If I get that sewing machine next fall, the next time I make you something, hopefully it won't be full of holes! :-)<br />love, CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-91017110292668530102010-04-19T17:19:24.080+09:002010-04-19T17:19:24.080+09:00Cath - thanks for the offer!

I was a bit embarrassed by the poor quality of my stitches, but I figure it isn't going to be looked at on a regular basis and stitching through four layers of fleece and a layer of knit is tougher than it sounds with a darning needle! ;)SomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-59746732313226289682010-04-19T17:17:06.401+09:002010-04-19T17:17:06.401+09:00Umebossy - there are a number of buildings with th...Umebossy - there are a number of buildings with the same address, and there is no actual sign on my building with the name of the building. But, I think more than that the postman is old and forgetful - he doesn't remember which building is which and doesn't seem to bother or care about the details!<br /><br />Achan - I'm the only foreigner in the building. The rest are mostly older Japanese men. There are a few other women and younger guys in the neighbouring buildings. Our last names are on the mailboxes. But none of that seems to matter...<br /><br /><br />And, I love the colour of the blanket too! The shape is what drew me to it - its a little quirky and is great for tucking around my knees or for curling up under on a cold day.SomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-13652004295285374242010-04-18T02:44:05.382+09:002010-04-18T02:44:05.382+09:00That is such a neat shape!

Now I'm glad I didn't, since I won't be here next year. But I think I will do it when I come back from Berlin, because I want to pick up sewing again. You can then send me your requests...<br />love and hugs,<br />CathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-92139653425087812692010-04-17T20:47:24.973+09:002010-04-17T20:47:24.973+09:00Love the colour and it is really original not bein...Love the colour and it is really original not being the standard square/rectangle.<br /><br />I had many parcels sent back home when I was working at the English school. the postman asked me oneday to write everyones name on the letterboxes so they knew who lived where and to stop 'complaints'. (there were 15 of us!) I think that worked.<br /><br />The scarey thing is that you don't know what has been 'lost'.achanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061864051216906521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-88687533396828778232010-04-17T20:33:16.676+09:002010-04-17T20:33:16.676+09:00Ooh, I like it!
