Happy Halloween!!!!

Hello everyone.
We're doing very busy and happy (* v *)!!!!


Miyu is 1 and 2 months old now and speaks a lot these days.
Her first word is "Papa" and now can say "Mama" at last.
She likes playing with Papa.


Her most favorite play is drawing. When I want her keep quiet, I always give her pens and paper. Or, give some baby snacks.

I want to open my ETSY shop again because I can have little time for me at last.
From her birth, I couldn't have my time and could do only matters for my family.
But I want to enjoy my life like before so I decided to open it again. It's very happy for me.


This time I got some Japanese fabrics and notions. They are all my favorite items.
Here are some pictures.
I think you could enjoy with them.




This is my bag with my hand carved stamp. I stamped it on a piece of leather.
I enjoy carving stamps with my friends these days. Next time I'll show you what I　carved these days.


See you again soon!!!!

Two weeks after, she gets 1 year old!!!!

Hello!
We are doing very well, happy and busy.
Miyu is very big now. But because of her weight, still she cannot move so much.

My mother sent me some pieces of beautiful fabric and I made a new shirt for Miyu.



She is so cute in it!


I love it so much. So I made her swim suits with the same fabric.

They were small and I could make them in several hours.

The boy is her friend. I like his cute face.


After they played in the small pool, she got tired and slept well.


These days her most favorite playing is drawing.


But she eats her crayon after drawing...


Everyday we go out and meet our friends. She likes playing with her friends and their mothers.
I'm very happy with her and Haru. They make me smile every day.


But I have a small problem.
Miyu likes my PC too much... So I cannot use it while she is awake.
My sewing and PC time is after she falls asleep...

A festival day

Last week Miyu enjoyed a festival at a shrine with her friend.
There were lots of food and game stands.



Goldfish scooping stand. People get goldfishes with a very thin paper scoop. Miyu's friend's papa tried it but couldn't get any.


Corns.


Takoyaki, octopus dumplings. Each dumpling has one small octopus.


Shooting game.


A float.


An old storehouse.


The stands are on the narrow street. Oh, most of streets in Japan are narrow...


Miyu is getting bigger and bigger... I cannot believe she gets 1 year old after two months. Time passes too fast for me.

See you!!!!!

Strawberry hats

I saw a cute strawberry hat at a baby wear shop but it was too expensive for me. So I made it!

I used a free pattern of turip hat and put leaves on the top.

But the first one was too small for Miyu. Her head is too big...
So I made the second one with a little bigger pattern.
But it was still small for Miyu...
Then I made the last one. Finally it fits Miyu very well!


Miyu cannot wear the first two, so I gave them to my friends (* v *)!!!!
The smallest one is to a newborn boy. The midium one is to one of her boy friend.


Miyu has another cute hat that my mother knitted. It fits her very well.


I also made a bow hair clip.


I enjoy sewing small things for her while she is sleeping. It relaxes me a lot.


Miyu is 9 months old now but she doesn't move so much... So many her friends come to her, hug and kiss her (* v *)!!!!

Our life with lots of friends

Miyu is 8 months old now and several days before she rolled over for the first time. Maybe it's because she is too big, more than 10 kg already.


So most of her friends want to get on her, because she doesn't move...


We stay at a big house usually.
Lots of elder people and babies come and enjoy together.


A day I taught an italian recipe which I learned when I stayed in Italy. We enjoyed the lunch very much. When I stay at home the lunch time is very busy, but when I stay here, I can take my time. Because someone helps me holding Miyu.


These days I'm teaching hand sewing for my friends. They enjoy making clothes for their babies.

I made these pants,

and this skirt. The pants is with SWANY's pattern and the skirt is with Japanese free pattern.


We are happy with our lots of friends.
When I think of the earthquake and the people of the area, I always feel I'm too lucky. I should do something continually, what I can do with Miyu.

I planned a short trip at this weekend with our both parents. They live very far from us, so they cannot meet Miyu so often. So they are looking forward to meet her.

See you (* v *)!!!!

Miyu is growing up!!!!

She is 10kg now, the biggest baby around us.

After the earthquake, our life has a bit changed.
First of all we see lots of scenes of the disaster in TV every day. And they tell about the accident of the nuclear power plant.
I don't afraid of it too much but I'm worrying about the people who works in it now.

We have less electric power because the nuclear power plant and also we lost some thermal power plants.
So we have less trains and shops has less lights and close earlier than before.
The life with less electric is a bit inconvenience but we can notice how it's important for us.

But we still enjoy our life so much.

I teach how to sew baby wears to my friends.
We've already sewed a pair of pants,

a smock,


and a hairband.


I didn't expect that younger mothers want to sew. But now they enjoy sewing so much.

These days I frequent a big house where babies and elderly people get together.
Because we live far from our parents, I want Miyu to meet elderly people as much as possible.


After the earthquake the place got more important for us because we don't want stay home alone. We can talk with other mothers and eldery people so we can relax and forget the disaster.

I'm happy with many people around me (* v *)!!! Of course, with you all!!!!
