My OTHER hobby...

Long time no blog. Sorry about that! I've been a bit busy with my OTHER hobby. Every year about this time my friends and I get together and hold a winter bazaar. Some friends sew and knit, a few make beautiful bead creations, and a few also make delicious sweets. I make cards and ornaments. The cards come from leftover (and new) scrapbook papers and accents. The ornaments I make from wire and beads.

I just love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. I started making some very elaborate beaded ornaments from kits many many years ago. Once my children were born I just couldn't take the roughly 25 hours necessary to make just one ornament. But I still wanted to make something, so I found a way to make simpler beaded ornaments.

This year's bazaar will be on November 25th. Its always hard to get motivated to make Christmas cards and ornaments before Halloween has even started. But I try. So, as much as I don't want to, I may have to take a break from making my scrapbooking. Ouch!

For my students, of course our classes will continue as scheduled. If you want to join on any of the days just let me know.

Thanks for looking! See you soon.


他の趣味

お久しぶりですね。すみません。最近は他の趣味でちょっと忙しくなったです。毎年この頃、友達と一緒に冬バザーをやります。お友達は縫い物と編み物や、素敵なビーズアクセサリーや手作りお菓子などを作ります。私はクリスマス用のカードとオーナメントを作ります。カードのはやっぱりスクラップの紙と小物で作っている。オーナメントのがワイヤーとビーズで。

クリスマスが大好きです。一番好きな祭日です。子供が生まれる前にかなり複雑のオーナメントを作ってたけど、一個だけは25時間プラスかかったから、もう作れなくなりました。なのにまだクリスマスオーナメントを作りたいと思いました。今作ってるのがもっとシンプルな物ですけれど。

今年もまた11月25日に冬バザーをやる事になりました。ハロイーンが終る前からクリスマスグッズを作るのがちょっと季節はずれの気がするけれど、頑張ってます!しばらくスクラップページを作れないかもしれない。辛~い!

ご生徒の皆様に、もちろん予定どうりにクラスとクロップを行います!来れそうの日があれば連絡を下さい。

それじゃ、またね!
