I know it's been a while since I came back from Japan, but there are still lots of fabric from there that I hadn't had a chance to share with you here. My sewing machine had a serious issue with its upper thread tension which I couldn't find a solution for anywhere, so it is on the mend now. It's weird not to have a sewing machine at home. Some part of me is relieved that I can cross out sewing-related stuff in my to-do-list temporarily, but some part of me is missing sewing so much. I guess it's more of the latter case. Wednesday tends to be the day of the week when my productivity goes up, but not today. Without my buddy (sewing machine), I am so useless. lol. So I decided to take this time to take pictures of some Japanese fabric to blog about and to list some fabric in my etsy shop . This gave me an opportunity to remind myself of some really cute fabric stash I have but I had forgotten about, which made me go Woohoo! I think I am totally addicted. No wonder my

So I've come to realize that it would not be as realistic as I expected to have a blogpost where I have pictures of all fabrics and all zakka items, given everything that needs to be in have been listed. For a few reasons. For one, I am sort of lost in the amount of fabric I brought from Japan. For two, I am not the most organized person.

The very first picture in this post is some cotton print fabrics designed by Kumiko Fujita . A fabric chain store called Yuzawaya had a quite big selection of her fabrics that aren't very easy to find in other fabric stores, so I went a bit crazy. And these umbrella fabrics -

Thank you for all of you who left comments in my posts/sent me emails while I was in Japan/snatched some fabrics from my etsy shop early in January. I'm so sorry I have been gone for such a long time. I love blog land - I really enjoy writing and reading blogs and communicating with my online friends through emails and flickr, but while I was in Japan, I made it a point to spend as much time as possible with my family and friends who I don't get to see very often, which meant for me to spend little time on computer. The Japan trip that lasted for a little over a whole month ended a few days ago, and both Joe and I are trying to catch up with stuff here and there, and to get over jet lag. Just like any other times I come back from Japan, I am feeling homesick. My life in the US is great, but I can't help but keep thinking about how nice it would be if I could move back to Japan with Joe where I have my family and friends close by. I know that's such a selfish idea. I sho
