Go Canucks Go!

This is my wool collection after I went to Wool shopping to the States.

I happened to find a store that carries all kinds of colours of wool!

I counted and found I have over 50 shades!  I’m pretty happy now :)

This is the rabbit I made little while ago.

Rhubarb season again!
This year I’m enjoying making Strawberry Rhubarb pies.

Today’s pie turned out very good but looks like there are lots of bleeding bears :(

Anyway the pie tastes delish as usual :)

I just finished this Shiba-inu sculpture.

She is a  miniture of my first pet “Satsuki.”

Satsuki means May in Japanese and also a name of flower which blooms in May. 

She came to my house in May (It was exactly 30 years ago! ) and there was a Satsuki plant next to her kennel.


After a long break, I just finshed this felt puppy.
I named him “Kuu.” This sounds very cute in Japanse and also means “eat” :-P

He is 100% needle feltd wool.
The rug was made with hand spun yarn and hand woven by me!
He also has a treat in his own bowl and yellow tennis ball to play with.

Yesterday when I was watching TV I found out that the Canadian Hockey team was practicing at Britannia community center. So my boyfriend and I hopped in my car and went there hoping that we could see some of the players.  We were just in time and the players were about to get in their bus and we saw Luong, Iginla, Crosby and other players and took some pics. I was so happy when I waved to the players on the bus and some of the players waved back to me even though I couldn’t tell who the player was because window glass was all tinted. Anyway it was a fun.

And just after we start driving back from Britannia I clearly saw someone was waving to me!  It was a  ——- a blue Cheburashka on an Audi SUV, the same Cheburashka as the one I just got in the  morning from my boyfriend. (I was chanting the name the night before. Not asking him to get it though.) What a coincident!

I told my boyfriend to chase the car so I could take a better pics.  We were chasing, chasing and chasing the Black Audi in my little red Echo from Commercial drive to Great Northern way to Main St,  like paparazzi!     I didn’t know I would get  more excited by spotting the Cheburashka than Crosby!

My collection of D'Arcy Margesson's ceramic

My collection of D'Arcy Margesson's ceramic

Last Monday, another beautiful flat dish (top left) was added to my collection.

I just fell in love with pottery of D’Arcy Margesson when I first saw them at the Farmars market  a couple of years ago.  Since then, whenever I found nice piece I just could not pass by them.   I really love the colour of the glaze  and the texture of terra cotta.

Now I see his creations at many local kitchen shop but they are little pricy.  

If you are interested in getting, check out craft shop at Place des Art in Coquitlam. Their prices are better than other stores.

Oh and don’t forget check out KiyomiQ felt craft there, too!

This is a panoramic view from Mt. Seymour that I took on Saturday.

Enjoy the view of  “Beautiful British Columbia” or I should say “The Best Place on Earth” ?

There are other pics from that day. Click here.
