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.
At this place, very hot gas gushes out and is known as a sightseeing spot.

This is powder of sulfur.
This is still hot and  like "The Super Natural" of the TV drama!
