I'm working hard on it offline, and it will be uploaded soon. It's so empty and ugly at the moment because I accidentally deleted the entire codebase and database a year ago. It'll be shiny soon, I promise. x Victoria

My sister gave me some sarong fabric for my birthday, and I've made a dress from it, following the pattern from the Japanese sewing book, Stylish Dress Book (vol 1), Dress E.

in Today...

  • Yesterday
    I packed only 2 boxes, and spent the day mostly planning furnishing for the new house.
  • Friday, 17th May
    I collected the keys for the new house, and spent a whole working day there just checking and measuring stuff.
  • Thursday, 16th May
    I started packing the first two boxes, and realised there was not going to be enough space for all the packed boxes in my tiny flat.
  • Wednesday, 15th May
    I found out my new landlord works just next door to my office! Also I saw a cottage available for let just a stone's throw away from my office (in fact we could see the garden from the office) and felt a little regret.
  • Tuesday, 14th May
    I waited for the delivery from packingboxes.co.uk to arrive as promised, but it never did.

Here are some of the 漢字:
