Wet! Wet! Chinese New Year

Today is the 4th day of Chinese New Year (CNY). The rain didn’t stop and it is still raining this morning. The sun only managed to show itself once or twice since the first day of CNY.

The last few days was spent indoors, visited few relatives and friends as well as the temples. Today, we would like to visit some more but we are still waiting for the rain to stop. Here are some pix taken the last few days.

I thought I can make a lot last few days but I didn't manage. In between spring cleaning, shopping, sewing, surfing, etc, I only managed this few earrings, rings and a tutorial for Infinity Bracelet.
