Irene

As most of you know, the very strong hurricane called IRENE made landfall in New Jersey, the east coast of the US.

I heard that New York City ordered citizens to evacuate.
We all hope it will not cause a disaster.

One of our American friends, her name is Irene. She emailed me to tell me that she got a lot of teasing from her friends, like " Are you working hard?".

She lives in an area which is on a way the hurricane is predicted to pass.
It might produce flooding rains, downed trees and widespread power outrages.

Hope everything will be fine.

Tokyo Sky Tree

This will surely be the new hot spot of a sightseeing in Tokyo.
In Asakusa area, a very tall tower (634m) called "Tokyo Sky Tree" appears and will be open next May.

Yesterday we had a dinner meeting at an Italian restaurant which was located on the 22nd floor of Asahi beer building.

Unfortunately the tower has not been illuminated at night yet so we got together earlier then enjoy Italian food and the gorgeous view.

Pink ribbon meeting at Kaminoge

I will participate in a pink ribbon event which occurs at the Nihombashi Takashimaya department store in the middle of October, where 5 artists including me will show and sell each work as a charity.

We had the first meeting yesterday.

We also had our film taken, which will play at the event!
I got so nervous!

Here is a detail of the event below.

Place: Nihombashi Takashimaya department store
Duration: October 12- 18  10am - 8pm ( final day closed at 4pm)

We plan to give each workshop every day so please come by for a visit and check it out!

Pink ribbon activity in Kyoto

Kaoru who always supports my activity, and her friends got together for sewing hexagonal pieces to make our 3rd pink ribbon quilt.

We plan to exhibit the finished quilt at a pink ribbon event in November and it will go to an organization called " Wing Kyoto" later.

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!
