Where everything is handmade…
Hello there and happy happy New Year family and friends! This is probably one of the best Christmases and New Year I’ve had. Well, for one, we are spending the holidays with the entire family in Vancouver. Secondly, we have a new member in the family. My little cute nephew, Magnus. Such a wonderful gift …
Have I mentioned that I turned my studio into a shop now? Perhaps I did and I’m being forgetful again. I searched my own blog, found a post I mentioned my studio, back when I focused more on printing custom design. Other than that, I was referring online and the stationery products. My About Page was more of the invitations and …
A friend of mine bought a sketch pad and wood pen in the shop as a gift for her niece and asked me if I can wrap it for her. The pad was easy-peasy but to include the pen was a bit difficult because of the uneven shape. But then of course a crafter always finds …
And just like that… we are now 15 years! Woohoo! I know, it’s been slow the past few years since I became a mama. I have been on-and-off in the business. Especially this year when I was supposed to focus on motherhood still. Had it been we didn’t lose our second baby, Noah, early this …
Hello, hello there! First, don’t mind the title on the video, I mixed up the numbering in my studio vlogs. This is really no.12. Second, if you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve already posted this on my YouTube channel: April San Pedro. But let me share more about this here… Last January 25, 2020, Sharmane …
Hello lovelies! Here’s another watercolor painting process. The flower is called Anemone. I like this flower, although I haven’t seen a real one but the first time I encountered this flower was from my Paper Flower workshop. While I was learning what flowers to teach, I came across Anemone. Since then, I started to like …
Hello you lovelies! My body has been sleeping since July started. I seriously don’t understand. But I’m really trying my best to wake it up the soonest. Because… I’ll be having a workshop in Manila! Yep! It’s been a while. I had my first one last 2014. It was Paper Flower Workshop at Hey Kessy. …
Happy Valentine, friends! This is one holiday season that I’m not really a fan of, lol. But it’s funny because I had a lot of previous blogpost, a mixtape and craft projects during Valentine. Speaking of craft project, I just made a tutorial on how to make a Valentine card. I made this less cheesy …
Another week had past and just one more to go, then it’s August. Just like that. Wow! I had a crazy week. A productive one though. Hence, lack of posting, painting and crafting. I’m hoping I can catch up with posting this week and inspire you to do something creative too. {1} I used to do …
— Forgive the delay of this post. It totally missed my mind that I have prepared this post. But even though it’s not Valentine’s Day anymore, you can still do this simple DIY card, just because. Nothing can ever beat a handmade card for a special occasion. All the more it’s the love month; making your …
Seriously, it’s already February? I haven’t felt January yet. Although, I did feel it in a form of Sinulog, workshops and a little beach on the side {Definitely what I love about Davao. Well in the Philippines actually. It’s always summer}, meeting with clients and hanging out with friends. January is indeed the busiest month …
I’m bringing back instagram sunday again. For one, because I am very much active on @iam_artisan instagram {it’s a source of good vibes for me}. Second, because I read some blog posts today that talks more about their personal matters and it reminded me that those are the reasons why I keep coming back to their …
This year, great things just keep knocking on my door. Mostly, opportunities to share to other people about my journey in pursuing my passion. As much as I fear speaking in front of many people, I cannot missed these opportunities. Moreover, when Audrey invited me to do a “follow your bliss” story for Blissmakerie. I was truly …
If you remember when the year started, I made some changes and commitments to myself. And one of those is the commitment to draw something everyday with the help of 365 doodle project. I did florals for the first 15 days. Now, I’m trying out birds. I wanted to make it more intricate, but I don’t …
Just few days ago, my sister congratulated me through text that I was nominated for Davao Blog Awards. Right then and there, I went to check out facebook and couldn’t believe it. Seriously, it really made my day. When I found out I was nominated, I just couldn’t stop smiling. Moreover, it belonged in the Blogger of …
