I'm getting better a little by little...

Hi everyone, so sorry that I made you worry about Tass and my health...
Thank you so much for concerning about it, I received many of e-mails, but sorry that I couldn't even reply you back.
I really appreciate for your warm hearts.

Tass got well after I posted last one, but after that I haven't been well somehow...
At first it was cold, but even though after I recovered from cold, I haven't been well at all.
I couldn't move at all because I was too sleepy felt really sluggish and also felt very dizzy whole day and everyday since then.


I was very disappointed and was irritated by myself that I can't do anything.
I have been quite making customers trouble about scissors, I'm so sorry about that.

But since yesterday, I tried to reduce to have my medicines, my condition has changed a bit.
I can move better than before, I didn't need to sleep whole day, so I realized that was excess of take in medicines that I have been taking for ages.

So I will discuss about this issue with my doctor on this coming Sunday, probably this means my ill is getting better than before! (I do hope so!)
But why am I always talking about our health all the time? This is a stitching blog, though!!!

I truly sorry for the customers for scissors to keep you waiting for a long time.
I will try to do my best.

And sorry Marie-P that I couldn't make you anything for our Easter exchange.
I will share your beautiful work on the next post!


Thank you so much for concerning about our health.
Take care and have a lovely weekend.

Bye for now,

He is safe, but I am...

Hi everyone, thank you for concerning about Tass.
I received so many messages, e-mails etc... I really appreciate for your kindess.


Finally he got well from yesterday, at that night that the day I posted the last one, we went to emergency hospital as his fever wasn't ordinary, and a doctor said the treatment that Tass has been having doesn't right for this sick, but Japanese emergency hospital is just for the first aid, so the doctor couldn't do anything, just gave me antifebriles.

But his fever didn't go down a day after either, so I called emergency hospital to tell me the doctor's name who gave me good advices at that night, but they didn't tell me who it was as they say it's the rule.
That's nonsence, so I tried so many times to ask who it was, but they never told me about it, so finally I got angry with her who was on the phone, and told her "You shouldn't decide oneself, you should talk about this issue with everyone where there are, you can hold a meeting or whatever from now, I will wait, so give me a dicision later, because if his fever doesn't go down, he might die!!!"
And finally I could hear who it was, actually phone call was from a doctor himself!
As always Japanese isn't depending on the circumstances at all... always says rules, manuals, etc...



The doctor was the pediatrician who has own hospital near by.
So we went there soon, and he totally different examine and gave us totally different medicines.
Then, Tass's fever went down soon!!!
His hard cough and running nose also disapeared!!
He also suggested to go to otolaryngology to check his ears and nose, then we went there, Sinusitis was found in his nose...

If his fever didn't go down, he had to be hospitalized again...
Thank doctor, and thank god, and thank everyone who prayd for him!

But!! Instead of him recover, I've got his virus...
Soon I went to hospital and had medicines, so I hope my sick won't be more bad...
I have headache, one block nose, one running nose (lol), cough, fever, diarrhea, etc... everything he had!!
Have to go to bed, but I just wanted to let you know how he is now, as they all were worried about him.
Thank you so much for your warm heart.

I hope I will be able to be good health in a few days, as I have to work for scissors.
In Japan tomorrow (22nd) is public holiday, so post office is closed, so if I'm OK, I will send them on Tuesday.


Thank you for stopping by.
Bye for now,



[Edited on 22nd of March]
Today he said, he has ear-ache, so we went to emergency hospital again, and the result was an inflmmation of the middle ear, and he had treat... he cried, but now he is fine!

Actually I have been suffering ears problem "Patulous Eustachian Tube" for 5 years, and the other day when Tass went to an otolaryngology I had treat of it, but it was TOO much pain!!!
I couldn't move for a while as squatted down on the chair...
I'm sure even adlut male might cry!!!

Just a quick note...(again)

Hi everyone, thank you for stopping by.
Just a quick note, my son Tass has high fever from last week.
It's been 4 days now, so I think we will go to Emergency Hospital tonight if his fever keep going although he has got antifebrile.
If he is safe tonight, we will go to hospital tomorrow, too.
He had many checks but nothing wrong has found at the moment...
So I'm so worried about him.

So I can't handle with Scissors now, please please understand about this.
After he got well, I will manage Scssors, so please wait for a while.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

"Summer Basket" is nearly done!

