Welcoming Year of the Rabbit

Today is the start of a New Year for the Chinese Calendar. Goodbye year of the tiger and welcome year of the rabbit. The general concensus is that this will be a year of rest and peace after last year.


We celebrated today with a meal cooked together. I love home cooked chinese meals, which taste so different to restaurant food. The only issue is the preparation time which for us was a few hours. The food however was wonderful.

For this layout I used the newly released "Year of the Rabbit" by Studio Fhung.

Happy New Year!

Reminiscing

My eldest daughter turns 18 at the end of this week and I am wondering where all the time has gone. Looking through some old albums for photos to scrap, I found a precious photo of my chubby little bub sleeping. Just so hard to believe that this was 17 years ago.

I remember she used to sleep in the middle of our double bed with pillows all round to stop her rolling off. The cute little dress was in pink and white cotton and perfect for Shanghai summers. What a darling!

I spent the morning outside taking more photos of our garden as I am down with a virus and have no energy to go for a walk. Now I have a record of the herbs we are currently growing. I have always been one for lists. LOL!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love beyond measure...

There has always been a special bond between my eldest daughter and our Kelpie. It started when Amber was 3 and we had just purchased our little puppy. We were struggling to try and find a name when suddenly Amber came out with "Cheetah". If you know anything about kelpies you would know just how perfect this name was. Cheetah has just turned 14 and is not as fast as a Cheetah now but still has the tenacity of her namesake, Cushings disease and all.

Here are some recent layouts:

Needlepoint

It is such a joy to be able to stitch again after laser surgery on one of my eyes. First reading and now Needlepoint. My photos for today are included in the following layout which uses products from Studio Ztampf! at Scrapbook Graphics. Click on image for credits.

 

When I decided to go back to stitching, I found that I had already bought all the wools for this design years ago. I love the design by Candace Bahouth. In her book she explains the meaning of all the flowers selected which makes the tea cosy extra special.

Creative weekend

How was your weekend?

We started to clean out the garage which has been accumulating junk for years. It feels so good to toss. Now the garbage bin is full and old TV's and computers were collected on Friday by a rubbish removal company, so no more tossing until tuesday. We will get there.
