this afternoon







i bought the magazine and read it through. i've been thinking about getting one for myself. the magazine had a nice one made with lether. i decided to make one for myself with linen fabric. i didn't use the pattern and i changed it a little. i stamped my handmade stamp on it. i finished it really easy way. i know it is not a well done finished one but i like it rough and natural.


then i finished sewing our new futon cover today. heew. i've never sew something as big as futon cover. so i am happy that i am done with it and we can sleep tight:)



then, i had yuzu tea to relax for an hour. i love it so much. citron(yuzu) with honey. not like an english tea. it's different kind of tea. and i love it.


i love drinking with this cup. it's one of my favorite. love how it makes the shape of a heart. i am from a city where is famous for pottery/china. and i have a small collection of cups and plates. i bought them when the city had a once-a-year matsuri (festival). many shops and artists get together on the street and open their shops. it's like a big market. i will go to the matsuri, too. hopefully, it will be sunny and i will be able to take some pictures to introduce to you.

  2. hello:) thank you so much for your comment.
    the thing i made for my keys are to cover keys so that they won't scratch other things. i have a lether wallet which has a soft lether and it is easy to be scratched. i got it from Kp as my birthday present. i wanted something to cover the keys. you know there are lether key holders...? oh, do you call them keycase? i was thinking about making it. but then i found keycase on the magazine and i thought about making my own. i used a scrap.

    the cup... yes, i couldn't resist buying it. well, i've waited for a while to get one set for myself. there are cups like tea sets. but the one i have is like a mug. i use them more often than the tea sets. it is tall. and i hope i can get soup cup, too, someday. more like a flat plate but if you pour soup, the heart shape will appear. so cute, isn't it?

    yuzu tea is made from yuzu. yes:) yuzu and honey. hot sweet with citrus fruits taste. it is like yuzu marmalade. you can eat it as jam, too. and if you put it in a hot water or cold water, you can make yuzu tea. the first time i drunk was at a cafe couple years ago. and i fell in love with it.
