Kung Hei Fat Choy!

It's party season and already this month Kitty has enjoyed dancing with the big girls at her friend Calista's 8th birthday party and special Chinese New Year celebrations at school and at Grandma and Grandad Pih's house.

I made some cute little 'Year of the Tiger' colouring books as presents for Kitty's friends. I downloaded some pictures from the internet, laid them out in a book format, printed and then stapled together with a craft paper cover. They were really easy and together with a lucky red envelope containing chocolate coins, were a hit with the tots.

We got Kitty a couple of Chinese themed books including 'This is Hong Kong' which is really nice.

Kitty had a go at eating noodles with chopsticks. She was very enthusiastic, though most of what went in her mouth was actually put there by her hands.

I finally finished this little top that I started weeks ago using a very simple pattern from one of my Japanese sewing books. Fabric is a pretty Liberty Tana Tawn remnant from The Fent Shop in Skipton. I think she likes it, although she looks pretty moody wearing it here.

Unexpected snow fall during our weekend at the Simpson's meant Kitty and Grandad got the opportunity to build yet more snowmen. Lots of fun. Hopefully a picture to follow........(come on grandad, send us a picture!)

Mama and Grandma

Over the last two weekend, both Mama & Grandad Simpson and Grandma & Grandad Pih have been to visit. Kitty really loves all the attention (and the gifts that generally accompany grandparents!) and spent the whole time with both showing off, dancing, singing and getting everyone to play tea-party with her.

We did a bit of shopping with Mama and Grandad. Kitty decided to buy a cool red sledge with some money she had. There is no snow now, but more is forecast this week. Best to be prepared.

Despite it being extremely cold, we went up to the Atom with Grandma. Bert came too. Kitty was very insistent that she was left to ramble the steep hill by herself.

Also....Peahead's band Motion Picture Association got played on new Leeds radio station Cannonball.
