I originally designed this flag in late 2021, minus the Canadian maple leaf, with feedback from NAVA’s Flag Design Gauntlet (Interest Area Meeting), to represent the Vietnamese diaspora— because the flag of the Republic of Viet Nam (RVN, also known as South Viet Nam) that members of the diaspora have used since 1975 was being regularly co-opted at extremist events, like the January 6 United States Capitol attack. However, I was strongly warned, against the idea as many of the diaspora were still willing to die for that RVN flag that the current Communist government Viet Nam would love never to see again. It was sound advice that I had not expected to be so strong, but I understood well enough to heed.

MAPLE Mittens and CANADIAN Winter Gift Set
I recently devised my own way to make double layered mittens where all the seams are on the inside after inversion. The double layer also allowed one for show on the outside, like with spandex of many funky patterns, and one for warmth on the inside like with generic fleece, or both of fleece for warmth. I did the latter and added a matching double layered tuque I also devised my own way of doing with similar principles, to make a “Canadian” winter gift set for a friend who happens to have the same head and hand size as me. Very convenient!
