbooking class, sewing class, 6months bash, dim sum buffet and a host of other activities gg on...march forum and mummies are so happening!!
 
alfafa,
i just read your part abt "if can focus" haha...
we took more than 3hrs cos we were chatting, pumping(ME) and eating/drinking...keke..but it was pure fun lah.

i am sure your workshop will be a blast too but must tell them no refund if dun finish on time due to "inability to focus with the lure of food n chats!

Prosper, 24th is the little gym date right? So if Hazel is having the workshop on that day, you bringing your girl to her place?


Hazel, I actually prefer weekday also as weekend is family day for me also.
I’ll try to work out something, maybe buy a few mini albums (one for each mommy), some papers, embellishments, adhesive tape then we all share share and use. My place is too small to accommodate, somemore with my girls around and a dog, I don’t think we can scrapbook peacefully. Kekekeke
 
irene
join scrapbooking? have to kiv first . coz this july like overbooked myself n tristan with programmes plus with my exams round the corner (aug 11 n 17).. im waiting for my sis to do scrapbook for tristan coz she same u .. scrapbook comrade. haha..

alfafa,

yeah i shall take asura up on her offer just to simplify things lah, so u pass the items to her when they're done and she'll reimburse u on my behalf. will place my order with u when she is back in sg then. thanks hor

pinksorbet,
not teaching giraffe lah. My proprietary baby cos I haven't seen anything similar online which was why I resorted to designing one myself and that was how it all got started. Scot terrier wise, though I drew the pattern by hand the fact is that it is very straight forward, and most scot terrier toys already look like that to begin with so I am happy to share that. Heee just being honest. ALSO, it is really a beginners' level effort with some supervision so it is fun to use that in a workshop. The end result looks gorgeous.

yours is boy or girl ah? I realise that because I tend to buy fabrics with Gracie in mind, plus affected by my own preference, very seldom do I have very macho type of print. Actually for plushies in the market they tend to be girl inclined or at best neutral. Seldom do you come across a macho plushie.

gimme a while to post the fabric choices yah.

Pricing for March mommies I know.
Gracie the Giraffe is SGD39.90, (hmmm should I named it Dylan the)Scottish terrier is SGD19.90, Oli the Owl is SGD26.90 and Taggies is SGD19.50 w/o applique of initial or SGD21.50 with.

Don't think the cow or elephant is happening anytime soon.
happy.gif


Prosper,
don't forget to send me pics yah? and testimonial. Or I will just copy and paste from your forum comment heeeeee

Ivy,
yah yah think you were the most focused already as you were the only one using the machine for a big terrier. For the small terrier it's easier to handstitch. It was fun lah. We were chatting and joking and sewing at the same time. The food was hardly touched cos all the mommies were busy with either baby or sewing. We were chatting so much that Jo sewed her doggie the wrong way round. Hahahaha Jo, post your doggies up please.

No worries with the pattern. Not digitise but I am ok with you guys sharing it nonetheless.
happy.gif
Just not for commercial reasons lah. Give me a tinker first.

thanks fireangel. you like the same fabric as the pink taggies on my eshop right? Just nice I happeb to have Juuuust about enough fabric for one more. Should be la. I better check again. The girls took that same fabric for their doggies on Tue but didn't economise the fabric so I ended up with odd shape fabric left. Tsk tsk. Pei think that was you. If not I would just go and buy more of that fabric. Seems to be very popular.

Yah yah asura's idea is wonderful.


Very paiseh. Seems like nowadays all my posts is re my e-shop. cos I hardly have time to surf already so when I come in I clear all the queries first.

Hope to be back to a proper forum mode soonest. bear with me meanwhile. Thanks guys.
 
oh yah hor. I also have a little gym date. That is the one I signed up for right?

my goodness I also think I over booked myself and gracie this JUL. confusing leh.

ok ok we can come together after the class.
 
oh oh
need to back track to find. I am booked for Little gym trial + Kindermusik and I think something else.

errr ... can anyone help refresh the dates

24th Jul. Can pass the giraffe to both Queenie and Babydreams on that day. If you want it earlier also can but not sure how to pass to you.

huh this sunday? hahahha ok ok
I pass you yours this sun. Yours is very hot man. Think I might go buy more of this fabric. Not sure if it is still available. This one is very exp. Almost SGD30 a yard! The pretty pink taggies one as well. Thought was $21 a yard but was actually SGD27. Me super blur all the time. Forgot how much I paid for my raw materials. hahaha no wonder I dropped accounting JC. Cannot stand that subject.
 
