Head Broken Blood Flows

I was 4 steps away from landing myself in the hospital 2 days ago with a broken head and multiple cuts. Scary!

I was washing up after dinner and suddenly thought of something and at the same time 妹妹 was screaming for me to help her. I dried my hands and walked away from the sink. The next thing I heard was a loud crash followed by scattering sound. I just froze on the spot. The kids came running to me asking me what had happened. I turned around and saw the kitchen floor covered with scattered glasses and broken melamine. At a corner was my dish rack.

The plastic holder for the dish rack had broke and the dish rack which became 'three-legged' was unbalanced and flipped . Came falling were all the dishes and bowls I had just left for drying. *cold sweat*

Thank God, the kids were not in the kitchen when this happened. I didn't know why I stop washing and walked away but if I hadn't ... I don't even dare think of it. Miraculously, with all the broken glasses flying all over, I was left unhurt, not even with a slight cut. Amazing!

大难不死，必有后福。Hmmm ... wondering what 福 is coming my way? ;)

Say, Cheese!

Some pictures of the kids I took last Saturday. 妹妹 was in extremely good mood and kept asking me to take her pictures and she even posed for me. I don't even know where she learn all those poses! ;)

She ain't heavy. She's my sister.

Santa came early

爸爸 went to Shanghai to work for a few days. We seldom get calls from him as his schedule there was very tight and was always on the move visiting factories. I didn't expect him to get us anything but look what he bought for us?!

I got a watch with changeable straps and a 3-in-1 crystal bracelet (the crystals are removable). The kids got 3 boxes of Chinese VCDs (smart choice 爸爸 cos it's more difficult to get educational Chinese VCDs here). 爸爸 said he wished he could get the whole set back as they were very cheap (S$6 - S$8 for a box set). It was too heavy and too much for him to carry. He also bought 2 sets for IQ toys for the kids which I'm hooked on too!

Thank you 爸爸 for all the presents. I knew you didn't have the time to shop buy still you managed to get all these wonderful gifts for us. We like them a lot. Thank you so much!

One or Two of a kind

This is part of what was I busy with. My plan was to make 2 pouches (shown below with stuffed felt donuts on the zipper) for 2 overseas friends that I will be meeting this coming Saturday. I sort of got hooked and continued making more but this time, I made purse instead. They were circle in shape. I didn't take pictures of it as my camera was with my hubby. I gave those away before he reach home from Shanghai.

I had some thread left so I decided to make another pouch for myself too but changed my mind and made a purse instead. I still have another piece of the complete crochet square left. I might just add on the purse and turn it to something else later. But for now, it's a purse for me. ;)

So friends who received stuff from me, consider it an earlier Christmas present. But you might still get another one if I have the time to make some other stuff end of the year. ;)

Hope you gals like it cos my needlework is not that fantastic. Hmmm ... I'm hoping for a sewing machine for Christmas. Hehehe ... Kidding!

Plus One

I haven't been updating any of my blogs lately because I was used the time meant for blogging to do some handicraft. I was so hooked on it (haven't been doing any for more than a year!), I continued making after my initial plan to make 2 only.

Will show you some of my completed work in my next post. My hubby took the camera with him to Shanghai for work, so I was not able to take a picture of all that I have done. By the time he returned, which was 1 am today, I had already gave most of them away.

Meanwhile, enjoy this short video of 妹妹 answering some Maths sums. She already know plus one for 1 to 10 few months ago. *smiles*
