Miyu is growing up!!!!

Miyu
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,
Miyu, her new pants
a smock,
Miyu, her new smock

and a hairband.
Miyu and her friends

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.
Miyu, with her elderly friend

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!!!!

Miyu is looking so pretty. It's good to hear that you are doing ok and the scheme where older people and mothers and babies get together sounds like a wonderful idea. Especially if you are infecting them all with your wonderful sewing.

Miyu is so Kawaii! I'm glad you and your loved ones are safe. I'm sure you and Miyu are making people feel positive with your warm hearted gesture of teaching them to sew for their babies! We are all praying for Japan! Ganbare!!

So glad to see that you are enjoying your life with Miyu. I think of your family often with Japan being in the news every day. It's wonderful that she spends time with elderly people.

Miyu is such a pretty princess!!!! I am happy to hear you are fine. We also follow the news and think about people in your country a lot.
I have been taking part in a project aimed to construct 1000 cranes (is this the correct word for the paper origami bird????)so a wish can come true. Our wish was for your people to be safe and for your country to recover soon.
How nice of you to spend time with the elderly. They need to be around babies a lot!!!

Katie said...

She is such a darling! I'm glad you and your family are safe and getting on with your usual life. I think it's such a great idea for Miyu to be near elderly all the time. It's good for children growing up!

Having a place specifically for older people to spend time with babies is such a cool idea. I love so much about Japanese culture, I want very badly to come visit someday.

Miyu is cuter than ever, and your photography is really good, Mai. You take very beautiful pictures all the time! Especially with such a pretty little subject.

I hope everything is better for Japan soon.

galpal.hi said...

Miyu is getting to be more and more beautiful every time you post about her. You can tell that she is well loved.

I wish that I could learn how to sew the baby clothing too.

Oh my goodness, Miyu is such a darling little girl! She looks like she's a very happy baby, and I love the things you make for her.

I'm also glad to see you bringing her to meet older people. That's such a wonderful thing for them to experience! Babies can bring so much joy to people. You're a great person for doing this.

Our Memories said...

Your little girl, Miyu is so adorable. I first stumbled upon your blog whilst I was looking for sewing instructions for a pencil case - btw, your instructions were really good. The recent unfortunate event in Japan is indeed very tragic. No doubt everyone around the world feel for all who have suffered in this tragedy. I hope everyone in Japan whether directly or indirectly affected by this recent tragedy will hang tough and stay strong. Whilst you continue to appreciate people around you and make more nice things for us to envy as well as to learn. Take care and stay safe!

CHE said...

Dear Mai, Miyu is such a beautiful little girl, her eyes shine like stars. The clothes you made for her make her the cutest little girl.
I am still very worried about everything about the disasters in your beautiful country but I am happy to know that you all are allright.
I am delighted to read that you go to meetings with elderly people, that gives me hope for the future, I am so fond of children and perhaps I can meet babies and little children when I am old.
