My boy was busy with his prelim exams during Sep Teachers' Day celebrations, so he did these and gave his teachers only during graduation day (from Junior College). Baked the macarons with the help of his sister. How time flies, my boy is taking his A-level exams already, and going NS in another 3 months!
Kristine has been reluctant to tat because of sweaty palms, but here's her attempt almost totally on her own.
Here's my new tatted lucky clover design - simple and sweet. There is of course a bookmark version simply by extending the stem and adoing a tassel.
I haven't been participating in many swaps, so only these few works to show. This abstract postcard came from Lee Kirk (USA). Look felted but it's actually a fabric wipe.
Next is Paper Traders' "Over/Under" ATC swap, whereby we create a design by painting over a layer under it. Mine were easily done once I get the idea going, by sponging distress ink on a cut-out word 福 over prints of 如意 stamped with a Chinese seal which I craved during one of the library workshops I attended. I love the effect and the very oriental look!
Received a poppies card from Debra Claxton (USA) and a pumpkin card from Beckie Holso (USA).

I can't believe your son has grown up ! - it's a while since you posted a picture with him in it. What is NS? Your new lucky clover is lovely and it's really good to see that your own daughter is such an accomplished tatter - she has a good teacher!
Dear Maureen, National Service in Singapore, (commonly known as NS), is a statutory requirement for all male Singaporean citizens and second-generation permanent residents to undergo a period of compulsory service in the uniformed services. They serve a two-year period as Full Time National Servicemen.
