winter solstice



Tomorrow  will be winter solstice .
From the next day, the time for sunrise becomes slightly early.
It is a day to feel hope and  rebirth  at winter solstice.
This scenery is the sunrise to show from my house.





These are the ornaments of Birds of a feather  which made several years ago.
It is my favorite.
Have a  wonderful holiday!

Four Santa Claus



Red Santa 
Gold Santa
  Black Santa
 Green Santa




These are Santa Claus of Birds of a feather. I displayed it lengthwise.
I used the branch of the tree of garden for the substitute of the bell pull.
I dyed the linen with the husk of the chestnut.

So I love Birds of a feather. My daughter loves them, too. I presented these stitches  to her.

Swiss roll??

I made mat so that a desk was not damaged when I put scissors.
Then I rolled the ends of the mat slightly. It is similar to a Swiss roll.
I use it as a pincushion here.


I made the design of the stitch in reference to an old chart book.
Near my house, there is the station named [The happiness station].
It is already a deserted station here. However, a lot of tourists still come.
The name of the neighboring station is[ The country of the love]!
The ticket of these two stations is popular as a lucky charm. The train does not go anymore, but still sells the ticket.
The tourist has a custom posting a business card of each person or a memo on here. The old station building is filled in them and does not see a wall.





This is a signboard of the English sentence

wonderful present



A wonderful present arrived from my friend Keiko.  Her stitch is very beautiful!!
I love designs of this BOAF!






She presented the wonderful embroidery thread to me, too.
Those threads are called  MATALBON.
It is a thread produced in Japan. I have not used this thread. There is a very soft impression.
I look forward to using it.   Thank you, Keiko!!!


It is December soon. Swans came flying in a field nearby.
They spend  in here and a riverbank nearby until spring. They are winter beautiful messengers for us.

We went to "the sulfur mountain" the other day.

Needle Organizer??

I put a pincushion in a frame of the wood.
In the blank, I write marks and numbers of the threads.
I am going to use it as a very simple needle organizer.

Various fruits grew on my garden.
The Rose hips. A field grape. A Japanese beauty-berry.









What will these translate it as in English?
Do you call it a nut ?
Do you call it a berry?
Or are there other names?






Anyway, I love these colors.

Night Time in Olde Towne

The Olde Towne is finished. I'm really happy about that!
Black linen could not have seen texture easily. Therefore I was very tired.
