I’m a little late posting about this since life has been a little more than hectic lately, but I wanted to recap my January trip to Japan. I know, I know, wasn’t I just there? But Japan’s got a special hold on me and DD and I wanted to explore some new areas this time.… Continue reading Japan Trip 2018
One weekend before my European vacation, I went on a Hemlock sewing binge to work through some of my old fabric stash. I made 2 tunics to wear with leggings (already shared here) and a short-sleeved and long-sleeved variation. Here’s my short-sleeved one, which is really just the bodice with no sleeves attached: I still… Continue reading Summer and Winter Grainline Hemlock Tees
DD and I have been quite the jet-setters this year (thanks, buttloads of overtime!). We went on a 2-week vacation to Germany, Switzerland, and France the last half of September. I’ll go over the me-made items I packed, a quick tour of all the cities we visited, then talk about some sewing stuff from my… Continue reading Europe 2016: Travel Wardrobe, Sights, and Sewing
Vacations are a great source of inspiration for getting the ball rolling on new sewing projects. DD and I recently returned from another trip overseas and I wanted to be as comfortable as possible while traveling. On our trip to Japan in March, I wore a comfortable pair of skinny jeans on the flight. After… Continue reading Grainline Hemlock Tunic Hacks
Japan is a sewist’s dream come true. All of the evidence is there. I mean, how many sewing bloggers in the past couple of years alone have traveled there to splurge on high quality fabrics and super cute notions? Just to name a few, Cashmerette, Sew in Love, and Crab & Bee! I have always… Continue reading Fabric Shopping in Japan and Other Cool Stuff
Japan, The Land of the Rising Sun. For me, it is the land where I fulfilled a lifelong dream and connected with so many people. It had been eight years since I lived there (read about it a bit here) and I finally went back last month to visit. It almost felt like I never… Continue reading Japan Trip 2016 – My Home Away from Home
戻ってきた！I’m back from Japan!! Well, I’ve been back for a couple of weeks, but you know how jet lag goes… Speaking of, I’m just popping in to say hi and that I’ve been too busy to make a real post. Working every Saturday since we returned has cut into my sewing and blogging time greatly.… Continue reading 戻ってきた！
Why hello everyone! Or should I say こんにちは？ Yep, that’s right. The time has come for my trip back to Japan! Japan and I go way back – back to 2007. I moved to Sado Island as a participant of the JET Program to teach English to elementary and junior high school students. I was… Continue reading 行って来ます
Hi, y’all! I’m back from my vacation to Orlando, Florida… and let me tell you, after going back to work for a week, I’m ready to escape to Orlando again. I miss my happy place! DD and I went to Universal Studios to check out the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley and… Continue reading My Sort-Of Me-Made Vacation
Hello and Zip-a-dee-doo-da! I’m currently in Disney World vacationing my little heart out! We’re with my in-laws to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary (Oct. 12th), DD’s mom’s birthday (Oct. 11th), and just being able to get away from work. Hallelujah! When I go to theme parks, I like to get in the spirit of things… Continue reading Disney Plantains!
