Nice summer dress

Look at one of students from our course in Osaka.
She made a cute dress using our fabric "American Country Homespun".
It really looked nice on her!

Billiken

There is the statue on the way to a hotel ( where I give a lesson in Osaka) from Osaka station.
It is called "Billiken". It looks very Asian, but originally it was created by an American female artist!
His arms are short, so good lucks will be brought to you if you scratch a sole of his foot.

Visitor from Thailand

We had a visitor from Thailand yesterday. It was one of incredibly hot days ... It must have been so tiring for her to come to CRIB QUILT. Thanks for coming!
I hope she will have a great time in Tokyo and a safe flight back to Thailand.

Are you on summer vacation?

Hello everyone!
It is Miu again.

Many Japanese people take summer vacation around this time because of one of traditional customs called "Obon".

What about you? Maybe Westerns tend to take a long holiday in July?

It has been incredibly hot these days. Sometimes we reach 39 degrees, that is insane!
They easily lose their appetite because of this heat.

But I don't!

Do you give me my favorite, Katsuobushi ?

By the way, I had my hair cut. Actually I was trimmed ... too short for me!!!

Please sit back and relax and take some rest ... like me!

Gifts from Portugal

A dear friend of ours, Catarina returned to her home country Portugal last month.

She sent us a postcard of "Azulejo" and a mini tile of "Calcada" that we loved when we visited Portugal in summer 2010.

 

 



It was a nice gift of reminding us of the great memory of the summer!
