3 craft shows in april.

i was away for three weeks in japan. thought i would spend lots of time with my family, visiting my grandma at a hospital, catching up with my friends, shopping, eating, shopping again.... and this and that. yes, i did them all, but i wanted to do more!! i always felt like crying when i had to say good-bye to my mom at the airport. see you soon, hopefully.

now i'm in canada. my jet-lag went away. good. i (finally) started getting back to work again for the craft shows in april. would you like to come? I'd love to meet you.

place to go : alibi room in gastown

if you like good beers and good food (who doesn't?), you should check out this place. this is one of my husband's favorite restaurants. he went out for dinner with his co-workers one night. and as soon as he got home, he started talking about how good it was. i still remember his shiny eyes, like a little boy :)
















great beer selections!
i'm sure you can find something you like.
















they have brunch menus on weekends.
i ordered "smoked salmon egg benedict" (front).
and my husband enjoyed "corn beef hash".
they made the best poached eggs i have ever had.

i have to apologize that it has been a while since i last updated my blog. i received some emails from my customers asking if everything is ok. yes, i am doing fine. thanks for asking. thought i should update my blog so people know that i hadn't fallen off the edge of this planet:) i've been thinking about new designs. try a little bit. and changed a little bit until i'm really happy with it. here are some new kinchaku pouches. yes, i'm happy.
