Hello…

Typical Spring, I found daffodils blooming in our garden..

Dwarf Daffodil is busy flowering 🙂 First Spring sign I see in our garden.

But getting cold again…

I am lucky to work on the trendy mother of the Bride, and the wedding guest outfit.

I have been pattern cutting for number of years,,,

but I just realized today, “Origami” skills are quite useful for the pattern cutting.

Both are flat paper to create 3D object.

When I was a child, we played cats cradle and gomu-tobi ( Jumping over flex elastic rope)

dodge ball ( we were quite hardcore for those tournament, and practice!! )

Chainring（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1crQlbPrRnE）those are my favorites!

but origami was my least favorite…

my son used to play at RAF museum in Hendon every week. when he was a little.

Now he can’t get enough of flying experience. No doubt he will aim for the aviation industry…

So, people, child play is the serious business, you never know it may indicate child career !!

I am a slow starter, but I am hanging on and moving to a better vibe.
Just day to day work isn’t smooth due to all the circumstance…
So thank you for everybody who was helping and supporting me out for making me going all the years.

I am as a designer, I don’t want to make people misunderstanding me.
Since I am not a good speaker, I can’t explain very well myself ( I never do in English nor Japanese ). So I write my own thoughts from time to time to focus myself…( That is the blog for…)

I am a fashion designer who has a background of millinery that I used to get into all the time.

When I was working for Philip Treacy, I questioned lots of myself and world…straight from the graduation I was working there, I liked working there, I didn’t have enough base nor confidence to be a successful designer, but I left…
Recently I am thinking myself because I thought that is natural to have a passion to design your own collection of top to toe…

In my design mission, I have to have compliment on the headpiece/hat or some kind of accessories to finish off my design.

When I design something I just have to see all the balance that is my mission…It isn’t domination, but I have to create my world as a designer.

Christmas is near to us…

I like cooking all sort of things just for fun.

I made a pie that I proud of their taste, so just I thought good time to write about this season!

Toco’s Veggie Haggis and sausage pie

1 Short crust pastry ( Ready to use )

1 vegetarian Haggis ( Ready to use )

1 sausage meat ( Ready to use )

4 boiled eggs

1 egg or milk for graze on the pie

I used all ready to use the material. So there is no stress for the cooking!
Put the crusty pasty in the cake tin ( about 22 cm diameter 8 cm depth )
place the sausage meat in the case directly, so when you bake to make sure
the crust is baked on the bottom that is the indication of sausage meat is cooked.
Saved with roast vegetable and pasta salad, with gravy for the choice.
Bake in the meatloaf tin is good, too.
I think instead of crusty pastry, puff pastry also a good combination!
Instead of chopped olive, I suggest chestnuts for the Christmas time?!
I will try this for Burn’s supper… : )

Let me know if you try this at home!!

Hello…
It has been a quick year.
I can’t tell it was a great year..…

I lost my dearest dad it was very very very painful…
But same time, I have met many friends and family who are helpful and believing in me…
I am so lucky to meet people like them, and I would really love to continue helping and encouraging to be better each others.  

2019…It will be another challenging year.
I think as a human in general, it is important to be trying to be better yourself.

The past year, I have been making lots of products related designs…but I listen to my dad’s word ” life is all about ” Dan shari ”  – Art of decluttering and organzing…
It will be my lifetime motivation! 

I shall try my best for your service in 2019.

Sincerly, 

Toco
