Last week I went to Kyoto for the New Year Holiday. I stayed at Fujitaya BnB. This Christmas tree was in the living room area. I like the traditional Japanese themed felt ornaments and want to try to make some myself.

The word ichi means "one" (or in this case January), while go means "five" (fifth day). Pronounced together it is ichigo - the Japanese word for strawberry.
Jo at Serendipidous Stitching is hosting a Stitch A Long the first Saturday of the month, with the topics chosen by her readers. This month's topic is Lizzie Kate.
I stitched this Lizzie Kate design and made it into a bag a few years ago.
Six coasters and a little bag to hold them.
After visiting Kiyosu Castle, I traveled to Atsuta. Atsuta Jingu is a gorgeous place and the day was perfect for a shrine visit.
Magical's Quilts hosted a NYE Mystery Stitch A Long, posting new parts every 4 hours beginning on the 27th midday. There are a total of 32 parts. I kept up until I left for my winter vacation and I will try to get it finished by next week. We'll see how that goes.
