Jolyn Cheah, 38, started cross-stitching when she was about five years old, having always been interested in crafts since young. Through the years, she’s also engaged in costume jewellery-making, resin jewellery, polymer clay art and soap-making.

And thanks to the movement control order, she can now add another craft to her list – making watercolours for her hobbies, which include painting, calligraphy and paintbrush lettering.
