Here are the first attempts at lace making:

I have another flower on the lace pillow, just learning how to do sewings.

Sweet fabrics

Today, I chose my fabrics for the next Twelve by Twelve challenge.
Here they are on my design wall, next to three other pieces of the series. The new theme is "Sweet".

I spent some time this afternoon practising writing wagashi in hiragana with my ink and brushes.

This one isn't too bad, I think. Except that my "wa" is a bit flat and my "ka" a little crooked... ;-)

Tomorrow, I'll work on the kanji signs.

The weather has been pretty dull these days, but there will be some myosotis in the grass next spring!