Hi everyone, how are you doing?
Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate for you reading this blog!
I also thank every customers who bought scissors from me, I can't reply to each person soon as there are so many e-mails everyday in my mail box, so please forgive it and please don't worry, I have received your mails and payments!

By the way, BBD's "Summer Basket" is nearly done!
Isn't this soft and beautiful colour? My mum also love this sampler so much!
I left snowflakes around (actually I don't like snowflakes motives...), and also my initial "Y", so will be able to finish this soon!

Here is satin stitch part that I love!

And here is one over one part that I hate! lol

Colourful alphabets!

It's so fun to stitch along this, but I stop to stitch this for a while as I have an Easter exchange piece that I have to work!!

Take care and have a lovely day!

"Quaker Garden" Finished & BBD New WIP

Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by.
Finally I finished BBD "Quaker Garden" (Loose Feathers #19).
Yahoo! It was very fun to stitch along, I don't know why I left this for ages...
I added "2010" and my initials, what I like in this pattern is two of white birds on both sides!
Aren't they beautiful?
I love grayish blue outline so much!

I already have found the frame online, so would like to buy it soon!
I hope it will be beautiful in the frame!

How about this marbled (original, lol) linen?
I think it turned out beautiful as seeing the finished piece!
And here is my new WIP! I fell in love with BBD more and more, so I started LF#38 "Summer Basket" that Sally at Salty Yarns traded with my scissors!
She kindly kitted up this beautiful pattern! Thank you Sally!
The thread colours are very softer than the original photo, so it's like spring has already come!!
To stitch this make me feel so comfortable and relax.
Here is a photo that the stitched piece on the black lap top.
I think you can see a little bit clearer than on the carpet.
I hope I can go forward speedy and would like to order frame for this, too!

After I updated this post, I will continue to stitch this!! :D
Today finally Sweetie could go to Preschool since his absence.
And today "Curry Party" was held there, so I went there, too!
He is very picky and he doesn't eat veggies and fruits at all at home, though he eats veggies at Preschool, huh? that means my meal taste not good? lol
I hope he eats them when he grew up!

By the way, as for the scissors, some items are out of stock, and I want to stitch very much now, and also have private exchange in this month, so please let me have my own time to concentrate on stitching, please!

I will re-open my scissors blog again soon, and will let you know about details here and there!


Take care and have a lovely day!
Happy stitching!

TO : Customers who orderd scissors

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your orders.
I appreciate for them.

I was going to send them out yesterday, but my son became ill (he has got virus in his tummy, maybe "Noro" or "Rota"- I don't know the spell, though.) and threw up so many times, and now he is in the bed...
Actually I caught everything that he threw up, so the doctor said that 99% I will be sick as well... (Oh No!!)

It's weekend so I can't send the scissors out from post office as they are closed, if I'm OK on Monday, I will send them out!
But, if if I became sick and couldn't send them out, please please forgive me, and please wait for a while until I send them out.

I hope all the customers are reading this message!

Thank you for your understanding...

Lots to share!!!

Hi everyone, how have you been doing?
I kept silence as I was very busy for organizing and packing scissors!!
So not much stitching time, but I'm doing this (scissors sale) with joy!
Today I sent more than 65 parcels to overseas from the post office!
Post officer was quite surprised as he knows me well!
I will try to send e-mails to whom I sent the scissors out today before I go to bed, though if I couldn't I would do tomorrow, please wait for a news.

Scissors Trade And My Collection, WIP

Hi, how are you?
Thank you for your visit and comments, I appreciate for you all to spend time for my blog.


Today I share my scissors collection (not so many, though) and new scissors from Spain!
Photo above is my collection at the moment, I left some pair of scissors at my home, so I think I have more... like heart handles from Kelmscot Designs, etc...

These two pair of beautiful scissors came from Spain!
Pilar in Spain and I trade scissors! She told me these are famous Spanish scissors from CLAELES!
Aren't they stunning?

When she showed me these scissors' photos, I soon said "OK, let's trade!" (lol)
I know I have only 2 arms, but I like scissors, just like many other of stitchers! :)


Pilar kindly sent me some beautiful fabrics (in the 2nd photo), lace, ribbon, threads, and gel sticker for Tass!
How kind lady she is! Thank you so much Pilar always for your warm heart!!!
I really appreciate for you!!

As for my WIP, "Quaker Garden" by BBD is going ahead slowly.

