Little Things in the House - 家。 生活小物

"A house is made of bricks and beams, a home is made of love and dreams". 不晓得在那里看过这一句美丽的文字了。但我把这一句话牢牢的记在心里面了。现今有许多人都会雇佣设计师帮忙构思，设计甚至佈置新居。很多时候设计出来的样子，是真的好漂亮，很华丽，就像个样品屋。但是，给人的感觉是冷冰冰的。不晓得住在里头的人快不快乐，因为房子里的每一件东西都摆放得非常的整齐，好像都不可以随便碰。让人很不自在。至少我是这样觉得。虽然，我明白每一个人对舒适的感觉各有不同。

家对我来说我不止是一个批护所，它是一个经营[爱]及[梦想]的地方。房子会因住的人而呈现不同的味道。所以有人会形容某个地方有家的味道。：）家的味道是要一家人一同用心打造的。我会努力的让自己的家保持着爱的温度。

一位朋友不久前迁入新居，要我帮她的房子缝制一些小物。冰箱门把套和房间门把套。我跟她说这些东西应该很容易在大卖场买得到。她说那不一样，尺寸有差，套起来不会好看。这位朋友果然用心。我相信她的家一定很有温度：） 可以帮她一点小忙，是一件幸福的事。

愿大家每一天都可以与小小的幸福相遇。

Zentangle Art 禅绕画

I attended Zentangle art class with my girl during the December school holiday last year. Just realised that I haven't shared about it here. It was really a wonderful experience.

Zentangle is a form of art that is easy to learn, no complicated techniques and tools involved. Even a child can do it. The founders of Zentangle, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas said "Anything is possible, one stroke at a time". Structured patterns is used to create beautiful images in Zentangle. Zentangle helps to increase focus and at the same time relax our minds. No eraser or ruler is required in performing Zentangle. Similar to metaphors of lives, there is no 'eraser' to erase what we have done. Just follow the path and we will find our own ways. No right no wrong in Zentangle. Just draw it :) Everyone is special, so does Zentangle piece, each and everyone is unique and beautiful.
