Hello everyone! We are doing very well.
I'm still busy to set our new apartment, but I enjoy it very much.
And I also began preparing for the delivery.
I made this blanket for Tomato. The inside is soft cotton double gauze.
I still don't know whether Tomato is she or he. So most of things for Tomato is in yellow...
I made the baby sling and some little gauze hankies too.
I also sewed 28 cotton diapers in Japanese traditional style. They are very simple and easy to sew. I hope I could use them well...
Now I'm making a baby quilt and some more things. During setting our new rooms, I enjoy sewing very much (* v *).
These days, I also enjoyed some contacts with some friends.
I got a beautiful package from the U.S. She made me a beautiful scarf. I love it very much (* v *).
She also sent me this beautiful pajama for Tomato. It's so cute!
I also met a woman from the U.S. She came to Japan for her daughter's first baby. We went to Kamakura and enjoyed shopping at Kamakura SWANY.
I'm very happy to contact with you. Thank you very much (* v *)!!!!
I sew and post little by little. See you!

Good to "see" you again!
Is there a way we could see the traditional diapers? Or another site or book you could refer us to?
Thanks :)
Welcome back Mai! I believe we've all missed hearing from you. At least, I know I have!! ;-)
I'm glad to hear all is well with you and your little family and the move went well. And I'm especially glad you posted more of your wonderful sewing items. I enjoy seeing all the clever things you make and you are SO fast at sewing by hand! You're amazing! Have a happy day!

Nice to hear from you again!!!!
I've opened your blog everyday!
Your blog is one of the most delightful thing in my daily life now.....My country + My city is on FIRE....hope you know where I am.
Greeting from the former land of smile.....
Hello Mai,
Glad the move went well and you're settling into your new home!
I agree -- the baby blanket is darling. I love yellow!
I looked up more on Japanese cloth diapers...they're different than European-styled diapers, but I haven't found a pattern or picture. Would you be kind enough to show us what they look like?
Thanks + welcome back :o)
It's good to see you posting again! Little Tomato must be getting pretty big 8-) When I was pregnant with my daughters we waited until they were born to find out if they were boys or girls, so I made lots of green clothing and blankets.
Hi MaiMai,
I'm so happy you posted.
Your sewing always surprise me!!

Mai, it's so nice to hear from you! I've been wondering about Tomato, and your progress. So many sweet preparations filled with love. :)
I love the yellow! I am expecting my second baby any day now and I also made some cloth diapers for her. I would love to see your traditional Japanese diapers.
i'm so happy you're back! i really enjoy reading your blog, and all your work is so beautiful. could you post pictures of the diapers? i can't believe you made 28...you sew so fast!
Welcome back, Mai! It's good to hear that you and your little family are doing well. I'm so happy to see you again, I've missed your posts very much.
I've been reading through your archives while you were away (Last night I started making a furoshiki, by hand!) and I am even more impressed by your talent. You make beautiful things. Tomato is lucky to have such a mama.
P.S. I am also very interested in the diapers you've made.

Hi Mai
Good to see you are posting again. The blanket is so cute!!
It is good you hear you are doing great and getting ready for welcoming your little Tomato. You may find out pretty soon if its a boy or a girl. I found out that my baby is a girl when I was 20 weeks (4 and a half months)pregnant.
All the best wishes
Agnes from Poland
