Happy holidays!

My mother made a cake for my family.
Merry Christmas!

Shibarikyu (Shiba detached palace)

I walked into the Shibarikyu after I watched a musical. I heard that it used to be peaceful but then many buildings were built around there. It is interesting that such a traditional Japanese garden is close to skyscrapers.

a souvenir shot :-)

劇団四季を見た後、四季劇場のすぐ近くにある旧芝離宮に行ってきました。離宮内の丘の一番高いところに登ると、高層ビル群と広い日本庭園が一度に見えて「ここは一体どこなんだ？」という気分になります。

Colorful coaster

Crocheted coaster. It took only within thirty minutes. The pattern is made up of only single crochet stitches.


I put a glass on the coaster.

New project and the park

I begun to knit mittens with Norwegian pattern. It will take long time.I feel stiff in the my neck...

The maple leaves at Hanegi park turn yellow. Winter is coming.

They turn deep red colors. When I see red maple leaves, I sing a traditional song "Red leaves, red leaves..." in my head.

sashiko kettle holder

How do I say this in English? Kitchen mitten? Kettle holder? I made it from vintage feedsack that I bought at "Cottonfield" in Kichijoji.

I did sashiko on the back side.
