Chinese New Year

It was Chinese New Year today and inspired, I decided to make a take-out box clutch.

I used an old oriental style silk top to cover it and I love how it turned out.

Paul & Izzy invited us over to their house to celebrate Chinese New Year in the evening.

They'd cooked a traditional feast with homemade spring rolls, dumplings and sea bass.

They'd even fried their own prawn crackers which tasted amazing fresh.

Violet looked sad that it wasn't going to be the year of the cat until I told her that every year is the year of the cat.

Tom was very happy with the fortune he got in his cookie.
