Wool Pool

It's already been two months since I moved.
I really like living here.
I love the view from the windows.

I bought a Rigid Heddle Loom.

It's a good time to start something new.

I went to a mikoshi festival in my city.
A mikoshi come from all over the place
from the first light of dawn.
The ceremony is held early in the morning at the beach.

They are kannushi.
 

I hear some gagaku throughout the entire ceremony.
I love the tone.

I saw "Michael Sowa art exhibition" in Tokyo.
It was a big surprise, his original pictures is very small.
The painter did a lot of detail work in his paintings,
and there is a consistent mood and tone.
I was so captivated that I lost track of time.
Every work on display was absolutely wonderful.
I love his paintings and I love Amelie.

I like doodle in a notebook.
I was drawing a frog.
After drawing,
I thought that I'd like to try felting
and I made a paisley pattern frog.

I made a pincushion for felting needles.
 

I bought merino wool in lots of colors for felt.
I found a good shop to buy colored wool.
There are 110 colors and they are inexpensive.

Recently I'm crazy about needle felting.

 I bake a bread two or three times a week.
There's never been a good bakery in our neighborhood,
so I just decided to bake it by myself one day.
Freshly baked bread is so delicious,
and my family really loves it, so it's really fun for me.
My favorite kind to make is "black sesame bread."
Everyone in my family loves the smell when it's baking.




I bought yogurt's lactic acid bacterium through mail order.
It's Caspian yogurt.

I have been making it for about eight years.
