101st post here. lets move on!

I realized that the last post was my 100th post. WoW!
It is something good before Easter. I decided this year is going to be my cleansing year in many ways.
Lets put my passed work into the New and then I'm going to create new and new deigns, more and more.

I used to paint on paper . Now I draw on the paper and finish it on the computer.
I needed to hand my original textile work to the mill (Printers), so I couldn't keep the original work.
So I loved the illustration work more than textile work because the publishers returned my artwork after they used.
It was lucky for "Michelle meow" original artwork that was scanned in my file.

High-heels Cat in Paris - Note card / Set of 8 $24
The story of High heels and I!

I dreamed about wearing high heels since I saw the movie "La ragazza di Bube" when I was a little girl.
(France and Italy 1963/ Director Luigi Comencini Cast: Claudia Cardnale/ George Chakiris )Claudia was most beautiful and attractive woman to me.
She asked George to buy high heels in the movie.
I thought, "When I will be her age, I'm going to wear the high heels like her."
I dreamed about being an attractive woman who wears the high heels.I passed her age long time ago and I'm not wearing high heels. I'm still wearing flat shoes. :)

I realized that I'm a flat shoes girl long time ago, but I'm still dreaming about high heels.
I gave my high heels to my cats who were in Paris where I love to be.All cats are in the frame 5x5 $25

Wa-urara original cute Obi Hoodie's Collection in Japan.

Wa-urara is Kimono store in Osaka, Japan.
The owner of wa-urara saw my first group "Morning Call"
At her first glance she got an idea.

These ideas produced a new look in kimono fashion.

She is making new style of Obi using Hoodie's Collection fabrics and selling them at her store.
It is unusual using Cotton fabrics for Obi. She found a denim kimono that perfectly matches with Hoodie's Collection's Obi.
Kasane-eri (showing neck area Egg Dots - Col/Tomato) is very cute. She is planing to make Tabi (Socks) coordinating with Kasane-eri and Obi.
This denim kimono can be wore during all seasons.

It is showing three different fabrics on the back. These combinations make stylish and modern looks. I love it!

Hanging Obi on the wall that is great display in your room and shop.

These are "Hoodie's Hand Bags" that one of projects from "Besides Half Apron"

Fabrics group "Medetai"

She made a Yukata (Summer kimono) using "Sparkling Paris" Poodle design. These are test sewing for the new sets of Yukata and Obi for summer.
I'm in Osaka, Japan. It is very very hot.
I've been seeing many Japanese young people wearing Yukata and summer kimono.
It looks like it keeps things allot cooler than wearing normal summers clothes.

Go! Go! Girl.

I wanted to post something about the Quilt Market show in Pittsburgh but I couldn't post any thing because my two computers had problems.
My laptop didn't turn on two days after the show. So I took it to the shop.
The next day, my main computer didn't start up.
Then we had Memorial day weekend.
The shop was waiting for the parts to replace, then he got wrong the parts.
Well....
I was stressed out for a while because of my delayed schedule.

So I did some other work instead of my computer work.
Reorganizing my closets for summer,
putting summer furniture at my backyard,
redecorating my bedroom,
and drawing many ideas for next my projects in my sketchbook.

I'm behind schedule but I realized
It is nice to do something not to using the computer.

My new patterns will be available in two weeks from now.
