Happily Ever After

Hello everyone!

Tonight, a dear friend and colleague of mine will be getting married to her College sweetheart.
They make a gorgeous couple - both in their own ways are attractive, talented and warm individuals who are loved by those around them.
At the start of this exciting journey, I wish them every imaginable joy and happiness... but more so, I hope they will create many wonderful memories together. In times of difficulty - when they feel frustrated, overwhelmed or even bored with each other or their family circumstances, they will remember the wonderful feelings that united them in the beginning and draw strength from the experiences they have forged together.





























I know I'll be watery-eyed when the bride walks down the aisle tonight...

Crochet People

Hi there,

I stumbled upon some amazing crochet work by the very talented Allison Hoffman and felt I had to share it...

She has really taken amigurumi to a new level and I am awestruck....It is especially interesting to see the crocheted versions of celebrities like Martha Stewert, Michael Jackson etc

Here are some of her work which you can find on her blog: Crafty is Cool.

Hope you enjoy her work as much as I do!
 
Meanwhile have a great weekend and remember to give mum a big HUG!

Farewell Gifts

Next week marks the end of a 16-week journey for me. This training stint has been a most rewarding one - during this time I've had the chance to learn, observe, reflect and to be inspired or challenged by the insights and ideas of many wonderful people, professors and classmates alike.

Now it's almost time to say goodbye... especially to the team-mates whom I've spent time travelling and working with, exchanging ideas, building consensus ... though there were reservations and uncertainties at first, I've grown to respect and appreciate each of them for the value and lessons they've brought to my life.

We'll be having a little party to celebrate our friendship :) so here's a couple of parting gifts I've put together for the occasion:
