Biscornu - Atalie "Avril 2007"

Hello, how are you doing?
Thank you so much for your lovely comments for my last post.
And some friends who sent me e-mails in last few months, please forgive me not to be able to reply you yet, will find time to reply you soon.

Here are some photos to share my completed pieces Biscornu and scissor fob © Atalie.
I love Atalie's Biscornus so much, and had been wanting to make them for a long time!
This design was stitched by Atalie over dyed threads, but I didn't have them nor similar over dyed threads, so used DMC instead.

長年の憧れであった Atalie の Biscornu を作りました。
ずっと以前に違うデザインは作ったことがあったのですが、なかなか高度な見た目に手が出ずにいました。

Sew Buttons © iStitch finished as Tote Bag!

Hi friends, it's been so long since I posted the last time!

Thanks for your lovely comments and also e-mails although I'm not blogging much nor haven't been having no chance to reply you... I'm sorry about this!

Today finally I can share some photos of my work.

I had finished this Sew Buttons © iStitch which is designed by my dear friend Carol R. for a long time ago, but had no chance to finish this.
Since when I saw this design I was thinking to make a tote bag for myself.

今回遂にステッチ（手仕事）の写真をシェア出来ることに・・・

ずっとずっと前に完成していた、お友達 Carol R. のSew Buttons © iStitch 。

彼女の図案のサンプル写真を見た時から、これをトートバッグにしたいなぁ、と漠然と考えていました。

I'm still here!

Hello everyone, it's been so long time!
Since I've started my new job, I have been very busy and have no time to stitch nor blogging.
But, wanted to let you know that I'm still here and will update some of my works that I have just started recently!

After a long Silence

Hi, it's been so long!

Since I've been to USJ (Universal Studio JAPAN) on 3rd of January, a very cold day with my brother's family, I'd been ill in bed for a month after that as it was very tiring (for waiting) and I think I've done overwork for children.

But the end of last month, I've found a help-wanted ad which might be good for me and so I tried to have an interview three times for a company.

お久しぶりです！

お正月の1月3日に、兄家族に誘ってもらって初めてUSJへ行ってきました。

物凄く寒い中、朝から晩まで屋外に居たので（殆どは待ち時間）体が芯から冷えてしまい、そのせいか次の日から体調不良。

ただでさえ疲れやすいのに、無理をしたせいで1月は寝込んでしまいました。

そんな中、先月末日に自分が好きそうな仕事を求人紙で見付け、応募。

私にしては珍しい即断即決でした。

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

Happy New Year everyone!
This year I had experienced FIRST actions, one is to went to temple near by to the tolling of temple bells 108 times beginning a little before midnight on New Year's Eve.

And after that I went to shrine to pay the first visit of this year.

Temple? Shrine? We celebrated Christmas just a week ago, then Temple? Shrine?
Exact a mixed culture we have!

あけましておめでとうございます。

今年は、今までに出来なかったことに年始からチャレンジできました。

といっても、除夜の鐘つき、午前0時の初詣です。寒いのは昔から大の苦手・・・
これが今まで三十数年生きてきて初めてのこととは。

お寺に鐘をつきに行って、その足で神社に初詣？って、考えると何だかよく分からなくなってきましたが、これが日本の文化ですものね、クリスマスも楽しんだし。

I didn't like to take photos at shrine at night, so I took this photo this morning.

Midnight of today we had to let my son sleep soon, so didn't do anything, but there were free Japanese noodles at shrine and also was sold lucky charms, etc...

ちょっと夜中の神社は写真に撮りたくなかったので（何となく怖いものが写りそうで・・・）、今朝もう一度息子と行った時に撮りました。
