Hana Fukin

Last night when I turned on TV, a crafty show showed us how to make Hana Fukin, or a sashiko stitched Japanese cotton dish towel.The next chinese zodiac year is a rabbit year, so an instructer taught us how to make a rabbit stitched tea towel. I' ve been watching a Korean love comedy drama called " You're beautiful". In the drama, a stuffed toy rabbit which has a pig shaped nose sometimes appears. It 's so cute, so I wanted to stich like it for the cotton towel, but I changed my mind. It turned out cute, anyway. Arrrrggg??? It's already have some stains!!

Getting shabbier..., but I couldn't throw away....

I made this reversible tote bag about two years ago. I used a cheap US flag printed bandanna for this side with cheap quilt batting. I sashiko stitched with some sashiko threads for the other side. I wanted to make a sashiko stitched dish towel for the other side, and it turned out cute. Then, I changed my mind, and I made this fabric tote bag. I used and washed this a lot, so it has become soooo worn out. I think you see lots of pilings from this side. I reversed this bag, and used the inside out. As I washed it, some color had come off, and became soo ugly. I wanted to throw this away, but changed my mind again. I made a big pocket with some leftover(? ) tiny piece of fabrics to hide for the most horrible parts. I sawed a very cheap bear shaped button. It turned out cute, or....just shabby-chic?(esque?)

Cheap christmas cake 2010,1

I am good at making cheap easy dishes and sweets sometimes. For this cake, I used a very cheap chiffon cake, so all I had to do was just decorated these ornaments and whipped cream on the cheap cake.LOL Please try to make some if you want.

Aspalagus in snow

Althoug the asparagus berry(seed?) is blurred, I can see some snow flakes shining. If my camera was really good, I could have taken the snow flakes clearly???

Snow

It was a fine day yesterday. The weather forecast said it would snow tomorrow, but I didn't believe it. When I got up this morning, the out side was like these. We haven't had much snow this year, which is good for me. It is because I don't need to shove the snow, nor drive on the slippery road.Today's snow was so slushy. I think it will melt away tomorrow. I bought a pair of rubber boots yesterday, so I wore them today. Yay!
