Hi. I am back. A busy weekend, a little journey to my old dentist on Monday, two days of having a cold, a rainy day spent at the Yokohama History Museum around the corner and finally reunited with the blog again... This year's rainy season really is worth its name, it's pouring down almost everyday. Making everything grow like mad and looking fresh, to say the best about it.
Looking up in the sky, I'd say we are in for another of those grey days...
Maybe today we will be staying at home. If so, there will be sewing and knitting. Sewing and knitting! And cooking and laundry, of course.
You have a great day, too!
Oh, and thanks a lot to CRAFT and Jena over on Modish for featuring my craft room!
I love the photo with the pop of the red berries.

How do you make your photos look so good in the rain!? We've had a rainy season here in Connecticut in USA too. It's supposed to be summer. But it's good for hiding away and getting lots of crafts and art done. 4 kids on summer holiday are going crazy though.

Your photos make rainy days look good. It has been gray and rainy here also so lots of sewing is in store.

Lovely photos, very interesting posts, great blog altogether - thank you for sharing bits of your life with total strangers like me :)
Right now is rainy season where I live, so I know what you mean; however, my views are great - Jungle everywhere!
I shall return often because I know you are great with crafts as well and many a time I need inspiration. Have a great week!
Greetings from Mexico ~

We had 20 out of 30 days in June where it rained. If we get two days in a row with no rain, people start talking!
As always, Alex....fabulous pictures. Thank you!
