WInter in Holland is really dark, cold, wet and it lasts too long so I don't like it so much but December is the exception.There're many enjoyable things!

*Hanging Xmas lights and put on the candles...

*Some decoration for Xmas...

*Having a party with friends...

*outside is really cold but if the sun shines, take some walk is also nice...

moving!

In the beginning of this month, We've moved from an apartment to a house.
This house is 25years old and we have to repair and change almost everything. Still there're a lot of things to do and we don't have even floor in the 1st floor but... my new working room is finished!
This is that :)

I really like this new space. It has a nice inclined roof and small shelf and I can put some stuff on it so can have much space on the table.

And also this room has a perfect space for my IKEA Antonius with bag material!

Look at this! It is quite amazing :)

I will create many many bags from this room!

And by the way... This room was like this at the beginning. I think we've done a great job to give a fresh atmosphere.

new material

I wanted to try new material for my bag so bought fake leather a while ago. And finally I tried it!

That material is used for the side and handle parts.

The motief is again my favorite cactus but this time, I changed the color to fit the base color mustard x black. That color combination and fake leather gave a kind of new taste to my bag.

I put other pictures of this bag and also some other new items on my website so please have a look!

Cactus

Last week I received a parcel from Japan and was from my sister. In the parcel there was a really lovely dress with cactus and humming bird pattern.

 

I tried this on and thought "I don't know why but...I love cactus!!! I want more stuff with cactus."
So... I made this.

This is a small bag especially for a camera. Inside is like this.

There is a pocket in the lid. Cute and useful, this is really important I think :)

Hello, this is *hanaha*!

This is the first post for my English blog.
Well... at first, please let me introduce by myself. I am a Japanese bag designer/maker and live in the Netherlands since 2008.
After I move to here, it took a bit effort to build up the new environment but now I make bags again and accept orders. And now, finally trying to make the website in English!
I hope that my bags have a chance to meet many people in the world...
