[ Art On Everyday Objects ]

It’s been a while since I hosted a workshop at my home studio and I’m so pleased to meet this group of lovely ladies who joined me over the weekend for our Art on Everyday Objects workshop! 😍😍

We had much fun learning about glass painting techniques and spent the next couple of hours painting away on mason jars! 🎨🫟 It was also such a joy hearing laughter and jokes fill my home studio from this sweet group of girlfriends whose friendship have span over such a long time——since secondary school days! 😍🫶

Thank you dear ladies for making time to cherish the little creative child in you and making meaningful friendship memories by painting together! My heart-tank is full——from seeing how all your cutest creations turned out ❤️❤️

[ Bead By Bead ]

And just like that, we have entered into the second month of 2026, February where Spring approaches 🌸🌼

It took me a while to adjust to the new year and lately——I’m starting bit by bit, going back to basics and painting lots of glass beads, bead by bead and putting my 老花眼 (old eyes) up for a good challenge 🤓🤭🥲 These glass beads will be part of an upcoming jewellery collab with friends from ❤️ As each bead is lovingly handpainted, they will take a while to be ready, so do stay tuned for our launch in a couple of months! 🥰

Painting is painfully humbling to every part of my fibre that wants to speed up the creative process 🥹🙏 Painting reminds me that it’s okay to begin over and over again everyday. Painting reminds me to slow down, and grow patience (which is totally not my virtue!). The slow life; hand-painting our customised and bespoke gifts keeps me humbly in check to remember the faster the world, the slower the heart needs to go 🎨🖌️💕

Here’s sharing some behind the scenes photos/vids documenting the bead by bead———slow life painting process 🥲☺️💕

Here’s a little fun upcycling craft to try out if you’re like me ~~~ feeling a tad moody and not 💯 ready to transit from Christmas to the upcoming Lunar New Year in February 🤭🙃🌸🩷

How’s everyone doing? 🥰

[ Hidden Gems 💎 ]

Lived in Queenstown almost half my life, and worked in this quaint hood for 10 years as a crafter in my home studio, I never knew we had a pretty pale green brick wall, old school stone benches with a colourful HDB backdrop and such gorgeous white ventilation blocks - ALL near Stirling Road! 😍😍😍

Pretty obsessed with them! 💚🤍🩶🧡

Met new friends located in the Queenstown hood today and got obsessed (too!!) with Zeeks and Cam’s homemade sea salt orange pound cake and coffee!!! ☕️🍰 They just opened 4 months ago and I love their soulful presence to this hood 🥰 It’s such a joyful heartbeat as a small craft business owner when I get to meet other small businesses - what more in my own Queenstown neighbourhood ❤️

Have a happy weekend ahead everybuddy 🫶

[ Flower Power ]

This old IKEA white stool has been sitting outside our home studio for a while. I figured it would be fun to paint something new on something old to start the creative energy going for the start of 2026 😊❤️

Wanted spring and summer colours to brighten up the home studio …. So here goes: Flower Power!! 🌸🌼🌺 Perfectly imperfect and that’s what I love about handpainted 💕

May the start of 2026 be a kind and gentle one for you x

[ A Decade❣️]

These pictures at our Thanksgiving lunch gathering today represent a decade of journeying with my dearest sunshine buddies who have accompanied me walking this narrow path to see our sunshine workshops and pop ups come through. There are tough days, anxious days, tired days, good days, happy days and mostly really grateful days at how encouraging words from our customers and clients gives me/us joy to go on. Words alone cannot describe how my heart feels! Pretty unreal if you ask me 🥹🥲 and 2015-2025 has been such a dream and blessing with all of you in it! I don’t take this 10 years for granted and its not that we have made it to be anything but how very far we have come 🥹❤️

Thank you ~

.musings .co .see Buay Hock ~ for making time to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together, designing a journal with me, and also trying your hand at answering our “tricky” sunshine trivia questions on slido 😁😆🤪 Each of your presence today is a special blessing to me ❤️

Thank you too for making all the cute cookie faces for our desserts! 🤤🍪 It was da best oatmeal raisins cookies that melted our hearts 🥰

Thankful that we could be Ah Ma United with the lovely team from Museum of Food collaborating this December holiday with our first tingkat craft workshop specially designed for Singapore children ❤️

I had so much fun looking for an Ah Ma top for this workshop 😝🫶 and dug out my dusty glue gun to make (many!) cardboard tingkats from scratch for all our participants 🤪❣️

What a lovely end to December 2025 🥰
Please look out for Version Two , My Ah Ma’s Kitchen in 2026! 🌟😊

With much love,

[ Craft Buffet ]

Throwback to two weeks ago in November, we spent a lovely Friday afternoon together with 89 participants making jesmonite coasters, clay food charms, designing yarn art, coffee mugs and also learning to carve on stamps as part of a corporate team bonding session ❤️

Here’s some photo captures of the creative process that our participants experienced 😊🌟 It was pretty amazing to see colleagues from various departments coming together to make time to chat with one another and craft a little something for themselves 🥰

No (wo) man is an island and I’m so glad I have craft partners to work on this project together ⭐️🫶 A big shout out of thanks to Scottie Crafts SG Terra SG Baisimu Fun With Artz Miniatures for all the hard and heart work to make this craft buffet possible! 🫶🙂 Couldn’t have done this event without all of you 🥹🙏🌟 Our last craft buffet event was in 2019 (pre-Covid days) and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity again this year to organise and facilitate this craft event for our client 😊🙏

As we approach December 2025, here’s wishing everyone a sacred and blessed time of restedness, reflection and rejoicing with your loved ones during this special festive season!🎄💕✨

