About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Mother's day

I think my mum is a big fan of our artwork. When we were younger we used to make her mother's day cards. We made them thinking it's gonna end up in the bin like within the next 5 seconds. But being kids, we did them anyway.

And she being mum, accepted them anyway, never said it's ugly and never threw a single one away. She laughed at my sis idea of sticking green beans on her mother's day cards though. But kept them to this day, with the green beans!

Years passed and we grew older. Somehow, we thought cards were childish and stopped making them. We saved up and bought presents for her. But I think she liked those childish cards more.

So this year, my sis and me got together to make this.

Yea, us hard at work. You know you're not a kid anymore when you start co-ordinating colours, thinking of what colour goes with what colour before starting to paint instead of just sitting down and starting to paint what you like.

The end result looks like what a normal butterfly would look. Like we saw a luminous green horse that day, how I envy the child's creativity and boldness. I wish I took a pic of that green horse, looked so neopets-like. I think horses look pretty in neon colours, scientists should do some research and make us some neon coloured horses!
