My husband secretly planted bulbs of hyacinth behind the deck and I realized a few days ago as they are blossom now! They smell so sweet and make me happy.

'Let's do what we can do now'


As you know Japan had a massive crisis by Tsunami. Fortunately my family are safe as I'm from south of Japan but unfortunately lots of people in Japan (mainly Touhoku area) lost their family,relative and their houses. This is beyond we can imagine. It's just heart breaking.. Nature sometime cruel to us and reminds us we'll never be able to dominate nature. I wish no more people are going to die and no more disaster is going to happen. 

I heard the area that Tsunami hit is very cold therefore they need more duvets, petrol, water, food etc.. Thousands of people are living in evacuation area and they don't know when they will be able to have their house back again. This is insane! I hope Japan recovers from this disaster as soon as possible and their peace comes back again very very soon.


If you are interested in donate to Japan Tsunami Appeal please go to www.redcross.org.uk/JapanTsunami.

Please spread this link people around you. I believe every little effort and help will save more people.


I appreciate your cooperation.

私たちの想像をはるかに超えた出来事がおこってしまった。
たくさんの人々が家族、友達、家を失ってしまった。自然はどうしてこんなことをしたのだろう?人々の欲深さを戒めるため?
出来るだけたくさんの人々が生き残っていまように。これ以上被害が広がりませんように。
日本がまたすぐ立ち直って平和な日々が早く戻ってきますように。

A roll of vintage ribbon and a piece of old paper. I like the way ribbon has been shaded due to its age and this little flower print is so pretty I want to to make my own fabric with it then I would dye it. Is it possible to make own fabric nowadays?