starflower you make me want to shop NOW. clothes look great. Can't believe I am missing the soldes in France now. Anyone wants Longchamp? I think the med is 58 euros at airport.
 
pumpkin,
we missed the 15th Jul deadline btw for the globestopper discount. :p Think the greatbabymall should be arriving anytime. Damn. Missed by just one or two days. Do you want to add on? Provided if they can ship really fast to the broderlinex addy lah. Or you rather seperate the shipping?
 
alfafa ...

mine too ... i ordered the drugstore hoping that I can get it shipped by 15 jul but no news ... same for my kate spade *sigh*
 
alfafa,

cheers. re: the pink fabric - much as i like it, it really doesn't suit a young master lah ;) i'll wait till u post your fabric selections before choosing. hehe.
 
Cindy,
I still haven't calculated how much our loots cost! sorry sorry. Thought I better say first before you chase me for the amount again. I am very bad at collecting money one. Wahahah how to run a business like this. Last time when I did sales was the same. Love the thrill of closing deals but always didn;t bother about payment. My finance side takes care of it but by right sales people (like my colleagues from other teams) are supposed to be more kah cheong cos no comm until clients pay up. ;-D

Sometimes clients asked me if they have paid but I usually wasn't able to answer them straightaway. Quite funny.
 
seabreeze,
yah sian right. I thought it's 15th Jul USA timing but it seems like it is based on Singers' timing. So unfair. 15% wor. But ok lah, there are 4 or 5 of us sharing so the total damage per person is less than ten dollars a person, probably just a couple of dollars.

Yah yah first time parent that's why super kiasi.

Fireangel,
opps yours is a prince. Ok let me get to it quickly.
 
alfafa, don't want to rush you but I think Gracie is ready for solids... 6 months is WHO standard but we really have to tailor it to our children's needs. I met one mum whose baby is 6 months but gives funny faces when given solids. A on the other hand just dives in for each spoonful. I was hoping to wait til 6 months too to minimise allergies but silly girl couldn't wait
 
alfafa, up to you. I can only confirm my sizing tomorrow. I am buying all sale items so shipping either way is ok for me
happy.gif


Seabreeze, of course can. That's why I offered. But only for mummies I have met. Just let me know the colour, size, handle length. I'll call them to check if they have stock first. Will most prob ask my friend who lives there to buy it and reimburse her when we get there. I'm getting for my mum so no prob to get extra, since so compact.

alfafa:: HAHAH!! don't worry, i totally understand!! now you have your mind elsewhere on making plushies. Take your time to calculate. Was thinking how to get them from u toooo! i can't wait as well. Hahah!! and trishelle has been waking up a LOT at night too. lastnight she zzz at 9pm, then up at 1230, 230, 430 and 530. I almost died in the morning!! like pumpkin says she might be ready for solids but i don't want to give to her so soon. I will still wait till she is 6.5mths haha to be safe! cause her brother only started solids when he was 8months.... and even after solids, he still woke up once at night till he was 10months! I do hope it's a once in a few nights thing... if not i'll be zombified everyday! okay going to face the students now. hope they won't give me a hard time with their nonsense!!!

seems like a lot of babies woke up last night and did not want to fall back to sleep.
haiz... what's wrong with our babies?
i'm so zombie at work today... still got piles of work needs to be cleared and meetings... arghh....
 
Fabric stash up. Feel free to pick the fabric from pics of reafdy made toys too. Or suggest to me and I will go look.

vernice,
think jojo found some excellent bargains at spotlight. I tend to buy online these days which means long waiting time.

pumpkin, cindy
solids. Yes yes I ta-buleh tahan already. ---> cannot take it. She woke up 4 times in 3 hours last night. Even as a SAHM I cam going quietly mad. Will consult you guys on the how what and which on Fri.

Irene,
ok sounds great. Keep us posted.
happy.gif
let me know if I need to buy soe stuff. Might just buy from the ladt in the wts thread. In fact I bought some embellishments recently for making baby hair accessories so I might not even need to buy embellishments anymore. I also just bought fabric glue. I supposed that can work.

Re: sewing workshop

CONFIRMED 24th jul. hoho, majority voted liao. You ok with that? I was thinking 1pm. But since some of you are coming after the little gym class ... how about coming at 12 plus after you've had your lunch? If not then we'll all start at 12 noon and only donroxx babe will be late. Or you guys can ta-bao lunch to makan here.
