Talkshow & Craft Demo with Indonesian Crafter at Koloni

Last February, Indonesian Crafter got an invitation from KOLONI.

KOLONI is a one stop place for eatery & art-venture, and when you got there you are allowed to be hysterical like a 5 years old kid in a candy store because for us, crafters, that place is heaven !
Yep. I said it again...HEAVEN !

How can you feel not ??
They have great food, great ambiance, so many creative people and so many cute handmade stuff to buy and collect.

Mari Kita Belajar Memancing

Liburan sekolah yang lalu..saya, mosha dan ayah saya pergi mancing di Godong Ijo Sawangan Bogor.

Tempatnya lumayan bagus..banyak bibit tanaman yang bisa dibeli, ada restaurant-nya yang bisa nerima ikan hasil tangkapan kita untuk dimasak dan dimakan di tempat, kolam pemancingannya juga luas banget dan ikannya banyak macamnya.

Kita pergi dari jam 12 siang..tapi karena kesasar akhirnya baru nyampe di lokasi pemancingan sekitar jam 2 siang..amppuunn deehh..padahal deket banget dari rumah ayah saya yang di pamulang, kalo ngga nyasar palingan sekitar 30 menit juga udah sampai..segala GPS lah udah dibaca, sampai tanya kanan kiri..tapi karena kita sama sekali ngga bisa baca GPS..hahaha, maklum edisi lama ini orangnya..akhirnya liat peta di GPS malah bikin sakit kepala.

Mosha udah mulai bete karena dia yang paling semangat untuk mancing, sampai udah janjian sama akungnya sejak seminggu sebelum kita nginep di pamulang.
Tapi pas ketemu lokasinya..dia langsung jingkrak - jingkrak dan lupa lapar.
Padahal ibu dan akungnya udah lapar setengah mati dan udah mulai kehilangan konsentrasi..hahahhahha..lebay yaaa..:)

Bener aja..ternyata pas hari itu, Godong Ijo sedang ada event perusahaan, jadi restaurant tempat kita bisa makan hasil tangkapan ngga bisa dipake karena closed for public.
Akhirnya kita pergi makan di McDonald sodara - sodara !
Bayangkaaannn....
Udah kena macet..lapar..ngga bisa makan di restaurant Godong Ijo..dan pilihan darurat yang paling deket dengan pemancingan cuma McDonald !
Huuuaaahhh..rasanya pengen jitak orang...hahahhaha..tapi pasrah karena memang sudah amat sangat kelaparan..:)

Selesai makan (rekor banget kita makan cuma setengah jam) kita langsung meluncur ke pemancingan dan mulai in action mancing.
Seperti yang sudah saya duga..mosha kembali bete karena udah sekitar setengah jam nongkrong belum dapet ikan juga..akhirnya kita dibisikin sama petugas yang jaga kalo mau cepet dapat ikan, kita pilih lokasi yang dekat dengan rakit. Akhirnya kita huyung - huyung mendekati sang rakit.

Bener aja..cuma nongkrong 10 menit langsung dapat 2 ikan berturut - turut !
Ikan bawal dan ikan mas yang super gede..
Mosha mulai semangat..tiap kailnya gerak dikit langsung ditarik sama dia..alhasil ikannya belum sempet kepancing tapi umpannya udah keburu menghilang.

Tapi so far, pengalaman memancing buat Mosha amat seru..dia jadi bisa belajar sabar dan konsentrasi pada umpan dan kailnya.

Sedikit tips, karena tempatnya banyak tumbuh - tumbuhan, sebisa mungkin kita bawa insect repellent dan harus dipakai berulang kali karena nyamuknya super gede !

Mau liat ngga keceriaan kami selama mancing..nih foto - fotonya..siapa tau nanti jadi pengen mancing juga..:)












Sampai jam 5 sore kita berhasil menangkap 5 ikan..mostly ikan bawal dan ikan mas..
Sudah lelah sangaaatttt..sampai dirumah pun hasil tangkapan langsung masuk freezer dulu, dan baru dimasak besoknya.

