The above pictures are the Easter centerpiece I created for my parents' house. I dyed two of the eggs with silk tie dye method. It involves wrapping silk around the egg and then boiling it.
My parents are still enjoying their vacation out in beautiful Pisgah, Alabama. John's going to check on our plane tickets on Monday to see if we are going to be issued them anytime soon.
I went to visit my Grandmother today. She is from Japan and came to the US in the 1950's. She's very excited I'll be living in her homeland. I still have many relatives in Japan and my grandmother provided me phone numbers for all of them. One of my cousins actually lives very near where we'll be stationed.
My grandmother also records and watches Japanese television non stop. She recorded some home and travel shows just to give me an idea of things to see in Japan and ways to decorate my home. She also helped me with tips on decorating a traditional tatami room. As a side note, let me just say my grandmother was never a good Japanese to English translator. So, I followed the pictures on the screen the best I could. The help of course is much appreciated.

How did she suggest decorating the tatami room?!
ReplyDeleteWell, traditionally it's used for tea. So you'd have your table and your tea making stuffs in there. However, in more modern Japan, it's become just another room where everything is done in it from eating to hanging out.
