aimeekitty----- :D I made this for AJ for christmas.
Also, AJ is marching in the Pasadena RoseBowl Parade tomorrow...
AS A STORMTROOPER! XD Other lovely friends are going to be on the floats too!
----- sooo... Mitch and I went back to this store called En and bought two kiri tansu ((isho-dansu) kimono dressers made out of kiri wood). I really like the drawers on these things! They'll come this Friday. They weren't super expensive, and I've been wanting to do something like this for a very long time. We are not those who redecorate very often, so for me this is big treat! :)
---- And extra fun is that I guess you can say that these tansu are an anniversary-item since we got them on our 5th anniversary! We got some chinese chests on our honeymoon, so I dunno, seems fitting!
----- One of the main things I got from my Mommy Vi when she died was a beautiful painted screen with geese on it. It always hung in their dining room, and I have such lovely memories of sitting in that room for Christmas every year with the whole family. I'm really not sure whether it's Chinese or Japanese, (I think she and Big Low bought it on one of their trips) but this past year we put it on the wall in our bedroom. It's really lovely with muted taupey tones. So I'm going to redo the bedroom around this painting, basically.
----- I'm debating whether I should try to maybe make a new comforter in indigo? (see this example) (I could attempt to do some resist dieing? it doesnt seem very hard at all.) It seems like indigo and tan would look really nice together. Then I could get old woodblock prints (for cheap on ebay) with blue accents in them.
----- After that we went to The Raymond in Pasadena for our 5th anniversary dinner. It was absolutely lovely.
----- Tomorrow I'm going to attempt wearing furisode for the first time and go to Little Tokyo for the New Year's day celebrations! :)
----- tonight I'm going to attempting making soba again, and maybe some curry and other assorted foods. (also Chocolate Chip Cookies!)
