Marketing style










haiz.. just look at the way my son sit while doodling in the pram.

#dayreparent #toddler











after my crocheted french market bag is done, i have put it to good use. i managed to save the use of a few plastic bags.

i most prob will still be using plastic bags for raw meat and for waste disposal. but well, every little steps counts.

lil joy was having difficulty remembering some of the new chinese words n she is starting to resist chinese revision.

i then had the idea to do a memory game with the words tat she finds them difficult. apparently she remembers them.. i suppose interest is the only thing tat can make her remember.

She was very happy to find out tat the card game was the revision for chinese today.

Repairing Jumperoo's seat










this is the underside of my jumperoo. i reckon it is wear n tear becos this is what happen after i lent it to a fren.

i tried calling fisherprice to see if i can buy a replacement but they told me they do not sell replacement but i can try to sew it back..

it was like 1 or 2 years ago.











now becos i am gg to pass the toy to my nephew. n i got better capacity.. i really need to sew the bottom cover.

so i anyhow trace the pattern out n anyhow cut it.











use some time to decide how i wan to sew it and anyhow sew it on.

it is not the neatest job but i made it good enough n even made 8 button holes to match the exisiting cover.

a closer look?

i wouldn't say it is a zero waste project but i am glad it gets alot more use before it goes to the landfill. the next kid will be the 4th kid having a few mths of jumping fun from it.











n while my sewing machine is out. i sew some overdued pacifer clips for my nephews.

Shit Scare

I tot i shall not post the pics of the happening..

Shit happened.

Jr J had 2 episode of black stool for the last 2 days n i rushed him down to the clinic.

Finally the dr on the 2nd day told me only black n tarry stool indicates internal bleeding. Haiz... the drs in the previous episode only kept asking me if it is real black only.

Anyway i was glad it was a false alarm but pissed that my hrs were wasted.

I am hoping to get into a good routine.













We r now into cold brewed tea. Loving it.. haha.. maybe i shd try cold brewed coffee too..

New Year 2018











Happy 2018...

We started the year spending quiet time at home.

Finally finished the lepin campervan before school reopens tmr. Just need to make a box to box it up as a pressie. Haha..













Lil Joy was saying tat we nvr had picnic b4. But weather has been wet so i decided to have a picnic at home instead.

It was a success... Jr J just whack the fruits and lil Joy had multiple servings of bread.













I tried to make a new type of market bag but decided that the one by #twoofwands is still the best.

So here i am starting the bag in a new color. This time.. i will use the correct stitch.
