Fukuyama Rose

I found out about "Kawasaki Rose" on my friend's, Andy's, blog.
It is amazing that this beautiful rose is made by a piece of origami.

I tried to make "Fukuyama Rose", which was arranged by Japanese Highschoolers from the "Kawasaki Rose".



Although you need to spend an hour or so to make this rose, it's worth it.
You could find "how to" here. It's written in Japanese, but the pictures will help you to make it.
Enjoy!

Twisting zipper pouch

This pouch is made with a zipper and ribbon.
I don't know who came up with this idea. It is a amazing creation, isn't it?



At first, I didn't measure a zipper accurately. It turned to be a crooked flat pouch.

@Cat's Hill Classic

This wheelbag is very similar to my Hoop Bag :-)

My bag

My older son got back from Atlanta this morning, and the spring break is over.
This bag is for myself. I used a handle which I bought somewhere a few years ago. I am not sure whether it is a leather or a fake leather, however it looks sturdy.

a new cellphone pouch

I used scraps of my teacups to make this new cellphone pouch.
Clover's fusible piping code, which I bought from Japan, was very versatile. I wish I could find same things in the U.S.

Happy Easter

I found a run-away bunny in the sky on the way from Peet's Coffee.

Long time no see

It has been past while since I stopped writing my blog in English.
Spring has come, and it is the best season to start (actually, re-start)
a new thing.
Let's see how long I can continue this blog.





I made this fabric teacup yesterday.
It took a while for me to think how to create teacup shape.


This is the first day to start, so the shorter writing, the better for me.
