Kitchen casket

Although I was born and raised in the snow country, I don't like winter sports. So, I enjoy creating handmade items. I made this for cooking, but I don't think I use it.(?)

Kuntan, or snow melter

After the other day's blizzard, my mother sprinkled  kuntan, or snow melter in our garden. The snow had melted a lot, but it's been snowing again....!Sigh!

Kirin Sakura&Peach tea

At this time of the year, many food companies produce spring items. I found this sakura, or cherry blossom and peach flavored tea. It didn't smell like cherry blossoms, but  tasted like peach  a lot. I love if it had less sugar.

The second crocheted plastic bag

It was snowing outside, and I got bored. So, I made this bag. I cut several super markets's plastic bags, and tied. Then, I crocheted them. It turn out to be nicer than first one which I made the other day.

Snow on Jan.27th.

It's been very cold, and we've had lots of snow this winter. Due to the global house warming effect, we haven't have much snow in the past ?? years even in Hokkaido.

Although I was born and raised in Hokkaido, I hate cold! Last night we had a blizzard, and the snow choked  our  living room's  kerosene stove's pipe. I got up in the dawn, and shoveled the snow very hard. I sweated a lot, and it was a good exercise!
