Chinese New Year







Well it is fast approaching, I have posted all my small gifts to my friends who will be celebrating the New Year. Annoyingly after I came back from the post office I realised I hadn't taken a photo of the rabbit I had made! Doh! Oh well will have to make more.
I have just been on www.theholidayspot.com to see what the Year of the Rabbit will be bringing for us, and it doesn't look too bad -
A placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year.

Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.

A time to watch out that we do not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.

Law and order will be lax; rules and regulations will not be rigidly enforced. No one seems very inclined to bother with these unpleasant realities. They are busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others or simply taking it easy. The scene is quiet and calm, even deteriorating to the point of somnolence. We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible

Money can be made without too much labor. Our life style will be languid and leisurely as we allow ourselves the luxuries we have always craved for. A temperate year with unhurried pace. For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.
The money bit sounds good!
Whilst browsing I found a blog called asianmommy.com and she has some fab links to these really cute New Year Bunny cakes!! I don't know how you'd be able to eat them, there so cute! Also on Amazon you can purchase this uber cute Hello Kitty! Shes dressed all ready to bring in the New Year!
I then found some amazing New Year Pictures by different artists on Petshopstudio.com, there are some very talented people out there! My favourite was this cute bunny in this floral wreath, I found it peaceful to look at! It has been done by the artist gi-chang, uber talent!
Then on vintagemugs.com, I found this Bunny mug, which I think is adorable! Apparently it is from the starbucks collection!?! I must pay more attention the next time I go in one!
So to everyone in preperation for Thursday, Happy New Year!! 新年快樂
