Sakura and Chidori

Sakura is always in my heart.
I love the small most beautiful flower. The color is also perfect, love the pink.
I made a big Sakura coaster set! When I saw the pink fabric at fabric store, couldn't refuse myself to buy it! It is Sakura pink!

Chidori....
Since my friend SiamSquare is hoping to have labels for her shop with Chidori image, I draw Chidori for it. Chidori means a small bird in English, which is one of Japanese traditional pattern. It is often used as Sashiko pattern too.
While I was drawing Chidori, I thought this small simple bird is actually pretty and easy to embroide.... ho ho ho.

So here is the Sakura coasters, and Chidori drawstrings wristlet :D

  1. oooooooh I love your coasters!!
    They are soooo cute!
    And Oh I see you are luck that you do not have to hem your husband's pants and some times sleeves! Wow how did you meet?
    My husband and I met in college.
    We were computer lab parteners,

  2. Hi Rane,
    Thank you so much for checking my blog so often!
    OH, you sometimes need to fix sleeves too? It would be difficult! I think you need to have special skill to do that. My mom was a dress maker, and she used to complain about fixing clothes, " it's easier to make it from the scratch than fixing!"

    I met my husband on the internet, maybe 10 years ago. I am married for 6 years, this anniversary (12/26) will make 7th.

    ha ha, he drove you nuts! Mine does that too, ALL THE TIME.

  3. Hehehe... I am glad that I am not alone. I am sure that you know the personality of Japanese men...
    he is very spoiled! haha!
    He is a manager at work but can not even make tea at home. hahaha!
    What does you husband do? My husband is a Import Export Manager.
    I think I would rather fix rips in
    clothing than fix sleves... your mom is right it is hard to do, but I manage. (*^_^*)
    That is unusual to meet on the
    internet isnt it? Amazing!!
    Where you nervous to really
    meet? That can be dangerous right??
    I am happy that everything worked out so well for you!!
    You grew up in Japan though right? How is it for you in the
    U.S....? When you first can it
    must have been so hard for you!
    You are amazing!
    This year my husband and I will have been married for 15 years in
    November. Our youngest was born
    on our anniversary! She will be two.

  4. This site has it too....the
    same virus.
    I think you need to clean your combuter..you could he infecting other computers. If you do not have a good virus scan then what I use is Norton 360. It is a great
    program...a little pricy but really worth it!

  5. Hi Rane,
    My husband is like a spoiled Japanese man too! I think it's because of generation - he is old -.
    He used to live by himself for a long time, so sometimes he tells me what to do even how to do laundry. It's no fun, isn't it.
    He is a computer programmer. He fixes most of computer problems being in mad! He hates microsoft as many people do!
    Yes, to meet people on the internet is very dangerous if you are not aware. I have actually seen some people who I met on the internet! It's exciting. They are all female, only my husband is a male. We exchanged e-mails and did video chat for 4 years, and I came to the USA to meet him. I was afraid of going oversea by myself, but wasn't scary to see him at all. I already fully trusted him by then.
    It was very difficult to live in the U.S. for the first 6 months, and got better a little by litter after that. I used to cry a lot missing everything I had in Japan, but since I made good friends here I stopped to cry. I would say it is still kind of hard for me to live here, but I have friends! I appreciate them very much!
    15 years married... looong time! I am happy for you to stay in the same marriage such a long time.....!
