Hi, Now, it's school holiday! How have you been going? I have not made any kimono works for the last 2 months. Because it's WINTER, I might be a sleeping bear. It's chilly, just enjoy eating and sleeping...

By the way the winter is one of beautiful scenery season. The picture is a Camellia that is a winter flower called Tsubaki in japan. There are many flowers and variety of plants come from other countries at Botanic garden. on the warm day, please enjoy walking and find your own beautiful world!
