Christmas Eve

I finally bought a "Donabe". It is a Japanes hot pot. You can directly put it on the stove.

I also bought a portable gas stove so that "Donabe" and the stove can be on the dining table.

"Onabe"--the hot pot dish in Japanese is very easy to prepare and so healthy!

I invited a couple of Japanese friends over for the Christmas Eve Hot Pot Party.

One of them brought "cod" and I prepared chicken and about 10 kinds of vegetables (Japanese kinds? of mushrooms, carrot, napa cabbage, green onion etc...) to go in the soup in the pot.

Everything goes into the pot.

We also put Japanese noodle in it and that was yummy!

Another friend brought Potato Salad and made "Potato Salad Christmas Tree"!

Now, I have this "Donabe" so I can prepare "Onabe" dishes during this cold season.

This helps heat your body a lot!

We really had a good time!

Happy Holidays!

Let's be healthy and warm!

SAORI Studio "FUN" in Minneapolis

I will be teaching SAORI in downtown Minneapolis soon!!

The venue is going to be at the gallery I am a part of, yes, Mill District Arts Gallery.
The gallery now opens only Thursday-Saturday, so I will be able to use the space while it is closed, Mon-Wed and Sun.

I have been told by many people "It is too far to go to your studio to weave!" since I live probably at least 30 minutes away from Minneapolis area.
Now, people who told me so can join us at SAORI Studio "FUN" Minneapolis class.

I will be promoting it soon, but first, I need to finish get ready for my show "In the Moment" .
It is coming up at the beginning of January at The SPACE for Creativity in New Richmond, WI.
Just keep in mind that you will be able to do SAORI in Minneapolis in the very near future.

My another dream is going to come true!! I am excited.
