This weekend marks the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II. I remember the silver jubilee year, well, I remember my mom dressing me up as Britannia and sticking stuff to my riding hat (sorry I dont have ...
Some days Ebi-kun will ask to cook or bake, he usually manages to time it when I dont have much in by way of ingredients but this time was fine. He got out his cookbook Honest Pretzels (the big broth...
***have you entered the GIVEAWAY yet?*** I am not a big city kinda gal, I was raised in a small village amongst cows and wheat fields, far fetched from the bright lights of Tokyo. That said...

The other day, I gave you a peek into my studio over on Whip Up but to be honest I havent spent much time up there recently. I am working on a new project that involves no sewing and a lot of compute...
***have you entered the GIVEAWAY yet?*** I feel pretty bad about this, it was one of those projects I started then forgot about. Im not sure why I started it, curiosity I suppose. I printed...
***have you entered the GIVEAWAY yet?*** So far, school is going well, we are settling into a routine and Ebi-kun likes everything except math, because he says it is too easy! One of the things I don...
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a link for a crafty magazine - and you know how I love my magazines! This one is called Bespoke, it is an Aussie indie magazine and available as a PDF or print...
Todays post is over on Whip Up. Kathreen asked me to do a guest post either about creativity and parenting or creativity and process. I couldnt decide which to do so the process post ended up being y...
Once upon a time there was a pirate, no I think it was a ninja, noooo maybe it was a knight. Anyway the pirate-ninja-knight would often go on adventures, sailing the high seas, battling baddies, slay...
Some great feedback and reasons for blogging in the comments after the last post, thank you. Today I want to talk about images or more specifically photos. Now, one of the reasons I started thi...
I recently taught Ebi-kun how to play rummy but one of the problem he has (like most kids I think) is holding the cards, so I was chuffed when I spotted this idea via pinterest. So simple, just get t...
It has been reported in the news that formaldehyde has been found in the tap water! Those with little ones might want to keep them off the tap water until the situation has cleared up. You can read a...
Our latest artist adventures have introduced us to Salvador Dali (using this book). We touched on him briefly before when we visited the Dali museum in Fukushima a couple of years ago. The melting cl...
Ebi-kun seems to have settled in at school OK despite the bumpy start to the year. He has started to get homework every day, I suppose they need to start at the basics for the kids that havent had an...
The other day I picked up a pack of gyoza wrappers, Im not sure why, gyoza is one of the very few things that Ebi-kun doesnt like, due to the texture, so it is something I never make. So, I posted th...
A long, long time ago when I was a little girl of about 8 or 9 my best friends were a pair of sisters called Emma and Sally. Not only were we good friends but our parents were too, their dad worked f...
I want you to imagine a place full or artists, dancers, musicians, crafters, designers, steam punkers, glass blowers, jewelry designers, paper makers, potters, candle makers, soap makers throw in a g...
I think if you have been reading this blog for any length of time you will know that I am far more comfortable behind the camera than I am in front of it. You will also know that I decided that now E...
This week it was my fifth year blogaversay! Whoo-hoo, doesnt time fly? I usually do something special for it but this year I thought I would do something a little different. I have had a few of email...
Just realised that I forgot to show you this. This started because I saw a gadget a few weeks ago that allowed you to make decorated roll cakes and because I am me, I decided I could re-create ...
Since I got my new iPhone I have been exploring lots of apps that just didnt work on my old one. Hands down Cinemagram is my favourite. The app basically allows you to make a hybrid between a photo a...
After the match on Sunday, I think I have the right to call myself a hardcore fan, even if I only know the names of two players and the goalie! We arranged to go with two other families, we met up in...
The other day we joined friends in a pottery class, Ebi-kun wanted to make a dish and the other boys made mugs. The weather was awful so it was great to have something to do indoors. The teacher, Jun...
Since Ebi-kun started school, we have had to be super organized so that he takes the right things on the right day. To help him (and me if we are going to be honest) I made up some printable check sh...
Actually the 5th of May is kodomo-no-hi (Childrens day) but since the girls have their own day it seems unfair that the boys have to share theirs! Anyway, in Japan koinobori are displayed, many peopl...
and not one from some account in Africa asking me to foreword all my bank details! No, this one was from the lovely Natalie of Cinderberry Stitches. Natalies blog is brimmed with cuteness, if you are...
I asked Ebi-kun if he would like to sketch some animals when we went to the zoo and he thought it was a good idea so we took the art carry case with us. The zoo was really busy so we had to lim...
We has a great day yesterday at Saitamas Children Zoo. This is one of my all time favorite zoos, it is so well thought out and designed for maximum enjoyment for kids (and if the kids are happy, the ...
