Spring walk

It was a beautiful sunny Sunday.I took a walk to get spring inspirations.

 

Tiny spring flowers in every people's gardens and backyards.

 

Looked like a fat cat is enjoying sunshine.

He is always in the same spot, I am calling him "Boo chan" .

At a French Bistro's cafe. 

I like their sophisticated sense of interiors.

 

The Kitchy Artsy project

Now I started a new project named "Kitchy Artsy"

I think some kind of humorous, bad taste make things cool.

Snow in March

It was a snow night a few days ago - still a little snow reminds on the ground.

I can't believe it is already daylight saving - is this really summer time?

I was sick in Februaly, it took longer than I expected to recover, I stayed at home for many days -  felt like the month gone very fast.

I guess it was the time for taking a little break people have to have.

Many people around me were sick in Februaly, also I heard the sound of coughing on the busses at thatb time(now still I can hear..).

Well, I hope the season of cold will go soon, we need warm sunshine. 

Now I am making some spring inspired stuff - they will show up soon.

I found a few cherry flowers are blooming on the tree!

Stuffing animal rescue

I read an interesting article about a guy is rescueing stuffing animals in Paris.

Tomoaki Shimizu, he is a vintage toy collector, but he is not only to collect,  restores them.

According  to the "Theme" magazine's article, he has almost one thouthand of the stuffing animals(he said he is afraid to count).

He said each stuffing animal has a soul, they choose him to repair(he berieves in concept of animism).

It sounds really "Japanese"style of thought, I think-

You can see more about his life on his blog too(written in Japanese).
