afternoon tea




Hi Everyone. 

A couple afternoons ago, I visited one of my best friends' house. I baked some cheese cake, macarons and egg tart for us. On the way over, I regretted not making sandwiches - would have completed a perfect afternoon tea.

 She must be a food pyschic, as on arrival, I found her in the kitchen preparing lovely sandwiches and banana scorns. What luck!. 

 We enjoyed the happening afternoon tea. :)
 (I loved her home made pesto sandwich and the banana scorn very much.)

Beautiful bag dispatched!








Hi Everyone.

I dispatched a beautiful bag to a Japanese customer yesterday. I made the bag with black satin fabric and hand quilted it with creamy white embroidery floss. On the inside and the trimming I added some fluffy white fabric. (I love this soft interior). For the strap, I used  high quality black Italian leather

The measurements are H: 23cm (Inc the strap 47cm) X W: 33cm X D: 8cm (perfect for an iPad).

With it's flexible depth, the bag has a surprisingly large capacity (although it's not very ladylike to carry so much in such a small bag, we all have to do it!).

The price is £45 and I can make the bag in either Black or Khaki. 

If you make an order, I can make the bag and have it posted to you in 7-14 days. 

If you have any special requests such as different size or colour,  please allow me little more time longer (and an additional sum may be required). 

I'm planning to use khaki this coming Autumn (or is it already here?!). 

I hope you like these bags as much as I enjoy making them. All questions welcome!! 

With Love

Place mats with embroidery



Hello everyone! 
I hope you are still enjoying the Olympics. Team GB now has 18 gold medals! Amazing. 

Here is some pictures of place mats I made recently. 
Each mat has a different embroidered flower and it is reversible.  

I will make from one for you. 
Please ask me about other colour options and pricing on email.  

I hope you like them!

See you next time.

Olympics!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying the London Olympics. Me? Oh, yes!
But I haven't slept enough due to this Olympic craze... the other day, my husband and I left the Horse Guard Parade at 1am as the last game finished then! and got home and more Olympics on telly....

So far, we have watched, Archery ( I am a big fan now!) Volleyball and Beach Vollyball in the stadiums. We have been lucky to get those tickets from last year. My husband is now watching Athletics with Jessica Ennis! Oh, she is really amazing girl. I really want Jessica to win a gold this time.

I have been supporting my country, Japan as well of course. In the Lord's Cricket where was the venue for archery, we happened to be next to one of the Japanese archery olympians' parents! My husband was such a nice guys and screamed "Come on Japan!!" for the lovely and modest parents. :)
The team got a bronze and the son of the people next to us got a silver on his own yesterday!! Oh, I was pleased.

Team GB is so strong with the rowing today. I love watching rowers in the summer!

It's been little slowed down, my bag making... not easy to watch and use sewing machine.  I mainly do hand stitching part of the process.

Yet, I have just sent a bag to a lovely lady living in Tokyo.
She ordered a black hand stitched quilt bag.
I love this bag and have the same one with khaki colour.

I will show it to you next time.  

Let's try not to let invade the Olympics into our lives too much?!

Have great days until next time.

love
