This is the "mochi" (rice cake) which must have for new years in my culture.
I purchased fresh mochi at local store.
My son loves it, so we already start to eat them. ( can't wait until new years day!)

Thank you so much for supporting my shop, visiting my blog and a lot of sweet message.
I hope all of you are having a wonderful new years!

oven mitt and pot holder for children

oven mitt and pot holder for children

This past weekend I was able to finish a children's mitt and pot holder.
I am very happy with the results!
I made them for my friend's daughter. She will be 2 years old on Feb.
When I heard that my friend bought her child kitchen items as her Christmas present.  I thougt the mitt and pot holder would be great idea as her birthday present!

Aren't they lovely??

I am really really falling love with this strawberry fabric!  The fabric is Riley Blake design. ( green fabric is also from Riley Blake.) Sooo sweet and pretty.

I purchased 1 yard.  So I have still a lot. Addition I have another color of these design! I am thinking if I make the girl's summer dress, it would be so pretty!!

pot holder : 5.5" diameter

The cotton lace between strawberry and green check fabric for the accent.
I added cotton quilt batting inside. (I used double batting)

I also used double cotton batting for the mitt.
Even I made them thick, I am not sure if it is safe to prevent from the heat.

Therefore, I recomend these mitt and pot holder for the pretend play.

My son helps you to give the image how big the mitt is.

I am planing to make something more with this fabric for the birthday girl!

kid's hair salon

I took him to the kid's hair salon today. It is his first time to go to the hair salon to cut his hair.

I usually cut his hair, but this time I thougt it would be nice to have someone to cut his hair sometimes.

He was very brave. He sat on the chair ( the chair looked like the car!!) and watched "Tomas" on TV.

The stylist cut his hair very quickly.

Here is my son. Hundsome my boy!  LOVE!! (more than daddy....:P)
