Hey It’s me

Happy Weeekend!

Feeling nostalgic and writing.

Copy-ing the sweetest words from Handmade In Malaysia gang and take a chance to re-introduce myself.

“Hello, I am Ana.

I love to explore new things.

I started on crochet and some basic knitting when I was 14 and have been doing when time allowed it. Then, I started working as a broadcaster and continued with retail fashion for almost 10 years, in which I had forgotten about my hobbies.

Fortunately, I rediscovered them when I moved to Kuala Lumpur and quit my job. I created Anyabeya in 2012. Anyabeya is what my friends used to call me when we were young, so I decided to use it.

Anyabeya is a handmade line made from yarn or textile using crochet, knitting and sewing. I started off with neckpieces, such as necklaces and scarves, and eventually expanded to handbags and home decor.

I always try to add my signature to my work such as bows, tassels and pompoms. Anyabeya is not only handmade, it is made with love and I want to bring smiles, happiness and FUN to whoever who owns a piece of Anyabeya’s collection.

I’m obsessed with yarn, tulle, lace and cotton fabrics and they are incorporated into my work. I’m also a big fan of polka dots, stripes and PINK!

My creation is like a jar of happiness, please drop by to chat and hope you enjoy all the flavours.

Back then, I was enjoying bazaar, sell things, met people and creating.

Here’s a glimpse of anyabeya’s creation. As you can see colors and lots of colors.

Along the way, I am exploring more about yarn crafting and when my family relocated back to Indonesia, i decided to start fresh with FLAIR, the new brand that telling story about yarn crafting goods.

Exploring all the possibility and let it grow. Crochet is always be my favorite, but weaving, latch hook, embroidery and punch needle technique are the things that caught my attention.

Developing new skills, take a leap from makers to teacher as well. Yay.

Maturity take place as well and more colors added to it.

I am in happy place now with FLAIR.
