It's that time of the year again! :) The DIY Bride workshop is now open for registration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm soooooo excited because this is my first workshop for the year! Yey! Similar to my previous workshops as seen <a href="http://candidlypretty.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-diy-bride-workshop.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://candidlypretty.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-diy-bride-workshop.html" target="_blank">here</a>, I'll be teaching brides (non-brides are very much welcome to join as well!) to make different styles of paper and fabric flowers. This will be the basic for making bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, headbands, etc. </div>

I am never the type to post selfies on my social media profiles but I enjoy posting my handmade musings online. I can sometimes be quiet and not give my thoughts but I wear my heart on my sleeves in sharing my life's adventures and misadventures. I can be timid and extremely shy but when I'm in the groove, I become quite the opposite. Just like what you'll see in this clip. Yep, that is me all excited and giddy. :)<br />
<br />
I hope that you'll enjoy this video segment I did for GMA News TV's Good Vibes.<br />

A couple of weeks ago, at a quaint tea shop on Maginhawa Street, 10 girls met, made pretty things by hand, had fun, and drank yummy milk tea. :) This aptly summarizes The DIY Bride Workshop last June 21.<br />
<br />
The workshop started early. It was a warm and sunny Saturday morning, a perfect time to mingle and learn a thing or two about arts and crafts. As always, everybody was very friendly, giggly, and excited. After all, not only was the workshop intended to teach handmade wedding details, it was also a venue to meet acquaintances and make new friends.<br />

Each participant received a kit filled with craft materials such as pretty cotton fabrics, lace fabrics, garterized and hard headbands, alligator clips, brooch pins, covered buttons, rhinestones and embellishments, scrapbook papers, and a lot more.<br />

It was indeed a busy morning. Everyone was enthusiastic to try and make as I teach them techniques I learned over the years. The girls made 3 different styles of fabric flowers and a paper flower. I showed them the basics of making headbands, boutonnieres, bouquets, wedding garters, and corsages. To encourage them more to make and create, I also shared tips on preparing a DIY wedding and where to source craft materials.<br />

Mavi is a beautiful baby girl with the looks of an angel. She's a definite source of happiness! It has been a pleasure to be a part of this very important day of her life, her baptism, her merry Christening! :)<br />
<br />
Her mom chose pastel colors and gold as her motiff. Don't you just love this color combination?<br />

Of course, I obliged and welcomed the challenge. The theme we worked on was dainty afternoon tea which is one of my fave styles. I couldn't be more excited!</div>

A great read to start the year right. :) Thank you to the beautiful ladies of ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc. for sending a copy of Working Mom Magazine's December 2013 / January 2014.<br />
<br />
Jeric, Jeron and Mommy Susan Teng grace its cover. Flipping through its pages, I found articles on planning the perfect holiday party, inspiring dessert tables, foolproof ways on how to always look great on family portraits, ways to pamper your skin post-party and quick beauty tips on hiding the holiday stress. Features on makeover tips from getting your dream wardrobe, changing the way you snack to getting your house in order are all very helpful and insightful.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to get a hold of February's issue!<br />

2013 passed by ever so swiftly. It was a year of listening to one's heart, pursuing dreams and taking risks. I would not have known despite my fears and doubts that an ounce of courage will go a long way. God opens doors and windows of opportunities to those willing to accept them.<br />
<br />
One of the wonderful blessings I've been given last year was to be a part of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/goodhousekeeping.ph" target="_blank">Good Housekeeping</a>'s Home-mazing Ideas by 3M. To be invited as an expert and facilitator was a dream come true! The first leg kicked off at the Ayala Town Center. Workshops were also held at The Columns Legazpi Village, One Serendra, SM Lanang Premier Davao, Robinsons Manila and ended at Corinthian Gardens. <br />

These series of workshops gave me beautiful memories and new friends. I'm grateful that through this God has added another ounce of courage in me to believe more in my dreams and take risks.<br />

