The things mum do for us

While cleaning one of the cupboards in the house, i found a dress mum made for Little Jane and Jenn, when we were 4 or 5. It looks really teeny weeny! With my king kong size now, it is kinda difficult for me to imagine that i was once so tiny! haha.... Hmmm... what did my parents feed me when I was small? :P
We have an old-fashioned sewing machine at home. U know, the one that has wooden frame and to get the needle moving, u  need to paddle and paddle and paddle ... Yup, that antique belongs to my mum. She used it a lot when we were small to make us dresses.  We would stand in front of her with our hands stretch out while mum measured us here and there so she could make us dresses that fit perfectly.  Apart from that, she also made bedsheets, pillow cases, cushion covers, table cloth, quilt cover etc ... 

Mum is really talented. Not only is she outstanding in cooking but can also sew well. you know what? I think i have inherited her talents because I could sew and cook too (yeah, even I can't believe this! Good thing I captured these unbelievable happenings as proves.. Pls see DIY) ahahaha... just that am still at the kindergarten level :S 

I remember that mum made me a dress to wear to a piano examination. It was light blue (my favourite!) in colour and has a blue ribbon at the neckline. It was really pretty...  And because it was full of mum's love, i looked really pretty in that dress ( although my natural beauty is 50% of the reason why it looked so pretty :P *厚脸皮*

Now that we have grown up, mum stops making us dresses... Instead she buys for us... it's her way to show her love... of course, her love has brought some tragedies too like, 2 months ago, she actually exchanged my newly purchased DREAM clothes for something else because she thought I didn't want them T___T Okie i should let the past be buried and not mention about it anymore haha.... 

Lately, mum is into something I would never buy... 

Polka dots blouse + matching bag! 
   

I have always felt that polka dots isn't for me. Ha, don't ask me why, it's just not my thing.... Surprisingly, they don't look awkward on me at all! wow, mum actually changes the way I think about polka dots! :P

Guess i will always be the little girl in my mum's eyes... she even made me a cute bedsheet this CNY. Hmmm.. I wonder what I will get from mum next CNY... i wish for a pyjamas with cute prints!

I will let you know once i receive anything from mum ya!
