Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all mums.... me included!

Every year, for special days like Mother's Day or my birthday, my daughter will draw and write a greeting for me in an art portfolio album that we set aside just for this. I got this album from Prints and the paper is of good acid-free cardstock quality. Here's this year's entry.

She also wrote a sweet little note on a smaller card (which I will stick in the album). In case you're wondering, Buttercup is the family dog, Chubbles was our hamster who passed on last year and the fishes are the 40 guppies that we have.

Anyway, it's mid-year school exam time here in Singapore so we just had time for a quick lunch, then it's home to finish up school assignments due tomorrow. Have songs to score (for one of my real job projects) but am taking a little breather to knit a bit while also supervising my daughter as she does her homework. I've joined the current Lion Brand Knit-Along online group and am knitting a bamboo cotton tank top!

Enjoy the rest of Sunday!

My daughter's French knitting!

Busy busy weekend - sending my 8-year-old for dance rehearsals, collecting race packs for the upcoming Nike She Run, fetching same 8-year-old from dance, popping down to lend support for the dog adoption drive at the National Geographic Channel's Free Pet Shop event, collecting daughter's race pack for the Cold Storage Kids Run, sending said daughter to LOTR* children's choir rehearsal, sending husband to the airport, picking said daughter from LOTR rehearsals... Ok you get the idea!

* my daughter is singing in The Lord Of The Rings Live to Screen project in June! First time in Singapore - the movie will be screened to a live performance of the soundtrack by orchestra and choir!

Tried to squeeze in some knitting along the way. Managed to just do a swatch gauge for the Lion Brand Yarn Knit-Along that I've joined. Better than not doing any craft at all.

Anyway, here's a photo taken last December of my daughter and her French Knitting work! She had only just learnt to knit with the knitting nancy and was so pleased with what she made. We mailed a couple of the mini Christmas wreaths to the grandparents in Europe who proudly hung them on their tree!