Let me end this post by sharing a quote from one of my favorite books, <i>The Passion</i>, by Jeanette Winterson, "You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing
that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things
you love, what you risk reveals what you value."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09020385727273613782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295977609462739239.post-54297058270903553572013-09-10T22:45:00.001-07:002013-09-10T22:45:26.078-07:00{Craft Workshop} The DIY Bride<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
"Mini-dreams" abound in my bucket list. Though my list is long and seems a tad impossible at times, I am devoted in the challenge of making them come true. Hosting The DIY Bride Workshop was one of them. Having marked this item DONE as the <a href="http://candidlypretty.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-diy-bride-workshop.html" target="_blank">first workshop</a> was held last May 25, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. I really enjoyed teaching and sharing what I love with like-minded persons and those yearning to learn.<br />
<br />
I am so thrilled to let you know that I will be hosting the second leg of The DIY Bride!!! Again, I will be mentoring brides (non-brides are very much welcome as well) how to make various types of <b>alternative flowers made of fabric, yarn and paper</b>. I'll be sharing tips and techniques to create your own <b>bouquets, boutonnieres, garters, headbands, decor</b> and a lot more!<br />
<br />
Each participant will receive a flower-making kit (includes fabrics, yarns, printed papers, elastic laces, garterized bands, hard headband, rhinestones, embellishments, floral wire and tape) and a handpainted canvass bag from my crafter friend, <a href="http://threesixtyfivepointfour.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Ella</a>, who also hand-drawn this pretty poster. :)<br />
<br />
Lovely sponsors will be sharing goodies as well! Participants will also receive craft supplies from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BeeHappyCrafts" target="_blank">Bee Happy Crafts</a> and truffles from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TruffleTree" target="_blank">The Truffle Tree</a>.<br />
<br />
Light snacks will be served! To register, please email me at candidlypretty@yahoo.com or send a text message at 0905-2212141. I'll be accepting 7 participants only.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you ladies! :)<br />

Christian and Angela's wedding week was one filled with cloudbursts.
Looking at weather forecasts, chance of rain was very high. Though I
associate rain with gloom, I see it as God's love being showered on
earth. I have nothing against precious water falling from heaven just that
Christian and Angela's wedding flowers were made from paper!<br />
<br />
Despite experiencing thunderstorms from Monday to Saturday, it was a
miracle that the sun was shining brightly on Sunday, their wedding day.
It was a big relief. Thank you Father for giving us sunshine, the gift
of family and friends, and letting us enjoy these paper flowers!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my paper-folded lovelies. Kudusama bouquet for the female entourage: <br />

Hi loves!!! :) It's been ages since I posted a tutorial on the blog. I had been very busy with craft misadventures and got a bit lost (intentionally) in daydreaming. Well, I'm back and will try to make it up to you ladies by sharing this pretty table setting idea.<br />
<br />
I swoon over lovely florals and pretty pastels but I'm also a huge fan of bright colors, bold prints and patterns. I've been chevron-crazy lately and when I started working on these turquoise chevron placemats, I just can't help but want to splash more colors! Enter one of my favorite craft materials, yarns!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you're hands are ready to craft!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Materials:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- wooden spoon and fork</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- yarn/s</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- scissors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- glue gun</div>

I've completed one item in my bucket list! Hooray for taking chances and following ones' heart!!! Last May 25, I conducted <b>The DIY Bride</b> <a href="http://candidlypretty.blogspot.com/2013/04/craft-workshop-diy-bride.html" target="_blank">workshop</a> at my favorite craft store, <a href="http://www.lastingimpressionph.com/" target="_blank">Lasting Impression</a>. With an excitement I can't contain, I met happy and wonderful ladies who were eager to learn crafts. Everybody greeted everyone with a friendly smile.<br />
<br />
We started the workshop by making lace headbands for flower girls and/or entourage.<br />
<br />
<b>Craft lesson #1</b>: Be in the zone and always get your game face on. <br />

