Spot the Difference




I need it to be subtle, 
but can you spot it?

Give Me My Food



The food that I like . . . . .

not that stuff you try to slip by me . . . . 

I only want these . . .

Corona WIP 8



Six done, six to go. Still a long while before this gets done. I am getting a little restless and wanting to start on a new project. I am worried about having enough threads. To solve that I have to add more colours.

Kapok Tree



If you look closely, you can see the light brown pods full of fibres. We grew up sleeping on pillows stuffed with these fibres. I remember there was a kapok tree in grandma's garden.

Cantonese Lunch






We booked a table thinking it was a buffet lunch but realised when we got there it was a totally new restaurant. It was a large place but we were the only other table there for Sunday lunch at 12 noon. Perhaps it will get busy later in the day or for dinner, supper or late night drinks. There are still places in Singapore that are not crowded. 

Well, food was good and we had excellent service from a fine young waiter from Spain.

Corona WIP 7



I was wrong. The next round was not joining to the centrepiece yet. Since the last post, I have added 2 rounds. I still have 11 more motifs to add to. It is time consuming but it does look quite pretty.

New Hospital



This is the newest hospital in the west. It isn't open for business yet but it will be soon. It looks more like a new condominium than a hospital.

Renulek's Wiosna 2015 Completed



Thank you Renulek for this pattern. 

This is finally done. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 40, this measures about 19 inches across. Thank you Fox for pointing me to this challenge. I had fun matching the thread colours. The last round was a little tedious because I kept making silly mistakes.

Cassia Golden Shower



They are flowering and some trees have more flowers than leaves. A popular tree along this expressway.  It would be nice to see mass planting of this tree in a park. Imagine all the trees flowering at the same time. Experience the golden shower of yellow petals.

Chilli Lobster



This was delicious and did not require fingers to eat. I am comparing it to eating chilli crab. That would be our local finger-licking good dish.

This fusion dish was made with the famous chilli crab sauce poured over a small lobster with mantou (Chinese bun) to soak up the remaining sauce.
