Chinese Astrology

Are you a pig or a tiger? LOL
  Have you ever looked up your Chinese zodiac symbol? I came across an article recently that said we are currently in the year of the dragon. This has led to a surge in pregnancies among the chinese as it is considered the best time in the calender to a lucky dragon baby. Falling into this category myself (not by planning though) I spent some time this morning looking up our family signs using THIS site.

I am an OX (metal) and pretty much everything I've read on the Ox page is spot on for me and my personality.
OH is a Pig (water) and again this page could have been written about him! He is truly generous to a fault, and I can certainly agree with the idea he is a spender and not a saver lol.
DD is a Tiger (metal) and I am certainly seeing some of the traits on her page starting to shine through.

 It is amazingly close how these pages have got to the way we think about each other. Have a look if you fancy it and leave me a comment with your views on what you found out.

This little outfit was one of DD's birthday presents. The camera hasn't caught how beautiful the fabric really is, but if you've ever seen Chinese silk fabrics then you can guess how stunning this looks. But why, I hear you ask, haven't you shown us a picture of your DD wearing it? Well, because every time I put clothes on her and the moment...............
.... this happens. I've been assured it is just a stage most kids go through, but I'm praying its a short one. You don't half get some funny looks in Asda pushing a nude baby around in a trolley.

This photo is of another birthday present. This time from my mum, every year she makes DD a new quilt, and this is her quilt for this year. I love the spring colors and fringed edges. It's backed with fleece so it isn't to heavy for the warm weather at nap time. As you can see DD is in complete love with her new blankie and your lucky I managed to get a snap of it at all.
A close up at some of the detail on DD's quilt. The flower and the leaf boarder are just lovely. The quilt also has hearts, stars and DD's initials. I wish fabric wouldn't run from me screaming and I could soak up some of Mum's talent.
Oh well I best run off an make DD and me some lunch before I cause a tantrum. Seeing as she's still in the nude I'm going to whip up some beans on toast. If she gets to messy I can pop in the bath for a cool down and a clean up.
