Charming Garden

Some beautiful photographs sent by my sister Josie yesterday, as I can see, the Poinsettia plant has turned bright red. It is  a happy feeling to see it slowly taking up its colours, reminding me that Christmas is just around the corner.

Lush Garden

It is that time of the year again when I am feeling homesick because of the anticipation of going back home to my family place and being in a familiar surroundings with a nostalgic feel, friends, food and all. I am always eagerly awaiting to arrive home to see my mom and what has been done to the family garden. From the picture send to me by my sister, I missed those lush greenery and plants. I spend hours walking and admiring all the plants and fruit trees in the garden when I am home. Needless to say , I will also photograph all the plants that I came across.

Oh Crabby!

It's been quite a while since I have been able to update my blog, it has been at the back of my mind to pen down something but this unpredictable disposition got the better of me. Well, just the other day we went to this place for a bit of seafood, well not exactly  plentiful, but we managed to order two crabs cooked very bland, plus some simple dishes, to me I do not really favoured all those seafood's like crab, prawn or squids but my husband loves all these. Supermarkets nowadays do sell imported seafood like the Japanese Supermarket Isetan, I have seen huge crabs and salmon fish selling there and it is usually air-flown from Japan.

Hexagon Pattern Bedspread

At last, I almost finished patching and joining this biggest bedspread I have ever made, it was given to me by my eldest sister Veron, she sews most of the hexagon pattern. It took almost twenty odd years when I found it stuffed in mum's cupboard and I asked to have it so that I could continue to patch it. Well, from the time I had it until now I actually took another four years to complete the pieces. I told myself I should not procrastinate anymore. I am relief that I had it done and now it is only to put the batting and washes it. I am very happy to have completed it and definitely treasured this legacy given to me by my sister Veron.

Wonderful Siblings

Interesting things my sister Josie like to update me on, what she has done to her house and also her lovely garden. I must thank her for faithfully sending me all the nice pictures even though she is always busy at work. My sister Josie is a very active person with a great and approachable personality, though at times a bit rebellious. I  know she is a compulsive cleaner as she seems to be doing her cleaning and washing  all the time after work and whenever she is free. Thus her house and compound are always spick and span. Well, she really is a wonderful sister to have around and together with Veron and Laurence , my eldest sister and younger brother. Bravo to all of you, love you all.
