I bought a camera last week.

The genuine cases of camera aren't pretty, so I'll try to make it by myself.

I'll use these pretty cloths and lace, my favorite atmosphere

I have to sew it by my hand, because I don't buy a sewing machine yet.

Please imagine what kind of thing will be completed!!

I went to the bread classroom today.

This classroom has been held in my most favorite tearoom in Kashiwa, Chiba pref.

Today I learned "Rye and sesame bread".

I liked a fragrant smell of sesame

I went to Hiroko's bread class, because I was holiday today.


I learned "STOLLEN" this time.

As you know, STOLLEN is the bread which was eaten in Germany at the Christmas time.

At first, I had reserved the class that learnt this bread before Christmas, but the class has been canceled. Then I learned it this month.

Anyway last Christmas, I was alone and didn't celebrate anything... so I didn't need STOLLEN then... That's so sad for me, but I hope I can make STOLLEN and celebrate with someone at this Christmas time!

The calorie of this bread is very high. Because a lot of butter is used as for it.

It seems to be more than 1000 kilocalories!! It's amazing!!!!!

But this is quite dericious.


Last year was quite bad year for me...

So I really hope, this year will be wonderful for me.

I hope to be happy...
