GOODIEBOXCRAFTS SHOOT WITH CDO'S BIDA KIDS 2015

Had so much fun teaching Cagayan de Oro's 3rd batch of Pamahaw Espesyal's Bida Kids 2015. I taught them how to make beaded key chains and souvenir ref magnets. While making their own work of art, I gave them prizes if they showed me their talents. 

Yesterday's activity was a fruitful one and everyone went home happy with their creations and I hope that they learned something while having fun.

Thanks to Pamahaw Espesyal of ABS-CBN Northern Mindanao, Ms Che Verendia, and also to Ms Grace, Mr Oscar and Mr Wisley for the hospitality.

I would also like to thank Sophie Lasque and Maia Medrano for acting as my assistants during the arts and crafts workshop.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

DRESSING UP THE MANNEQUIN

Last month, I bought three small mannequins in Gaisano City since they were sooo cheap.  In SM Cebu, they had stalls and craft shops with the same items but costs P375.00 for those same sizes.  I thought of collecting them since they're sooo cute. Bigger sizes costs P600.00 up to P1,500.00.

Guess how much I bought each.  A whooping P65.00
(yippee!).  They were on sale already because their gowns were torn and maybe only me, of all the people gave value to it.  So much for that, I bought them and this made my day. 

I don't go out of the house most of the time and it just so happen that I had to meet somebody there who was buying a polymer clay from me. I went up to the 2^nd floor where all the (dustyJ) gift items and (dustyJ) give-aways were found.  They were placed in an assorted sale rack and found it to be so lifeless to others, but a real find for me.  I was so excited to dress them up but I had to leave for Naga City to accompany my hubby who was joining the CamSur Marathon 2010.

Now that I had the time after submitting my transcribed work yesterday, I started creating my craft.  I started dressing the mannequin up last night and finished it today.  I was so slow since I was caught up by time reading blogs, practicing my trying hard Photoshop expertise, and woke up late because my hubby had insomnia again last night.  We had to go to Dunkin’ Donuts at 2am to eat bunwich and tire himself up so he can get back to sleep when we arrive home.

Unfortunately, I only finished one.  I am still looking for purple, lavender shaded cloths for my next mannequin dress up stint hahaha!  I enjoyed it so much and am looking forward to finding cheaper mannequins to dress up.  I will also post them when am done.

 

 

IT'S FREE TO DREAM

If you want to ask me what's my ultimate dream in terms of arts and crafts, well, find out in this video from bead & button:

It's so cool to be joining this kind of event and if I imagine myself to be there, wheeeeew! I will really be flabbergasted with the thought of having a dream come true, just like any other kid who might be in Disneyland.

Well, it's free to dream, right?  And that's the power that we have as Homo Sapiens, being able to dream freely what we want in life.  Although it may or may not come, just imagining wonderful things to happen will surely suffice me with happiness and awe at that.

Have a great day ahead! 

Having dreams is free....
Fulfilling them is the best...
Getting them in an unexpected moment is the greatest...

PROJECT FOR THE WEEK

I was thinking of what to create this week and I missed working on my bead loom. So i decided to dig out my stacks of beads, a thread, my beading needle, scissors, threader (in case i am not able to shoot my thread to the needle - but so far, I finished the project without using one hehe!)

 I am still thinking of making this into a bracelet or a head band.  What do you think? Please leave a comment below. Thanks

These are just beads from the combined stacks that I have. 

I am also mastering how to properly place the thread.

And I also know how to make it longer or if I want my project to be longer. I just have to loosen the screws and turn the wood and move the threads so it'll adjust to the empty spaces ready for beading.
