My little elf!

Finally a break from work and crafting. We decided to take our christmas tree out of its hiding place. Nigel was so excited he helped out all the way. He was so busy pulling out packages and baubles, laughing as he hung all the tree trimmings. Not a care in the world, clustered trimmings, knots and broken pieces didn't bother him at all. If he could whistle.. I'm sure it would have been a fine tune.

Anyway, I bought some trimmings from Petaling Street (our Chinatown) and they were much cheaper but less fancier (didnt really mind that, I was going for simple and...red!). Much of the shelves were already emptied. Wow, really need to do this earlier next year. Noticed a few new colours in the range, pastels and purples, bronze and copper. Hmmm... too sophisticated for my 4ft tree. Maybe next year I'll get a bigger tree first.

Maria, Are You Allright?

If you're reading this, Maria, it's because I could not reach you via your email address. Could you update me on your new email address? Nigel and I miss you.

The School Holidays Are Here!!!

Today was Nigel's last day of school and it was a day filled with lots of goodies. What a day! With a 24-hour deadline hanging over my head, I still manage to pack a kid a sand-castle kit each and some snack food for the school party. I was expecting a lot of junk food, so I thought a healthy tortilla roll would be just nice. 3 year olds are really picky eaters, and I was happy the rolls was gone in seconds! (Mushroom chicken ham, fiji apple slices and a slice of cheddar, of course a little piece of buttercup lettuce.) Oh yes, a little flag to cheer these little monkeys on their one month holiday (Imagine that - 1 month of NO SCHOOL). With the church carnival in less than 20 days, I've got tote bags to finish, felt pins to complete, more soft toys to sew, jewelery to make...yikes and a whole load of design work. Year 'ends' are always so hectic.

Oh yes, Welcome Joy to Kuala Lumpur! Can't wait to go Christmas shopping with you...until then back to my unending load of work work work!
