Thyme

I love going to the farmer's market, especially in the Spring....
This is another plant that I bought from the market on Saturday.
Their leaves are so tiny...

my shell collection

when I saw this post, I recalled my hometown in Japan.
Thank you for sharing beautiful photos, Jane! I always collect shells
when I go back there... My shell collection is one of my treasures!

Flower Field2- giraffe

I made origami giraffes.
These are made out of fabric.. not paper!
Well, I guess they were playing each other in the flower field....

Flower field1

I bought this flower plant at the farmer's market yesterday.
They caught my attention and I was glad that I got it!
Flowers always cheer me up when I am down.

** I am in the process of updating my website and online store.
I will let you know when I am done!

I went to the Kimono Fashion Show the other day . I was so inspired and at the same time it reminded me of some kimonos which I have in Japan. I always wanted to take a tea ceremony class so that I could have more opportunities to wear them.... maybe some day...

Snow in March

It was snowing this morning... pretty light snow....

Cucumber

I just found these photos in a folder on my computer.
These look like cucumber to me...

Thank you so much for all your comments about my new logo!
I think I will keep both of logos "n" & "natsumi" for now...

product tag

I have been working on a tag for my new product.
These are not jellyfish but flowers!
I also changed my logo. Just using my first name...
I thought this might be easier for people to remember.
What do you think?

These are some progress and I am still doing a lot of experiements but hope I can add finished pieces to my etsy store in the next few weeks...by the time flowers will be blooming... Yay!

I can't believe that heavy snow storm hit New York!!! It's already in March and is supposed to be warmer..... Well, Winter is back!!

La Maison en Petits Cubes

I watched Oscar-Winning short animated film, La Marison en Petits Cubes (The house of Small Cubes) yesterday. Joanne highly recommended to watch this film, so I did it! It's only 12 minutes film but this story was very lovely and meant a lot to me. This is about the story of a grandfather's memories as he adds more blocks to his house to stem the flooding waters... Is this story telling us about global warming as well??

It's cold and snowing today but peaceful...
