Purple Ballerina Bag ~ 甜美的紫色包包

Using the same fabric as the ballerina handmade book I made a tote. I just couldn't get enough of this fabric haha..Oh ya, and I have to keep some of this fabric to make a pencil box later. A friend wants a pencil box for her little angel. :)

I'm finally back at my workstation making and sewing stuff after the long 'sick leave'. I'm so excited and looking forward to making more beautiful and meaningful projects. 

Wishing you all have a wonderful day and may you find happiness in little things in life.

Ballerina Handmade Book ~ 紫色芭蕾舞女孩手缝书

The work of this project can finally be resumed after quite a long while. 

A friend has requested for four handmade books with ballerina theme. It's a gift for her daughter's best friends in school. These girls will be going to different schools after the end of this school year. So this mother is hoping to give each of the girls a gift as they have been such a great companion to her daughter all these years. Such a lovely thought!

I have this lovely ballerina fabric which a friend help me to buy in the US and it's just perfect for this project. Love the sweet lilac and I think the girls would like it too.

Am starting slow after appendix surgery. It has been a month since the surgery. Recuperation is rather slow, the body is weak post surgery. I am trying my best to get back into my regular routine as soon as possible. I told my body no point for the pain anymore, the wound will be healed eventually and thankful for the healthy new tissues that regenerate after the surgery.

I feel much better this week. Made a few fabric coasters for the house. Have been wanting to make them but it always being adjourned for other projects just because it is simple to make and so I thought I can make it anytime. We always make time for bigger things in life, and forget the little things. And thought we can easily fit it into our busy schedule with no sweat. But that time never come. Have you been adjourning the little things in life? May be it's time to make time for it. Live now, live in the moment.

A Lesson ~ 领悟

啊，十月份了。九月的日子似乎悄悄的在我卧床休养的时候溜走了。

我有好多朋友及家人都在九月份生日，是一个非常热闹的月份。然而今年的九月比较特别，特别的难忘。庆祝完外子生日的那一个午夜，肚子突然出现激烈疼痛，痛得无法入睡。一方面想到是午夜了，如果要去诊所，有些麻烦，孩子们又是熟睡了。另一面又痛得很激烈，深怕无法撑下去。突然，想到朋友不久前教我放松的呼吸法。就开始吸口气运用起呼吸法调整呼吸及思绪。很神奇的，虽然肚子还是很痛，但是感觉身体（或意识）已经可以不被那疼痛所控制了。好妙！我就这样撑到第二天早上。。。

医生诊断是急性盲肠炎。要马上入院动手术。在等待手术期间，我都不断的运用呼吸法减轻疼痛。完全没有用止痛药。医院的护士小姐还非常的关心问我确定不要打止痛药吗？ :)

出院两个星期后又生了一场病。感觉老天在短时间内给了我好多的功课啊。我呀领悟到生活劳动的苦怎么也无法与身体病痛的苦相比。身体病痛时，样样都要麻烦别人，非常的不方便。这种苦啊远远大于劳动的苦！所以我说可以劳动真的是一件非常幸福的事！感谢老天给我上了这一堂宝贵的课。

休养期间，身体很虚弱，很多事情都做不了。但是忍不住还是动手做了一些小手作。小小的劳动却带给我大大的快乐！


P/s: 有兴趣知道呼吸法的朋友看这里 ~ 8拍吸气，把肚子吸的满满，16拍慢慢用口吐气，越慢越好。
