Yes, a lot of sewing and baking going on around here. Taking advantage of the yucky wet and humid weather to do some sewing. I wish this ‘plum season’ will pass, somehow this year it feels quite drawn out… So in a way, I do not really feel ‘summer’ in Shanghai as we are missing the sun shiny days we used to have. Okay, it can get very hot here but compared to this icky weather, I wouldn’t mind it at all.

Homemade pasta, yum! I used to make a lot of raviolis when Simon and just got married but somehow after the kids were born and almost 5 years on, I never got round to making them again. The other day, I had the sudden urge to make some as those we get in the shops here in Shanghai are rather expensive and 1 pack is not enough!

Today was the last day of school for the kids. They are going on to ‘zhong ban’ (means ‘middle’ kindergarten) next year. The year has gone rather quickly. And to top that, one of the kids’ classmate, Owen, will be moving to Hong Kong so there was a bit of flurry of activities esp. for me, trying to finish up my first ‘proper’ quilt.

We took kids to the beach in the morning. Then, we told the kids we were taking them somewhere after a late lunch at the hotel. So, we arrived at the venue and was hoping the kids would pick up on hints everywhere with kids everywhere mostly wearing The Wiggles clothes on. But somehow they seemed overwhelmed with so many things going on.

Yes, it’s been rather quiet here lately. There’s so much I want to blog about but that’s now taken a back seat due to work commitments and also because I am still trying to wrap my head around this iWeb! So now, I’m starting from scratch a continuation of my other blogs now combined into 1. I haven’t gotten to importing all my old blogs since 2005! iWeb unfortunately don’t support that… (argh!) More plans for tutorials and giveaways in the works… I just need to find the time and hopefully a 24-hr day!

These days, I just feel like the days go so fast with each waking moment spent doing something. I guess you can say never a dull moment. So many things to do and projects to start on top of the usual 10 hours at work a few evening hours during the week and full days with kids on the weekend. This will probably be the last couple posts before Blogger stops supporting my blog on 01 May, and before Simon gets round to moving my blog to our own blog system.

It has indeed been some time since I managed to blog just about anything. For some reason when December started, we got swamped with work which is great of course, as it made up for the very slow beginning of 2009. So I’ve been trying to find little pockets of time in between work and weekend with the kids to do something. Our Christmas presents for the family unfortunately still has to go out! It’s awful and I’m fortunate my family has been quite forgiving about the lateness. I guess they get to have Christmas all over again… the gifts will finally and definitely will be out this week and I’m…
