I love nails. but when I am completely off I will do that!!!
My son came back home and I was making Christmas products at home. He said If I have exact same ribbon available I could make HIV Appeal Ribbon for Scottish support! So I made this! Using Royal Stewart Tartan ribbon. Perhaps I can start making them and donate! 
I went down to London for first the time in 7 years! It has been a long time!
It was wonderful to see my dear friend. She’s been living in Zurich, after we were studying together, went our different ways.

Basically I am loving playing golf !! I always interested in playing. I used to play billiard. Once I came to UK, started to play pool.
Don’t know about good or bad, but I enjoy playing them.
Perhaps, I love playing ball into hole?!
It was an unexpected opportunity. My son’s competition partner with adult. My hubby was planning to play, but since he is programming everyday,
his arms not great condition. so I decided to play instead of him the day before at the driving range. Hubby was looking at me
and taking video and picture.so I can check what is wrong with my shot. It is outrage to go on course without any experience.
But any time is the first time for me. I was feeling sorry to playing awful shot to team Cave member of son! So I keep saying ‘sorry’.
Then he said ‘ Stop saying sorry all the time!’ Of course me put everybody down! End of the day, it is competition. and gentlemen and ladies sports!
Of course, result wasn’t great. I even over stretched my left thumb…. But thanks to my great ‘Jikyoujyutu’ exercise. Almost cleared after few days of
inconvenience.
Now I can not wait my son’s lesson….
I am deferentially into this sports now….
I was making bridal headpiece for a customer.
I made this by using quality embroidered lace provided by local boutique who does wonderful work.
I have been asked to make a “Great Gatsby”-like head dress.
Pearl, Diamante, lace, blue…..
Wedding can be stressful, but we had hand made wedding when we just started settling in London.
We didn’t have enough budget to put into.
We got lot of help from work mates and friends and family and Great Boss!!
I can not say enough thank you to all who helped us to put them together.
I made my wedding dress myself which is kimono like dress.
And my Great boss in London kindly to lend me 35000 pounds worth Wedding Kimono from Japan.
I didn’t know it was bad luck to make the wedding dress by myself….Somehow keeping on for 15 long years together…Thanks to great boss!!
So I was wearing Kimono, my hubby was wearing Kilt. Of course middle in London’s register office had never seen such a wedding before.
Unique wedding is great. Even I had money I wouldn’t go for traditional wedding.
I highly recommend for people who are going to marry, just design own wedding for big event for your life!
I was enjoying working with this hat but unfortunately customer have to move, so work ended today.
She gave me plenty time to work with. We enjoyed work toward on the result but can be endless.
She had idea, and it was good clear idea. For the fitting always have some adjust to do when get ordered hat.
Price indicated first but had to do additional charge in the end with negotiable charge.
It is wonderful to work with customer.
She is going to be fantastic on her son’s wedding. Because of the fitting
Hat sits on perfectly on her head.
It is very secure and comfortable she said!
she said she will come back for another occasions!
This is the result!!
It sits on the metal Alice band to her head.
Hat angle has been checked, colour has been checked, size has been checked,
360 degrees looks checked.
We have been living same street almost next door.
So she could come in very frequently.
I will miss her.
This is the her clutch bag’s matching trimming.
Another work made customer happy again! I am happy, too.
Yesterday, a customer – the mother of the bride – came to collect the bespoke hats which I made for her, which matches her bespoke made outfit
by local boutique.
My customer is very happy with the result. She said “It’s very mother of bride”! ! She loves the colour!
This is the artwork which I made after the first appointment,
This is the result!
What do you think?
I love the combination of embroidered orange silk and silk chocolate brown.
Very suited to the customer!
When customer is happy, I am happy, too!
Tartan hand made corsage
When I went to show my new products to my client. I was asked to make a rossette
using the same tartan material, while my client was serving his customer. I was thinking to make a rose with tartan, just I was talking with my client.
I have stiffened the tartan, and ironed each petal to make a rose. I really enjoyed making this.
My client was happy with the result, and said I had done a great job!
This Summer’s Edinburgh Fringe festival has finished and Military Tattoo was a fantastic display!
Strathaven 2013 Balloon Festival
Beautiful evening and fantastic location with lots of fun events for the whole family!
