I
call my parents today on skype where they lived in a small town just
outside KL, Malaysia. My parents doesn't have a computer so they can't
see my blog and my picture. I'm super excited that l'm visiting them
this year and telling them how important internet have been in our daily
life. I did webcam with them when they visiting my sister so they did
see my handmade pillow and they are happy and supporting.
I
feel so much better after talking to them. I was feeling defeated maybe
because i want mentally support and after talking to my mum i feel i
can achieve anything i want if i work hard and not giving up.
I always forget to ask my mum how she learn sewing every time i phoned her. Today,
i remember and ask her and i found out that she also self-taught and
brought herself a sewing machine just like me. I can't express how great
feeling i feel inside. Those day they don't have alot of sewing classes
in the 1950's and it not cheap. My mum have very little education as
she came from a poor family so to learn in English is definitely
impossible. So, my thought is she learn sewing with others friends and
apply for a factory job in her early 20s.
I'm
going to take lots of picture of my mum, her Singer paddling sewing
machine ( i don't know what model) and also the tote bag & string
pouch i made for both of them as i sent it via Air Mail. I haven't seen
them nearly 3.5 years since 2008. Also, the Hello Kitty sling bag i made
for my niece, i want to give her and i haven't seen her since her birth
in 2010.
This is something i want to say and hope you enjoy reading.
