Holidays!
We're off on holidays tomorrow - I'm really excited. We're going to head west on the bullet train tomorrow morning, and after that don't have any firm plans. I want to see Hiroshima and Miyajima, and then go on to explore Kyushu. Should be fun!
So, this week has been mostly getting ready to go away; finishing writing and the website for the magazine ahead of time, doing lots of washing, and researching stuff online. I also wanted to finish a birthday present for my mum so I can put it in the post before we leave. The sewing machine is still broken - although I have managed, with help from my landlady to find a repair shop, so will drop it off today - so I made one of the little bags from Omiyage - it was really fun to sew, and a lot simpler than I'd expected. It was fun to listen to the radio online (mostly ABC's News Radio), despite all the bad news this week, and stitch away.
That bag is darling. You do wonderful work! Happy Birthday to your mum. Hope you have a great holiday weekend. Take care.

What an adorable bag! Do you know where I might find a tutorial in English for it?
I really enjoy your site, thanks!
