-Letter From Japan-

My first letter from Natsuko my snail mail pen friend came today much to my excitement.... I think I stared at the envelope for about 2 minutes before I even opened it.... WOW I was soooo anxious to see what was inside...
 Soo excited as I was opening it I had my legs curled up underneath myself while sitting on the couch and tearing at the sticky tape and turning it upside down on my lap until all the contents came out. I didn't know what to look at first but I knew I had to read the letter first its just a rule you have to abide by, just like when you get a birthday present you open the card first before the present...
After reading Natsuko's letter it filled me up with much happiness it's just great to share your life and life's stories with another... Then came the goodies some very yummy chocolate and I must admit it didn't take me long to eat it, some beautiful postcards, cute little sticky memo's and this really amazing magnet that she made it's called "Kimekomi" ....I have seen similar crafts before done on polystyrene balls but this is really great and I would love to try this sometime....
I cant wait to write my reply now and I'm full of inspiration again and to get back to crafting!

- Happy New Year-

 I'm Back from holidays!!!
I had such a lovely break from work, I spent my time at home and was able to catch up on all the gardening and caught up on loads of movies!!

It's a new year and I'm totally focused on Tokyo Ties  and getting myself out there. I have many projects in the making and I will be sharing my ideas and will be posting more tutorials and creations with you.

I spent a bit of my time of on making a few things.... I was mainly making felt brooches and sketching new designs and ideas.....


This is one of the brooches I made a red hooded pixie.....
