How PASSIONS was started
Finally, it's here.....I hope I am able to use this space to show case items that i've made to all my friends who constantly ask....where can I view your items ? when will your website be ready ?Let's see how far this one goes.
A little history about Passions Craft. I've been exploring and trying my hands on different crafts since i was 8 years old. Am fanatic of cross stitch, embroidery, beading, quilting, stumpwork, and lots of other things. 3 years ago, i started to create accessories with encouragement from few friends. I started off from scratch and i can still re-call that i went all around town to look for little 'parts' that i can put together. In just few hours, my purchase of a small bag came up to close to RM1000 and that's a lot of investment for me not even knowing where to start ! I am clueless. That night back in 2006, i started to make my 1st pair of earring and bracelet. I got excited with my creation and showed the item that I made to my friend. Was pleasantly surprised that she asked me to make 30 pieces for her to sell ! This indeed is a good start for me. Still not satisfied to know if my designs are good, i continue to make few more pairs of earrings and showed to my friends. They bought all the stuff that I made !
It took a while me a while to realise that people are really buying my stuff.....but there are so much to be done. Think of designs to make, packaging, pricing.....all these requires time and effort.
Before I continue further, i praise and thank GOD for giving me the wonderful skills out of the blue. Jewellery making is something that I never thought that i can do. It's still a wonder to me after creating different items and pieces for the past 2 years.