But!! I have found stupid mistake, the both side of triangle which is shown a white bird in it should be symmetry, but... can you see the difference??

In the big triangle there should be only six wee triangles on the one side of a trianble, but on the left side, I have stitched ten triangles!! How silly!

I was going to go forward as ignoring the mistake, but now as seeing the photo it's quite different, so now I decided to undo... whew

When I have started, I noticed it on my post, though the linen is shown marbled, right?
But it's not original...

I accidentally have spilt water on the linen!
That was just a small area, though it was also in the stitch area, so I spilt more water on purpose, then made marbles to be like vintage look.

I don't know how will this look at the end, I hope it will go well and beautiful!

Thanks for your visit!

And Happy Stitching!

Zoo, Amusement Park AND Himeji Castle

Today Tass and I went to zoo and wee amusement park where is placed in the site of Himeji Castle by bus, as my mum went to the party of Hula dance that she is having class, so we were boring with no car.
Tass was very excited to go to the zoo from when he woke up, but I was a bit tired in the morning actually, so just after lunch, we left home.
He said he wants to wear my hunting hat today to go to zoo, it's rarely happen that he says he wants to wear hats!
It was a bit funny because it was too big for him, though I respect his idea, maybe because he is awakened to fashion???


After we arrived to Himeji Castle, we took some photos and then entered in the zoo.
Zoo and wee amusement park are in the site of Himeji Castle, although it's very tiny, it's good enough to spend one day off!

Visitation AND Mail Day continue...

Hi, thank you so much for your comments always, I appreciate for you all!
I love read comments, I love comments! :D
Today was a visitation day, so I went to Preschool to see how they are spending everyday!
So it was fun to see them in person!
Today the "Karuta Party" was held at the Preschool, and kids were very good!
Sweetie didn't concentrate on Karuta at all, and he just could get 2 pieces...
Then, he cried because he couldn't get many, lol
He brought back this drawing from Preschool today, he is getting good at drawing just a little by little. He said he drew his teachers and school bus driver! :)

Surprise gift from Italy AND My WIP

Hi, today was a super mail day!
I was busy going for shopping to the craft shop to frame and make mats for Birth Samplers, etc...
And after shopping I went to Preschool to pick up Tass, and when went back home, there was a puffy envelope from Italy in the mail box!
It was from my dear friend Chiara (no blog)!
She told me that she sent me something earlier, but it was quite fast so I was surprised!

I jumped and run into the home with Tass and opened the envelope.
Look, there was this stunning small zipper bag for me and inside it there was Gloriana silk!
How beautiful this bag is! The flower print stands out like real flower!

And this is the back side, it's also so beautiful, isn't it?
I love both sides very much, and you know this is her work!!
She is a mosaic artist and also she works for making bags!!
I admire of her works so much, and she is a very charming lady and I love her!

Inside of the bag, there is her webshop's tag.
She has her own web shop "BISYBEE" and you can find many of her wonderful works there!
I added this banner (below) on the left side bar on my blog, so you can visit her webshop whenever you want!

Thank you so much, lovely Chiara!
I really appreciate for your warm heart!

And I also received my super stash from USA (e-bay), and Tass received some books his dad, it was a car encyclopaedia... lol, I should be asked SO many times from him "Lookie, mummy, look, look, what is this car???
I know what would happen... it will never stop, whew...

By the way, I finished stitching BOAF's cat, so I was looking for something to stitch next.
And I found this "Quaker Garden" in my WIP file, and suddenly I felt like stitching this very much somehow!

The last post of this stitch was "June 26, 2007" (above), almost 2.5 years ago? wow...
It's not WIP, it was UFO, lol...

I don't know why I left this for so long, it's so much fun to stitch now!
I'm going to keep stitching this and want to finish this!!
I already asked how much would it cost me if I framed this with sample.
Uhmmm.... I think about it, but I want to let this in the nice frame!

It would be very beautiful!!!
I will also ask online frame shop about the cost.
(Sorry for the wrinkled fabric...)

******************************************************************

By the way, Scissors that I have sent as a first parcels have already arrived to some homes!!
I heard from Hungary and USA, so customers who ordered from these countries, please watch your mail box! :D

I have sent second parcels today from the post office, I sent e-mail all of them.

If you don't hear from me, please let me know!
I hope everyone will like the scissors!


Take care and have a lovely day!
