Lettering in Le Bunny Bleu
Lettering Workshop by Abbey Sy

Lettering in the Morning
Hello! I am back for some fresh stories about my morning crafty adventure last Saturday at Pipino, 39 Malingap St. Teacher’s Village to be exact. I was there for Alessa’s ( Life After Breakfast ) Brush Calligraphy & Lettering workshop together with my little sister. I immediately signed up with the workshop to learn more about calligraphy and lettering using a brush & to inject a little art & crafts in my summer list.
At first trial, I have to say I got really pressured about holding the brush pen & I need to practice more. But it was fun learning the strokes, the pressures & the styles of writing letters. And I am mighty proud of my own lettering & tried really hard to write the majuscules and miniscules of the Copperplate. (teehee!)
Here are some of the photos:
My very own lettering! ❤
Spotted: Alessa’s own Lettering (amazing!)
Our favorite quotes for the day!
I super love the pies served from Pi and Breakfast Pies! 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day

This quick calligraphy is for you & to all the super moms out there! 🙂
04/14: The Hat
This is my first illustration for summer. I illustrated here one of the gorgeous laid-back style of the host/blogger Kim Jones. I love how she mixed & match the basic pieces plus the fedora hat. I totally loved it! 🙂

Hey! Summer’s really here. This is the moment we’re all waiting for. A time to have fun under the heat of the sun. A time to take more adventures together with family or with friends. A time to find good reads in a bookstore and then a little nook to read. (Aside from reading novels I do read Candy mag! #YOLO issue for April) A time to daydream. A time to do DIYs & crafts. A time to sing some laid-back tunes. A time to do stuffs that may seem a little unnecessary to do on busy days. (I actually listed some stuff to do on these upcoming free days! :)) Well, I do love summer days not just only because I celebrate my birthday on a sunny month but also it gives me an extra time to have ‘me-time’. 🙂 And I just simply need a pen, a journal, a team of color pencils & a relaxing environment to write & reflect. I really love writing long lists of happy thoughts from different experiences I went through. It was nice looking back to moments that made me the person I am now. It was not that usual ’emo’ moment but it was like an inner feeling of being grateful and happy about the challenging adventures, the brave self & the amazing people behind your back everyday.
Happy Summer everyone! 🙂
Things to be Happy About (04/07)
(This watercolor (just trying) lettering ‘thank you’ is my sweet treat for those who loves me everyday! Yey! Thank you also for the birthday greets! :))
I just turned 23 and I was blessed to celebrate my birthday together with my family & friends. I had to work on my birth day since it was a Monday. And it’s cool to be in school for my happy day because I was able to experience an instant globe ceremony courtesy of my co-teachers. (Globe Ceremonies are given to kids who celebrates their birthday in school. Luckily, I am one of them! Yey!) Actually, I did little adventures on that day that made it extra happy. And I can’t stop thanking all the wonderful people around me & God above for all the blessings received not only that day but everyday.
Here are the things to be HAPPY about last Monday:
early morning greets from my ever energetic family
opened presents from little Hannah & Ate Mae
ate my all-time fave pancit
wore yellow top + slacks + brown flats + mailman’s bag
attended an early mass (my birthday mass)

the days after…
Tuesday: Celebrated with my co-teachers @ Starbucks. Coffee time!
Wednesday: /ma-ART-eh/ Crafty Party, an extended celebration 🙂
/ma-ART-eh/
I wished to have a simple crafty party for the kids ’round the block to celebrate my 23rd birthday. I got the idea from different crafty people who hosted their own crafty, artsy and DIY parties. And I just can’t believe I was able to make it happen last April 9, Araw ng Kagitingan. I invited kids from our street for an afternoon to squeeze their creative minds and fill our space with colors. It was so fulfilling that I was able to feel the achievement through their beautiful smiles and creative-hardworking-can’t stop holding the brush hands.
This simple joy is a way of sharing my heart in making, creating & appreciating crafts and arts. And I really jumped and even dance for joy that I was able to impart ( I did my best though 🙂 )to them the happiness of creating & sharing. ( I really felt like I was Mansy of Hey Kessy & Alessa of Life After Breakfast while teaching the kids how to do the art activity! Those 2 creative bloggers are way too amazing that is why I look up to them! Salute.) I felt so much that these kids are really into it-> ART . I must say they did GREAT! Claps*
These are some of the photos from the /ma-ART-eh/:
1st activity: Paint Letter Cut Monograms
2nd activity: Paint ‘n Stamp
*Surprise afternoon snacks*
Busy doing their craft 🙂

my family
my art team ( which I kept for so long )
to God above for the sunny weather
Yey! It was really FUN! 🙂
Craft & Be Merry: A Crafty Adventure
It was just yesterday when I and my sister took the time of exploring another crafty artsy world -> Heima Brixton. I just can’t stop saying this line: “Hey!, We’re at Heima Brixton!”. (I did celebrate & did happy dance as well! :)) We went here for the Paper Club :”Craft and Be Merry” event which catered live art demonstration on Mural Painting, Paper Diorama Making, Paper Flower Making, Paper Cutting & MT Casa Decoration. I was able to note some of the possible DIY art projects in the future that really made my artsy heart jump for joy! I can say that this is one of the happy places for the artsy, crafty & happy kid like me. (Wink!) It was just my 1st time to visit the store yesterday but I can’t resist to love everything (from biggest to the littlest stuff ) & everyone (the artsy people coming in & out of the Heima door) at the event. Yesterday was a blast!
Here are some of the bee-line of photos taken yesterday!
