Baby Baby Baby!!!

Hi there!!

I'm back!! I had my baby on April 29th. The birth was crazy...I had to stay in the labor room for 36 hours and they had to give me 2 different medicines to help my contractions get stronger, but they didn't get strong enough, so I had to get a c-section and I had to stay at the hospital for 10 days(*-*;)....I have to say it wasn't the best experience ever(*-*;)...but my baby boy is doing good and getting bigger and bigger everyday, so it was all worth it(^-^)!!

A view from our balcony...

I can't believe that it's been like 3 month since the last time I posted anything here....I'm still alive and doing good....Just in case you were wondering...Yes, I'm still pregnant(^0^)!!


We've been having a quite cold spring here in Japan this year, so Cherry Blossom trees didn't start blooming until like last week. There are whole bunch of them across the street from our house, so we can see them from our balcony which is really nice(^-^). I started taking pictures of them this Monday and they are finally pink!! Here are some pictures of them...

Monday-March 29th
It was raining and super cold...

Tuesday-March 30th
It was cold and cloudy...

Today-April 1st
I forgot to take any pictures of them yesterday(*-*;)...but today is nice and warm!!


I'm hoping to have a picnic lunch and eat it on our balcony and have a Ohanami soon(^-^)!!! I hope everyone will have a good Easter weekend!!

Matryoshka craze...

I have been in love with Matryoshka for a while and my love for Matryoshka got stronger after I came back to Japan!! Everywhere I go...there are tons of Matryoshka goodies!!! It's really dangerous for me to see all of those things at stores(*=*).....Pictures above are some of the things I have...

1. Mug cup pouch(I got this for a baby stroller)
2. Paper Clips(I found at Sekaido while I was waiting for Steven to get his art supplies)
3. Fleece(I found this fabric at Yuzawaya)
4. Fleece Close up
5. Stickers(Also found at Sekaido)
6. Measuring Cups(a gift from Linda and Greg!)
7. Pouch(I use this for my camera)

Good bye yarns and Hello Fabrics!!

I have been having some problems with some fingers on my right hands and I talked to a midwife and she said it's something to do with pregnancy...and she also told me to stop crocheting(*-*;)...so I'm taking a little break from making crocheted stuff until the baby is born.
I hope it's still okay for me to sew something....(*-*;)

I just listed some fat quarters in my Etsy store today!! I will be getting more(and cuter...) fabrics soon!! Please check them out!!

I made a french bread loaf the other day, but it wasn't so great(*-*;)....so I made it into some french toast this morning and they worked out great(^-^)!!!

Cold morning+Warm French Toast and Cafe au lait(Decaf!!!)=Lovely!!

Baby Sewing Project #1

I bought an issue of Tamago Club magazine(one of the famous pregnancy magazines in Japan) a couple month ago...and the magazine came with a bib making kit, so I gave it a try!!

The kit came like this...

It came with an instruction booklet and a pattern, some fabric and a set of Velcro fasteners. It was supposed to be a thin bib and I wasn't really excited about that idea so I used a piece of fleece interfacing for a little support.

The bib has the Tamago club logo on it!

Finished product....It was super easy and I like how it came out(^-^)!!

Linda and Greg gave our baby his/her first Sock Monkey doll for Christmas!!!(Thank you, guys!!) I have tons of Sock Monkey fabric that I've collected over the years and I wanted to use some of it to make something to go with the Monkey plush!!

Here's the bib I made using the Tamago Club pattern. I used a pair of snaps instead of Velcro for closure this time and for the backside of this bib I used some blue sock monkey fabric to go with the main fabric so it could be reversible. It took about 10 minutes to finish this bib and it was so much fun to make(^-^)!! I'm guessing I will be making more of these from now on!!
