Hello Sandwiches!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for reading Hello Sandwich and for all of your support along the way during 2012. Thank you for all of your comments and for reaching out on facebook, pinterest, twitter and instagram. It means the world to me. Thank you also to everyone who have bought my books or zines. I hope you were able to enjoy crafting or travelling Tokyo with them.

Warmest wishes for 2013! I'm really looking forward to another year of sharing daily life with you.

Hand painted wrapping paper

Hello Sandwiches!

When Pip mentioned she was hand painting some tissue paper for Christmas I thought it might be a nice idea to make some of my own hand painted Christmas wrapping paper.

I used a thin butchers paper and water colour paints - and added some glitter glue and spangles.

A lot of fun and cheap and cheerful.

End of Aki in Yoyogi koen

We just got back from a bike ride to Yoyogi koen to see the end of autumn colourful leaves. I'm not sure why I thought it was a great idea to leave my pompom beanie at home in 6 degree weather  *actually it had something to do with a squashed odango*  but it was prettttyyyyyy icy. I managed to keep my gloves off for long enough to take these few snaps.

Although chilly, autumn is such a lovely time in Tokyo. The crisp air. Crunchy leaves. Amazing afternoon light. Hokkairo packs. Hot green tea. And...NIKUMAN!




There's nothing better than a hot nikuman on the way home from a cold bike ride!



Eating nikuman outside the combini rockstar style. Love you Japan.

Now I really need some hot wain...
