A couple days after my last blog post in December my Uncle Tom (my mother's brother and my god father) past away from bladder cancer at the age of 47 which is still a very hard pill to swallow.

Christmas came and went, my uncle's wake, and then is was New Year's. January was a bleak month and this weather has not helped the situation at all. The little ones have enjoyed the weather though.
My creative juices really haven't started flowing until recently.
Every year we celebrate Chinese New Year with my Aunt Maureen and Uncle Paul, who makes the best food you will ever taste. I always try to make them something special for the holiday as a thank you and let them know I am proud of my "Chinese" heritage (when I was little I used to tell people I was part Chinese, my cousins are so why am I not?.... hey I was little). This year I made them an ancient Chinese fairy door (my aunt loves doors, when she goes on vacation that is mostly the pictures she brings back), I fell in love with them after stumbling upon this website. My uncle and aunt were happy about the door.

They are all listed for sale in our Etsy and Artfire shops, and more can always be made....
Once again we had snow, big surprise... so Eoghan and I ended up making a Mega Block mini-zoo yesterday...
