savouring the little moments

 ... like making roast chicken wraps with my kids for lunch.

Take a wrap. Add butter head lettuce and shredded rotisserie roasted spring chicken.

Add dressing of choice and black pepper. My son likes Dijon mustard. My daughter likes to add mayonnaise. I personally prefer a bit of both. Roll up and enjoy! YUM!

My daughter made these cute bento lunches. Garlic fried rice topped with Japanese seaweed furikake, fried chicken drum-lets, shredded chicken mayo, sausage hearts and jelly beans!

I like the sausage hearts. She made them by slicing cocktail sausages in half at an angle, flipping one half around and assembling them together with a little toothpick. She added seaweed eyes and mouth. Too cute!

I finished another crochet collar. This one crocheted up in no time because it uses thicker yarn and a bigger hook. I used Japanese hook no 5/0. The pattern is from Lulu Loves. I ended at row 4 and modified row 4 by crocheting 8 trs to make the scallops and added a picot in the middle of the scallops. The yarn is a pale yellow cotton, leftover from long ago. It closes with a button and nifty loop.
