It was the week before Christmas....

 Last week has been particularly hectic (and this week is no better...sigh), and I thought I'd share some of the highlights:)

1) My middle child had his Christmas Concert in school. (He plays alto-sax and part of the senior concert band.)



2) My eldest (who is in first year at university) finished his mid-terms and now on Christmas vacation...yay!

3) My youngest sister, her husband, and my mom have their birthdays on December, and they celebrated it together.

My eldest sister flew from Vancouver and she's here til after New Year!


4) My youngest did her Christmas concert at her music school.
Sewed her this jumpsuit:)


Here's the video of her performance:

Anyhoo, how has your month been like? Is it crazy?

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season:)

This is such an exciting month for you guys filled with so many incredible activities! Your Mini Me's jumpsuit looks totally fabulous and festive especially paired with her Santa hat and she really has such a lovely singing voice <3 My gosh, is she your height now?! Hope you're enjoying your family time and I wish you and yours a magical and cozy holiday season.

Thank you so much for the sweet Christmas card and origami crane. The one you sent me last year now has company over on my bookshelf ^_~

Stay warm, well and safe dear Emmy <3

So good to hear from you! I hope you have a great new year of creative adventures with your projects and with your family too. All the best for 2023! Thank you so much for being here! I have been crocheting scarves with the half double crochet rib and that's been nice to do. I would like to crochet myself a sweater this year. I hope I can do that. And of course, I always keep going with a story or two, as well!

OH! I just finished K-drama Weak Hero Class 1. Wow! some great performances. Park Ji Hoon (My Chevy in my ellie blog) who's always been a softie and a shorty (and usually a blondie) really did some heavy duty acting in this drama. Also unrecognizable Cha Woo Min from BL Tasty Florida drama did some tough acting I wasn't expecting, too. Plans are for Weak Hero Class 2.

Happy Belated Birthday to your youngest sister, her husband and your mom! That is so cool! Also Emmy, that is a lovely picture of you, your sisters and your mom. So glad your sister from Vancouver could join you guys for the holidays. The holidays are about family and making memories. So many lovely Christmas events. Your children are blessed musically. Very gifted. Congratulations to your eldest with his education. This was lovely to read.

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders. Waiting For Rain shawl by Sylvia McFadden, worn with my old Rainbow Bar&Grill shirt and UNIQLO pants In progress: Blocking:

My daughter wanted to show off her custom-designed Batman shoes she made hahaha How was your weekend?
