Pictures as promised . . .

Okay, so I finally dug out the camera and downloaded pictures! I haven’t taken pictures of the purse felted yet, and haven’t sewn on the handles yet, but both of those things will happen in the next few days! The baby is still on a different time schedule. Hopefully during the couple of days we […]

Home at last!

We are finally back home! We had a wonderful trip to the States, but it is definitely nice to be sleeping in my own bed again. Not that I did much sleeping last night–the baby did NOT want to sleep, so I spent much of the night trying to convince her otherwise! Oh well, hopefully […]

Time Flies When You Are Havin’ Fun . . . .

Well, today is our last day in Salt Lake City. We spent 5 days in Memphis and 9 here in Salt Lake. Whew! Later this afternoon we will fly to So. California to spend 9 days and then it will be back to Japan! It has been a blast introducing the little babe to all […]

Finally Some Internet Access . . . and Some Work On An UFO

Sewing Lesson

Yeah! I have a friend who has agreed to teach me to sew. Basically all of the sewing I have done in the past is stuff I kind of figured out on my own. So, today was our first lesson and I made an apron! It is reversible, with a pocket on each side. Considering […]

V-day Aftermath

So Valentine’s Day has come and gone. The husbeast had a horribly busy day, but still managed to come home with flowers and chocolates. Mmmm . . . . I put together a goodie bag filled with some of his favorite treats, made red curry for dinner, and made this card:Le bébé was very good […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day from Japan! Here in Japan Valentine’s Day is a slightly different concept. Thanks to a huge marketing effort by chocolate companies, Valentine’s Day has become a day on which women give presents (mainly chocolates) to men. This has become an obligation for many women. This chocolate is most often called giri–choko (義理チョコ) […]
