Life is Beautiful

Every morning the air was chill and fresh in this rainy season. While I was enjoying my morning coffee I did some drawing for my next project. 

My morning coffee 01 : I am home, the place where I belong. (I just got back from Bali)

My morning coffee 02 : In the fate of love. We loved with a love that was more then love.

My morning coffee 03 : Heart is a basket of love.

My morning coffee 04 : The butterfly counts not month, but moments, and yet has time enough.

My morning coffee 05 : Love is like wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.

My morning coffee 06 : One should grow in love, like a tree thats grows. Takes root for trunk and branches, leaves for nourishment, and age for strength.

My morning coffee 07 : Home is where my coffee always tastes so yummy!

Soon I will start to sew,  after I finish a few more patterns. I still need two or three more block designs. The theme of this project is "Life is Beautiful". I've got flower's garden, lovely hearts, basket of flowers, butterflies, stars in the sky, trees, and home sweet home.

I think I will draw some pets, like cat and rabbit  to complete it :)

Mother's Day

My brother sent me an old song via YouTube. He said that he try to go back in time, remembering what everything was in the yesteryears. One of them is a song, sung by Pat Boone. He said, it once filled up the air of our home in Bedeng ( a place where we grew up), a beautiful blue wooden house, warmed with loves and cares.

I remember that we had phonograph box at the corner of our living room in our blue wooden house, we had some phonograph records, Mom loved to listen to those songs and so did we.

Time goes by so fast, we grow up with tons of loves. My brother and I are very grateful that our Mom still filling our lives with her love and care until now. We wish for her health and happiness.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!

First Of May

First Of May - Bee Gees

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

we used to love while others used to play.

Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,

and you don't ask the time of day.

But you and I, our love will never die,

but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,

I watched the apples falling one by one.

And I recall the moment of them all,

the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

do do do do do do do do do...

Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

some one else moved in from far away.

I've got the idea for these two appliques while listening "First of May" by Bee Gees..  Love that song.. I always remember it every time "May" comes.. People grow just like an apple tree!

Sakura

I love "Sakura". I took this picture in 2009 at Shinjuku Gyoen,Tokyo. The sweet memories of walking under the cherry blossom trees were still dancing in my mind.

One morning when I was drinking coffee in my "Sakura" cup, my friend who lives in Japan told me because of a bad weather "Sakura" has fallen by the end of March this year, they were blooming in a very short time. So sad.

To cheered up my feeling I draw "Sakura" and I wanted to make an applique.

Sakura is the name for cherry blossom..
Soft wind blowing each petal..
Oh, I miss "Sakura..

I hope they will bloom more longer next year.

Applique Project : "Stay Healthy, Dad!"

Last week my dad had been hospitalized. My mom always accompanied him in the hospital. And thanks God, he just treated for four days only. He is fine now but he still need a long rest at home. 

To pass the time my mom did a quilt for my unfinished project. And I brought some fabrics from home and we made some applique blocks there, while my dad was sleeping.

And my mom helped me to finish up my apron project too.

Thanks, Mom! .. and Dad, stay healthy ok!
