Feeling utterly uninspired lately, what with still getting back into the routine here after a month of being away – and mounds upon mounds of unpacking still littering my bedroom and computer room – I haven’t been up to DIY’ing much lately, or even web-surfing to any useful extent. Here are some things that have been on my mind lately and saved in my “Inspirations” folder…and maybe I’ll finally get off my bum and start doing some of them?? (more…)

Our flight to the States is supposed to be today, but a typhoon is scheduled to hit Tokyo this afternoon so it remains to be seen if our flight will be canceled or happen as scheduled.
If everything goes off as planned, I should be back Stateside on Wednesday! See you after I’ve recovered from the jetlag!;-)

Today is my last day in Japan and there are still some things that are on my wishlist. Out of my budget or things I’ve deemed not absolutely necessary to daily life, I’d still love to have them, even if I can’t foresee a way to incorporate them into full rotation in my wardrobe. *sigh* Maybe a couple DIY’s are in order?
