Sew Good! First Project in 牛 Year.




My first project in the year of the Ox! Designed, machine quilted and hand sewed all by me, using a cotton linen blend fabric that I bought at the Daimaru in Osaka. The lining fabric was picked at the Toronto Needlework Festival last year. The beautiful trim was from Mokuba.

The Lazy Knitnerd Post Again!

I was back from my vacation on Jan. 12.

In a chronological order, I visited: 

Hong Kong

Tokyo

Fujiyama

Kyoto

Osaka

Nara

Kobe

Hometown, Kaiping: These buildings are called Diaolou. There are over 1800 diaolous in my hometown and they are the only World Heritage Site in the Guangdong Province so far. 

and saw something really impressive!

I enjoyed my vacation!

Goodies I got in Japan? Actually, not a lot. I joined a guided tour in Hong Kong to Japan. Time was tight. But I still managed to visit Okadaya in Tokyo and the craft department at Daimalu in Osaka. 




I got some books and fabrics. 

Now all I need is to get rid of my laziness and start projects NOW!
