When I stitch  this series, I use [Belfast Linen　Cream] always.
I used it for this design.  However, I feel that a snowy white color does  unattractive on this linen.
Mmm, should I have exchanged a color of the linen?

Do you like outdoor baths?
Of course I do not wear the swimsuit because it is a bath. The Japanese hot spring may be a slightly strange custom.
There are a lot of natural hot springs in the area where I live in.  And there are often an outdoor bath . 　
I like outdoor bath in  the winter . It is comfortable to take a warm bath while watching snow in the place where cold wind blows.

My small blog almost becomes the first anniversary.
Therefore I plan My First Giveaway.
I will report it soon. Please participate.

Thank you for visiting my small blog.

Take care not to catch a cold.
Have a happy day.

MY HOUSE IN THE GARDEN

I completed [MY HOUSE IN THE GARDEN].
I do not yet put it in a frame. I am going to ask my husband for the production of the frame.
The frame which he makes is simple. There is not all decoration.
But I like them very much. The stitch is very personal work, but this is  family-like atmosphere is felt by putting it together with the frame which the husband made.

 By the way, real [MY HOUSE IN THE GARDEN] is the snowy inside.
The temperature this morning was -26 degrees centigrade!
The area where I live in is buried among snow from December to March.
Therefore I yearn for spring all the more.

KOBITO DUKAN

Thank you for warm comment yesterday. I became slightly too much sentimental. In your words, I became somewhat cheerful.

The  KOBITO DUKAN  is popular with children in Japan.

It is a picture book of the children, but the fan opens to adults. They are really strange. They are weird  than pretty. However, they are attractive for some reason.
During a holiday, I bought the building block of their design.  Even an adult was able to enjoy these enough.

Oh, there is not the article of the stitch.
The thing which I made before....

I keep a copy of your smile ........

Folk Heart [Country days 1987]

The holiday was over.  My daughter went out to the far-off town to go to the university today.
It is April in the new school term in Japan.
The daughter became a university student in April of the last year.
I  thought that I  can accommodate myself  to living apart from a daughter.
However, after all the parting is sad when I spend a happy holiday.  Tears fall...
Possibly I may be not able to accept that my   daughter isn't a child any longer.
It puts a burden on a daughter.
I must do something.   I must get a grip on myself more.

We traveled to Shiretoko on a holiday. Shiretoko is registered with a world heritage.
However, for the off-season, there were not many tourists.
Because we were weak in a crowd, we were just right.

Do you know the Godzilla? This rock is called a Godzilla rock in the hometown. It will be similar somehow.

Elizabeth's Garden

 The motif of many tulips will be increases here. I look forward to it.

The aim of this year is this first of all.
"Measure twice cut once”

So. I am some rattlepated.
 Linen does not fit the size of the stitch.... I grind a stitch in the wrong place.... Such a thing is frequent.
I want to do a stitch more carefully this year. Of course happily!

I stitching  these now .  The round design is a free chart of  Needle Print.
I wants to stitch  several points and finish these to an ornament a year.

I went to watch a white crane with a red crest with a family yesterday.
A white crane with a red crest is a Japanese special protected animal.
Most of the country of them inhabit near the area where I live in.
They are very elegant.

Thank you for visiting my small blog.
Have a happy day.
