And then my brother-in-law, Aaron arrived for dinner!
For starters, we tossed Yee Sang.

Yee Sang is like a cold salad dish. The dish is surrounded by colourful shredded vegetables like ginger, papaya, turnip, carrots plum sauce, sesame seed and five spice powder. We usually have this dish during the Lunar new year. Everybody will gather around the table and we will all toss and mix the dish together with our chopsticks. While tossing, we’d wish good things for everyone, in hope that all our wishes will come true:)

Our main meal for the night was steamboat. We got this steamboat from my parents as one of our wedding gifts. It’s like a hot pot, and we put the pot filled with soup stock in the middle of the table and add in meat slices and vegetables. If you come and visit me, I’d most likely cook steamboat because I love the idea of sharing a meal from one big pot.

Niina came over yesterday for New Years and we did some fun things together!

Like doodling…

And making softies from our doodles!
I think the sausage dog is so cute! I’m in love!

Happy Valentine’s Day! And Happy Lunar New Year!

It’s the year of the tiger so here’s a Tiger Mo drawn specially for this festive occassion! You can save this picture and send it to all your friends to wish them a Happy Tiger Year!

You can also say “Gong Xi Fa Cai” which means wishing you prosperity in the coming year!

So happy to receive a copy of Going Places in my mail!

Here is Little Mo on the MAS Airlines Inflight Magazine! A few days ago an ex-colleague messaged me and told me he had seen the article when he was on board the MAS flight. And I hadn’t had a clue then that the article had been published. I was just as surprised as him. You can read the article here.

I’ve been working on more illustrated bookplates over the weekend.

Two new designs: Little Mo and Rabbit Reader. All printed professionally on 100% recycled paper. I think they will make happy gifts for all occasions.

This concludes my bookplate series! You can find four different sets in my shop by searching ‘bookplates’. Enjoy!

I like all things green and leafy! Not too hard to guess:)

I’m so excited to show you my latest creation! Bookplates! Ta-dah!

These bookplates are all printed professionally on recycled paper with a flawless matte finish. I’m so happy with the print quality that I keep running my fingers on the stickers. I love them so much!

They are all handmade by me and packed into little packets with gift tag labels. Each pack comes with 6 sticker labels. Just peel and stick. Two designs to choose from in my shop: Garden Greens or Mouse Hugger. Enjoy:)

Snail mail day = spending a bit of quiet time to pen a letter to my friend.