It was a very productive day. Thank you ladies for sharing your precious time. I hope that what you learned will inspire you to make and create.<br />
<br />
Gratitude to the Lord for giving me the courage to take chances, trust my instincts, and follow my heart. None of this will be possible if not for the love and support of my husband. Thank you Mr. Esteban! And as always, the photos you took are beautiful. Cheers to my friends, <a href="http://threesixtyfivepointfour.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Ella</a> for hand-painting the poster and participants' canvass bags and <a href="http://hellogelibee.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Geli</a> for the yummy Red Velvet cupcakes!!! <br />

Have you ever spent sleepless nights because of excessive excitement your heart feels like jumping out of your body to strut a silly dance and run like crazy?!? This pretty much describes my nocturnal activities lately.<br />
<br />
Today, I can finally holler with exhilaration and share with you what has been keeping me up late at night - I'll be hosting another workshop on DIY crafts!!! This time I'll be focusing on crafts that will be helpful to brides who'd like to personalize details in their weddings. I will be teaching <b>fabric, yarn and paper flowers</b> and will be sharing tips and techniques to create your own <b>bouquet, boutonniere, wedding garter, headbands/headpieces, decor</b> and a lot more!<br />
<br />
Participants will be given a kit that includes fabrics, yarns, printed papers, elastic laces, garterized bands, rhinestones and embellishments so you can start working on your DIY projects. Limited slots are available! Please email candidlypretty@yahoo.com or text 0905-2212141 for more details.<br />

A toy store is to a child as <a href="http://www.lastingimpressionph.com/" target="_blank">Lasting Impression</a> is for me. It was 2011 when I first discovered this wonderful craft supplies haven. I stumbled upon their online store and excitement kept shooting up! I know that the only way to calm down was to visit and experience this wonderland situated in Little Baguio, San Juan. It didn't take long before I found myself walking along its corridors. With my pupils dilated and shortness of breath just around the corner, it was a challenge looking through rows and rows of craft stash without wanting to take them all home!<br />
<br />
If you are craft-crazy like I am, Lasting Impression will
be your new fave place! Take a look of some of the things they offer =)<br />

Adrenaline rushed all over my nervous self as I greeted students last April 13 at the <a href="http://tradeschool.coop/Manila/class" target="_blank">Trade School Manila</a>. Though butterflies were fluttering inside my belly, meeting eager students and craft friends gave me a much needed calmness to smile and teach. The goal for the day was to share tips and techniques on how to make Japanese paper pompoms and paper buntings. Everybody was very warm, friendly and excited. We wasted no time and started to create handmade paper pretties.<br />

It was a joy spending time with people who share the same passion as I do. Teaching what I love doing was like a walk in the clouds. I hope that they learned a lot and enjoyed learning as much I enjoyed teaching! <br />

Meeting Mon and Jho for the first time was like catching up with old friends. Over cheese rolls and sangria, the couple shared how important music is to their lives. Mon loves playing musical instruments and Jho's voice is that of an angel's. It was important that their boutonnieres and corsages are music-inspired. With that in mind, I happily wore my crafting hat and gathered materials to create these :)<br />

From the moment Candidly Pretty was born, it has been my dream to become its full-time Craft Specialist. I have spent far too many days dreaming about this - it felt good, it felt right. However, when I wake up and I'm back to reality, the thought of leaving my comfort zone scared me so much. Being an employee has been my way of life for many years. Working for someone else is comfortable and rewarding. It has given me so much and I am very thankful. But since I found my passion in crafting handmade events, it opened my eyes to the possibility of working for myself and developing my own brand and business. This eureka moment felt so liberating but so frightening at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As inspired and as hopeful as I am, negative thoughts never leave my side. So many questions keep popping in my head. What if I fail? What if I make a lot of mistakes? Will this be a waste of time? But when I'm feeling low, God always asks me one question that is enough to make me feel stronger than before. <b>What if you succeed?</b> Failing and making mistakes are part of our everyday lives. It's part of a process that helps us grow and become better persons. It is through our hardships that we learn. So why should I let my fear get in the way of the possibility of achieving my goal and fulfilling my dream?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I am scared as I start to journey a new and uncharted territory. But I will let my fear inspire me to push forward and discover more beautiful things life has to offer. And as I go, I will pray to God that He will give me a clear vision and undivided heart to finish what I've started and reach my dreams.</div>