Liburan kali ini kita semua belajar sesuatu..bahwa kalau kita bersabar, niscaya di akhir sabar kita diberi sesuatu yang memang layak kita dapatkan.

Minggu depan kita mau mancing lagi..ada yang mau ikutan ?

Crafty Picnic In The Zoo

This post was supposed to be posted few weeks ago yet it's still on my draft box..seems i kinda forget to upload it..hahahaha..such a well organized myself, huh ?

Couple of weeks ago, i was held an event for Indonesian Crafters called Crafty Picnic In The Zoo.

Basically the event was held for the member of Indonesian Crafters and their family..kinda the same like family gathering, in a small scale..
I had an idea to held an event in the zoo or park, but as you know in Jakarta we kinda hard to find a park that have a small pond or a spot that we can fed birds or chasing around a squirrel..hahahaha...so i decide to held an event in Ragunan Zoo and i asked IC members to brought their family too so that we can get to know them more.

It was total fun.
We created games for kids and for family..everyone was happily participated and seems to enjoyed the view..
The husbands was being so patient with us, the wives..hahahhaa..thank you husbands..
The kids was happy because no matter win or lose they got at the games, they still got pressies.

Hopefully, we can arrange another crafty picnic again..

These are some of the captured moments...








And these below are the very patient husbands helped babysitting the kids while the wives having a little chat and snacking some potlucks...hehehhehe..


See you on the next picnic..keep on crafting yaaa..:)

Tour de Mayestik Report

Like i mention on my earlier post..our handmade community, Indonesian Crafters will planning to have a trip to craft supplies market at Pasar Mayestik and we're going to have a craft swap also there.

Been planning this trip a couple of month ago when i accidentally comment about monthly workshop and i said that i want us to have a gathering together to a craft supplies market, and the reaction from other members were like massive snowball !!

All hands are up, never mind the singles cause they have time of their life..but the housewives/mothers must called their husband or their mother to arrange a time for them (the husband and the grandma) if they can babysit the children or the grandchildren, while the mummies are having their "me time" (more like a "shopping time" i think..haahahha..)

And when the day was come, i promise to some of IC members to fetched them at Terminal Blok M, since some of them didn't know a route to Mayestik, so early in Sunday morning (wow..this is a record..i woke up so effing early on Sunday) at 7 am, i dragged my feet on Terminal Blok M and fetched up some new friends, and the mission was like having a blind date..hahahahaha..we tell each other our clothes and bags and try to find each other among the crowds..so romantic, no ?

Done with the fetching job..we went straight to Pasar Mayestik to begin the shopping journey (and begin to make a withdrawn to our ATM..;p)

Let the shopping..begin !




And this is us..during brunch time and craft swap..look at those craft swap on the table, how tempting..


And this is our craft swap..the pictures taken after we swap the gifts, so this is us with our swap from other crafter..tee heee..





Wooohhhoooo..what a journey..hahahahhaa..
When our heart (and wallet) screaming "enough with the shopping while your money still save and sound !!" but our eyes and our mind and the store assistant keep saying "naaahh..that's okay, the fabric in the corner are just arrived with new pattern and design.."
Good GOD help us !!

And to keep in mind : shopping with friends is contagious !

I keep telling myself, that's it ! i just want to buy 2 meters of polkadot fabrics since i haven't got the color, and no matter how my friends seduce me with fabric in front of my eyes, i will stand my ground !
But when i checked my bag..
Yyeepp..successfully bought 2 meters of polkadot fabric, 2 meters of flowery fabrics, and 2 meters of cartoon pattern of ribbon.

So much with the promise ! hahahahhahaha...;p

But i bet we will make another round some times next week..or next month..or (who knows) couple of days later after i post this story..;p

No remorse on whatsoever..because we had a great great great time !
Definitely !
