Art & Craft Booth

Oh my! I am so occupied with everything right now.  But I promised myself I would work on this blog.

The mid-autumn festival was on 7th September 2014. I was one of the vendor in the art & craft section. Nervous and excited but I think I did well that day and I learned a few things.

Setting up my booth. The festival starts at 2.00pm, started to set up booth by 1.00pm.

Done setting up.

Some of my customer from Germany. There was also from Italy and the Middle East.

Another couple from Germany....I asked every one of them.

More customers... Some of them said they never seen this before. Crochet has just made a comeback here in Malaysia. An elder ladies even asked me if I held class on teaching crochet.

Julian had face painting at one of the booth in the art & craft section too.

I'm using cheap cupcake display for my baby booties.

Spray-painted egg tray as recycled display.

This is pretty much what I crochet within 1 1/2 months.

My loyal assistant, couldn't do without them since a friend who offered to help back out at the latest minute.

The theme of the festival was retro. And they had mooncake competition - mid-autumn festival is also known as mooncake festival. (Image from the event planner, Creativision)

Goodbye Mid-Autumn...

Thanks for reading. Good day.

About Me

Hello and welcome to all! 

I am Felicia, hail from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and currently residing in Penang. I am the crafter and crocheter behind this blog. I am able to stay at home with my 6 years old boy because I wanted to be with him and nurture him myself and I don't regret it. 

When he turned 4 years old and attended pre-school, I find myself free with the extra hours at home. That's when I turned to crochet. I taught myself how to crochet from Youtube videos and tutorial online. As long as I could remember I have always been crafty. I love any crafts that got to do with yarn, paper and any recycling material.

I graduated from Universiti Utara Malaysia in 2003 with a degree in International Business and was in the job force for 6 years before I finally married the most wonderful man. I quit my job to relocate to Penang with my husband.

Today, I have an online shop selling personalised gifts and my crochet handmade, which most comprised of baby and adult hats. Feel free to browse my shop at Bavakoo Gifts & Crafts. I will soon set up a website for convenience shopping purposes.

Happy crafting and crocheting and Good day!!

P.S.: The above image is a photo puzzle. You can order just like this one by sending me your photo and we do the printing for you.