Hi lovelies! It's been quite a while since my last DIY tutorial post. Work and crafting has been extra challenging to balance lately. But I'm back and very excited to teach you how to make a fabric flower garter for your wedding day. Let’s get our hands busy shall we?<br />

Step 1: Sew a basic running stitch along the edge of the satin fabric strip.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 2: Pull the thread and bring both ends of the fabric strip together. This will create ruffles forming<br />
the flower. Secure by stitching a knot.<br />
<br />

ciao!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09020385727273613782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295977609462739239.post-82147814115152821842013-03-11T01:53:00.001-07:002013-03-11T02:13:23.182-07:00Trade School Manila here I come!<br />
Having been a freelance academic tutor for almost 7 years, that I miss teaching is an understatement. I miss my students, the fun and the challenges that goes with it. Teaching brings back memories of my childhood, misadventures with old friends and wonderful mentors who have contributed to the person that I am now. If I had not been a hotelier and staff analyst, I most probably be an Art, Creative Writing or Home Economics teacher. I love sharing what I know to those who seek to learn and the challenge to influence young hearts and minds. When a good friend, Geli of <a href="http://hellogelibee.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hello Gelibee</a> invited me to teach at <a href="http://tradeschool.coop/Manila/class" target="_blank">Trade School Manila</a>, I know that it will only be a matter of time before I sign up. "Barter for Knowledge" is Trade School Manila's battle cry. Students
barter an item in the teacher's wish list in exchange of instruction and
learning. There is no monetary fee to register!<br />
<br />
I will be hosting a workshop that is close to my heart - Paper Crafts for your DIY/handmade Intimate Event. It is no secret how I love crafting paper pretties. This workshop will be very helpful to future brides wanting to add a touch of handmade in their wedding, to mommies planning for their kid's Christening or birthday party, to Maids of Honor who want to spruce up a bridal shower they are planning, or to anyone who loves to DIY.<br />

To me, December is synonymous to festive and joyous celebrations. It is the month when family and friends take time off their busy schedule to catch up with stories of cheer and misadventures. But most importantly, December is when we celebrate our Lord Jesus' birth - the most special gift God ever blessed us with. =)<br />
<br />
December is a time to count all my blessings from heaven. And this year I had been blessed with so many wonderful surprises and opportunities. Aside from loving family and friends, God has opened doors and windows for me to start my crafting biz. This month has been filled with craft challenges and projects that almost made me faint with aching hands and a very happy heart!<br />
<br />
Here's a sneak peek of my recent craft adventures =)<br />

Tonjun and Gertrude are Singapore-based lovebirds who wanted to celebrate their hearts' union back home.

As always, my hands instantly wanted to get busy the moment she shared her pretty ideas =)<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cat and I spent a brief time working together at Sales and
Marketing of the New World Makati City Manila Hotel. My good friends are good
friends of hers too so when she asked my help to craft a fabric floral bouquet for
her wedding in Boracay, how can I say no?! Yes! I’m up to the challenge – Koni reporting
for duty!</span><br />

Hi loves, how have you been? =) My apologies for the very long hiatus. My November is filled with sleepless nights and has been crazy - crazy with styling inquiries, fulfilling orders, crafting, wonderful surprises and new found craft friends. It's been an exhausting but wonderful month! Just to share with you our hard work and labor of love, here they are!!!</div>
