Ribbon Day

I have been sent a magazine from Optus every month.

These magazine are very beautiful

and I like to read and look them.

One of recent one, there are a lot of

Christmas cooking and decoration.

One of the photo,
beautiful ribbon was used as wrapping cake.

I checked where the ribbons come from,

and found out it is from kikki.K


Good timing!! I got e-mail from kikki.K about 15% off only on 25th Nov.

I went there and I found the ribbons.


I also got a sale catalogue from Spotligt.

I went to see if there is any pretty ribbons.

Yes, I found them.



I am looking forward to using them soon!

Handmade Birthday party Invitation

My older daughter will turn to 6 yo next months.

That is so quick...no wonder I get old.

I like to have birthday party in our house rather than somewhere else.

Because birthday is a bit personal thing.

My house is small so we can't invite many friends but we already told to my daughter that you can only invite 6 or 7 friends.

Anyway, I have to make invitation card.

I love fabric but also love paper.


My sister in low in Japan, she sent me a pretty letter a few years ago.

I copied this pretty letter to make invitation.

Firstly I cut papers into flower shape, that will be a main part of the card.

I have some craft punches, so I used them to make colourful Sakura shape.



Then, I wrote the information of the birthday party in the card.



Hold it........., so pretty!




I made envelope by tracing paper so that you can see through the frower card.


Handmade card is fantastic, isn't it!

Fabric Addictive

I am a VIP member of Craft shop, SPOTLIGHT.

They send me a event letter about Christmas shopping night.

So, I must go!

but I always buy fabric or other every time I go there.

I promised that I would go there tonight but only having a look.

There are a few stalls that demonstrate how to make Christmas card or ornament, etc...

One of them, she was making pretty card.

I stopped and chat with her and other customer.

She gave us a plastic bag decorated by Christmas ribbon as a free gift,
that has many craft material in it.

I felt very lucky!



then I felt guilty if I didn't have a look around a shop.

But, again, I promised, just looking.....

However, my legs went toward to fabric corner without thinking!!!

I couldn't help.

I found a pretty dots cotton fabric.





Another person of my brain told me that "you don't have time to make with so many fabrics you have bought!!"

Well, I am happy just looking fabric!

Thank you effect

I like to do things making us happy♪

Now, what I have been trying is ,

when I finish the last patient, cleaning the room.

It is the things everyone to do
but mine is a little bit different from others, I guess.

I am trying to say "thank you very much" in my mind
when I wipe and clean the ultrasound machine and probes.

At the beginning, which is a few months ago,
I felt a little bit obligated but now I feel "thank you" naturally.

Then when I get the car to go home,
I really appreciated my work and it makes me feel so happy.

I have been realised "thank you" is very important
not only for someone, but also things we use everyday.

Thank you for everything!

Handmade girl's hat ++Linen X Linencotton++

I have thought I wanted to make a hat by flower pattern fabric for a long time.

Finally, I made it today!

It is reversible, outside is flower fabric



and inside is simple linen fabric.




I copied the pattern from one of my favorite craft book "Craft Cafe Kids".

I thought it would be difficult but it wasn't.

It took me only 3 and half hours.

However, it is too big for my daughters,



so, I will sell it on the Maker's market.

Soybeans?

My daughter seeded soybeans as a part of education in the Japanese Saturday school.

When I heard it, I was impressed with Japanese school,

because they would be had with beer!

Anyway, I was looking forward to have them with beer.

They have grown a lot for the last couple of months and started to come into bearing.

Unnnnn~looks like SNOW PEA??



I checked my daughter's school note and

It said,
SNOW PEA........,

Well, it was my mistake, but disappointed a bit.



However, they are certainly organic and tast yummy!
