One Autumn day...

On the last day of Thanksgiving weekend, I bothered Steven who was quietly reading his book to go pick up some Autumn harvests. Look at these beautiful pine cones. I am very excited to make something with them. Wreath? Christmas ornament? It is fun to think what to make when you have good materials. サンクスギビングの連休の最終日、静かに本を読んでいるStevenをつついて、秋の実りを拾いに行きました。松ぼっくりがこんなにたくさん。きれいな色でしょ?何を作ろうかワクワクしながら考えています。ドアリース?クリスマスのオーナメント?いい素材があると何を作るか考えるのがとても楽しい。


We also found some beautiful leaves. I needed to do something fast with them since they are not going to last so long.きれいな落ち葉も拾ってきました。こっちは早く何かしないと枯れちゃいます。


So I made a wall decoration and...それで小さな壁飾りを作ったり…


...drew them and make some cards. 絵を描いてカードにしたりしました。


Today was my father in law's birthday and this is the hat I made and sent to him earlier along with a National Geographic magazine which has beautiful astronomic pictures chosen by Steven. He said the magazine reminds him of the TV series he watched with his father when he was a child so it is going to be a great present. I thought the magazine and this hat was a good combination because when dad wanted to go out to see some stars after he reads the magazine, it will keep him warm. I also put a tag with his initials on it.
今日はお義父さんの誕生日。毛糸の帽子を編み、Stevenが選んだナショナルジオグラフィックの天体写真が美しい雑誌と一緒に先日送りました。この雑誌はStevenが子供の頃お父さんと見ていたテレビのシリーズを思い出させるそうなので、いいプレゼントになったかな。お義父さんがあの雑誌を見た後、星を見たくなって外に出る時この帽子をかぶればいいから、いい取り合わせになりました。お義父さんのイニシャルのタグも作ってつけました。

The sausage and french lentils stew is good in cold weather. 寒い夜はソーセージとレンズ豆のシチュー。
