Mother’s Day
Craft, Life, Photos May 13th, 2007Usually I don’t do much for my mum for Mother’s Day, but this year, I decided to make her a little something. It’s a little crocheted “egg” that’s supposed to represent myself, the little egg that she had nurtured into this 21 year old chick.
… *is lame* :P Anyway, pictures here (are we allowed to direct link to flickr? O_o):
Interesting family-history tidbit: My great grandfather (on my mother’s side) was lynched to death by a bloodthirsty mob of peasants during the rise of the Communist movement in China. They were incredibly against the idea of anyone being a “landlord” and would violently seek out those who owned land. It was unfortunate that my great-grandfather was caught in it all as all the land he owned was a shabby little shop that sold timber to people.

We’ve had our mothers day, and are about to go for fathers day. Unfortunately for my parents they get rather the same gifts year in and year out (rarely home-made!) and I always opt for a funny card.
we are :D I’m singing for my mom tomorrow. It’s a song called “You Raise Me Up”. This is because she raised me from a baby to the huge monster that she now owns :P
Waii, that’s so cute! Still have no idea what to do for my mom, and Mother’s Day is arriving in six minutes! @_@
Goodness, that’s terrible (about your great grandfather)! Stories like that upset me really easily. :( No interesting family trivia myself, except my grandfather was about 10 during World War 2. He sold newspapers and witnessed the Bataan Death March.
I’ve seen thousands and thousands of people direct-link from Flickr. I think there’s even a code there for you to do it or something.
Also, cool egg and I see a pretty-looking grey scarf underneath! Awesome!
hehe my mum got chocolate :) i’m so beyond creative sometimes!
Oh dear I guess I should call my mom…
Anyway egg looks super cute ^_^.
Can’t see the pictures… but perhaps it’s blocked at the school I work at…
But whatever it is, I’m sure it’s great! At least that’s better than a bunch of orchids I bought for my mum. I never know what to get her other than flowers and money.
And that is shame that your great-grandfather had to suffer through that… X_X;; Human’s behaviour baffles my mind.
That is an adorable little egg+chick. :) I wish I could crochet like that! The most I’ve managed are a few chain bracelets.
Wow, that’s a creepy bit of family history. I’m sorry such a thing happened to your great-grandfather. It’s always crazy to hear of things like that happening to anyone, let alone someone related to you.
That is so cute! =D
What an awesome Mother’s Day gift! That’s soooo cute. I’m so envious of your skillz.
Wow, that’s crazy about your great-grandfather. Still, he was probably a baller - he probably maimed tons of people before he died. At least, that’s what I’d like to think. Either way, I’m terribly sorry that your great-grandfather died in such a horrible death. Ugh.