🔟🧡

Yesterday was a really special milestone where Sunshine&Love turned 10 (🧡🧡🧡). and I quietly took off to a nearby beach resort to take a day off to enjoy the sun, sea and waves - to unwind from a really beautiful busy October month ☀️🌊 Initially, we wished we could have caught the earlier ferry back to SG instead of taking the last ferry at 7.15pm, BUT it turned out to be the greatest sunshine birthday blessing ever (❣️) coz we got to see a gorgeous sunset by the beach as we were leaving! 😭💛 It was a beautiful reminder the same sun that shined on sunshine & love 10 years ago, is still the same sun that shines on us today 😭💛

It was also such a sweet coincidence that my Boss Jeanette Aw of .sg released her latest YouTube episode of JA Unscripted of a glass painting workshop session we had at our home studio - this same weekend of our milestone birthday! So I actually watched the episode for the first time at the resort’s hotel room! 🫶 Thank you Boss , and the amazing crew team behind JA Unscripted for making this “Painting Sunshine After The Rain” episode possible 🌦️🌞🧡 I’m beyond amazement at how the stars just magically aligned 🌟 and to be able to watch this heartfelt episode on my 10th year milestone is such a precious gift to my heart space. Thank you so much! ❤️

Lastly, to dear friends and clients of Sunshine & Love, thank you (yes, you reading this! 🧡) for journeying through ALL the ups and downs of this 10 years with me. I’m grateful for your friendship, support, encouragement, love and smiles that has kept me going when the going gets tough. I’m throughly grateful that rough patches don’t last forever and that in the midst of those dark moments, we can lean in to love, hope and light ✨❤️

[ Meow Moments ]

And it’s a wrap for us this Oct Saturday at !! ❤️

We had such a wonderful time with all of you who dropped by to paint blob cats (and one dog!) on glass with us 🤪🫶🐈🫟 It made my heart swell with so much joy seeing ALL OF YOU trying out glass painting at our workshop activity booth!

Blobs are such fun shapes to paint and it was such a magical moment seeing your smiles when your blob cats came alive - from adding the black paint marker details 😻😻😻 I love how enthusiastic our young participants were too when they were painting with their mommy and daddy! 🥰 It was really heartwarming for me to see families taking time out to paint together to discuss about colours, what blob shapes to paint 🎨🫶🫟💕🥰

🫶 To dearest vendor friends whom I met today at this pop up, thank you so much for the thoughtful conversations, gifts and hugs 🥰 Let’s keep creating together ok! ❤️

🫶 To my sweetest friends who made time to drop by, thank you so so much for your gift of presence! Seeing your smiles really brightened up my day! ❤️

🫶 To , thank you for being such a pal to hang around till closing time and helping me with packing up! Appreciate you so much 🥲❤️

🫶 To event organisers .sg , thank you soooo much for everything 😭❤️ The late nights, the planning, the scheduling and many more behind the scenes work that you do to make this event work. Thank you for taking care of us all ❤️

🫶 Lastly, thank you (❣️) for running 101 million errands for me and for just being around. I appreciate your support and presence v v much 🥲❤️

Till the next sunshine pop up, stay meow-mazing everybuddy! 💕

[ For The Love Of Cats ]

I have a secret to share….but please don’t judge me for being part of a cat event this upcoming weekend! 🫣🥹 I am actually a dog person but because soooo many of my friends are cat owners, I also started learning to love cats 🐈💕 Please meet my ‘pet’ cats 小黑 and 小白 (whom both are very precious to me 🐈‍⬛ I wish I can hug more black cats in this world and this white tiger plushie is a precious gift to me when I used to work in the Singapore Zoo 🙂)

This Saturday 18 October, we will be sunshine-ing for a day at facilitating a PAINT A BLOB CAT ON GLASS workshop 🫟🐈 I’m really excited to launch this new workshop booth activity of ours where we will learn to create cute cats from blob paints! These non toxic paints are from Germany and after which when your handpainted glasses are fired in an oven, you can use the glasses for nacho sauces, mini snack bowls etc and even as a trinket dish!

No registration is needed, just walk in (limited to first come first serve arrival and availability of glasses) 🎨 This workshop is recommended for age 9 years and above. 10% of our workshop proceeds will go to to support the amazing work they are doing ❤️

I’m also really excited to share we have topped up our stock of limited edition wellness pins AND added in 5 new designs - just for this weekend! A restful sloth 🦥 , a sleepy star 🌟 and adorable astronauts having fun while they are studying the galaxy! 🌌 We hope these pins will cheer your day and inspire joyful daily reminders to play, smile, rest and be well 🥰

Till we see you at: FOR THE LOVE OF CAT

Our Story

“For the love of sunshine & handpainted gifts”

Sunshine & Love is a local artisan who focuses on creating happy handpainted gifts from your everyday objects. We love seeing these seemingly mundane items get transformed into unique works of art that can be used as vases, drinking jars, stationery holders, money banks, home decoration items etc. Every item created is unique and 100% handpainted.

About the Chief Painter

Amelia enjoys handpainting on your everyday objects like mason jars, plates, mugs, beer bottles, and even pasta sauce bottles! She loves seeing them transformed into happy gifts for the people around her. One of the things Amelia enjoys the most about creating jar and plate art is when her clients share their gift requests and design ideals. Each request is so unique and special! Besides individual requests, her clients include Sew Into It, All Saints Home, Coffee Today Cafe, Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, WorldWide Marriage Encounter, Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic. She has also collaborated with Terra Village, Sprout Language Centre and Chinatown Heritage Centre for festive workshops and events. Other signature events that Amelia has participated in include Singapore Design Week, Makers Faire, ArtBox Singapore, Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival Light up and URA’s Streets for People. Amelia currently also runs workshops at her cosy home studio conveniently located at Queenstown. For more of Amelia's handpainted gifts, you can also check out @sunshinenlove_sg on Instagram!
