origami garland & paper pompom

Today is my husband's birthday. We baked the cake and my son decorated the cake with strawberries & grapes.

Yesterday I decorated the room with origami garland.

This is very popular way to decorate the room in Japan.
I made a lot when I was child.
Now my boy helped me to make the garland long.

I will keep it until my son's birthday. ( His Birthday is coming soon.)

This is another decoration in our house. It is tissue paper pompom. It is very easy to make.
I am going to make more pompom for his birthday.
This decoration is also good for Halloween and thanksgiving. ;)

Anyways,  I will close my shop 16th to 22th of Oct.
I will travel to north California with my family.

Have a great day!

finished!

pink baby quilt: 30"x 39.5"

I have finished the pink baby quilt. I am so proud of myself.
I love everything of this quilt.
Lovely color combination, girly taste but still modern look.

This is the close shot. I washed once with mild detergent.
I quilted diagonally. Just simple.




The back side.

The corner. Yep. I did a good job.

The quilt batting is the warm and natural brand.
It is cotton 100% and very soft.



Hope everyone a great weekend!

pink baby quilt

Some of my works are still in the middle. However this one is almost finished.
This pink/cream baby quilt is really cute!
This quilt is inspired one of my customer's baby girl.

I did not enough variety of pink fabrics, but I found the perfect charm pack here in Etsy.
I added more squares and white/red polka dots fabric for the border.

I don't take a picture, but I finished quilting this afternoon. it is very nice so far.
I will take care the edge( I usually zigzag stitch the edge before binding) and do binding tomorrow!

wind chime

This is our wind chime. It is Japanese wind chime and it sounds very nice.
As the photo shows, it is getting rustic and the paper(it ties with the chime) which get the wind to make a sound are gone for a while.

However, I heard the beautiful sound from the chime again!
My husband fixed it!!

OH! That was Orange label!!
According from him, it works very well. I agree with him but not pretty....

So what I did is

The Japanese masking tape!

and reversible.

I added little accent on the new label. Can you see smile? :)
