Crocheted another two red packets

Thanks. It's always fun to make something for others, and teach the children the meaning of the festival as well. My in-laws has quite a big family, hence there will usually be more than 20 people celebrating together. They will have many meals together at my grandparents-in-law's house. We might not join them for all the meals, as I'll also go back to my parents' house. All the meals, I meant for about 3-4 days, as there are usually 2 day off for Chinese New Year, and most people will take another 2-3 day leave, so it'll be about a week for Chinese New Year holiday.

@TiarasOceanView There will not be many people at my parents' place, just my parents, my siblings' family and my family. I used to follow my parents and visit my relatives before I got married. But now that I have two children and pregnant, so I don't think I am following them to visit house one by one, it's too tiring. I'll be staying at my in-law's house more. My in-law's relatives usually gather at the grandparents' house, so it's easier.

@kaka135 What a happy holiday time Lee for you all there. And your parents will have many people too?

Thanks. I am planning to crochet a stuffed monkey for my baby #3. A lot of plans in my head, hopefully I will really get some time to get them done.

@kaka135 Awesome! So the animals will match together.

Thanks. Recently there is a monkey appear in the park in my neighborhood. I don't know where it came from, we saw it a few times in the park. Glad that it is alone, so it is not dangerous to us. I think the monkeys will only be interested if I put some cookies inside.

Thanks. Hope my children will like them too.

@kaka135 I am sure they will

Thanks. Just a simple gift for the children, and hope they can still use it after Chinese New Year.

Thanks. I am learning embroidery as well, it's a challenging job for me! I always spoil my own work after the embroidery, glad that my children are very forgiving. But I believe practice will always make us better. Moreover, it's always fun to embroider something.

@JudyEv Thanks. I guess perhaps my grandchildren will have those lovely items.

@kaka135 I'm sure you'll end up with some lovely items - even lovelier than those you make now.

Thanks. It's also something to remind them it's year of monkey as well. We'll surely be seeing monkeys everywhere during Chinese New Year.
