I thank everyone who read this blog, leave kind comments and think of me and Bo-chan.
I'm very happy to celebrate the new year with you all.
Thank you very much (* v *)!!!!
I celebrated the very beginning of new year watching fire works and hearing whistle from ships in the Yokohama Bay.
The fire works were held in a amusement park by the bay, and it was crowded very much. So we gave up to enter the park.
But the fire works finished only in five minutes...!!!!
After that, we went to a park by the sea to see decorated ships.
I like seeing the bay. It relaxes me a lot.
It was 2 hours walk in the midnight.
I'm sorry but I don't work these days... What I made recently were only these pouches.
I'm writing the tutorial to make them. Please wait for a while.
They have two rooms in them but it's very easy to make. I hand sewed them as usual but it took only 40 minutes or so for each.
Have a beautiful new year!!!!
Happy New Year!
