It was one strange (but good!) ThanksGiving day. The great meal with family, then they went to sleep early. Alone time, when I would have been hanging out with friends. But not this year. Instead, I decided to have the Live Session to share the time with friends (you) over the Internet. Both Japanese & English.

In the Live, “How long do you stitch per day” was an interesting question. When I start Sashiko, it is difficult to stop. Unfortunately, I don’t (can’t) stitch every day. So, mathematically speaking, probably 30~60 min per day. If a question is “How long can you stitch per day”, then the answer is 24 hours. If I do not need to make ends meet, I can stitch as long as it lets me. Sounds impossible to stitch for 24 hours? Well… I have done it and the archives are on our Youtube.

“Kata (posture)” in the Japanese culture/rituals/practice. There, I share the importance of certain posture. When you learn/practice properly, then it will not bring unnecessary pain. As I always say, Sashiko was an ordinary practice by ordinary Japanese. It shouldn’t be painful to continue.

2年前の感謝祭は在米邦人の友人と沢山で。去年の感謝祭はボストンの友人宅へ娘と水入らず旅行。今年は配信で世界中の皆様と繋がる。数年でこんなに風景が変わるんだなぁと不思議な、でも感謝の気持ちでいます。刺し子は誰にでもできるからこそ、ご縁を大切にしたい。やっぱり今年は日本に帰りたかなったなー（最後に後ろ向きになってしまってごめんなさい）。Youtubeはこちらです。https://www.youtube.com/c/SashiCo/
