preparation of my lesson

I stayed at home all day. I prepared for my sewing lesson in the afternoon. I traced 180 parts on many pieces of cloth with a hexagnal pattern, and I traced 12 parts on two pieces of cloth with a rectangular pattern. After supper, I cut them out. But my thumb went numb from using the scissors so much, I stopped cutting. I'm going to do it tomorrow.

I stayed at home all day. I made a patchwork pouch as a sample for my sewing lesson. I started sewing it 2 days ago. It was a little difficult to sew, but I enjoyed sewing. I finally finished making it in the evening. It was a relief for me.

The Bon Festival

The Bon Festival started from today, so I visited the memorial service tower where my mother's ashes rest in the Saiun Temple. Then I went to my father's home. I decorated a table with some flowers and some goods for the Bon Festival in my mother's altar room. Then I did the housework and I cooked food for Gonta as usual. Gonta saw me for the first time in one week, so he fawned me more than usual.

There was heavy rain in the morning. It couldn't be helped, so my husband and I went to the coex mall. We window-shopped for a while, then we went to the coex aquqrium. He was really absorbed in taking many pictures there. I had never seen the leaf fish until today, so I gazed at them. The sign said the leaf fish is a kind of sea horse. After lunch, it stopped raining. We went to Anguk by train, and we went to Changdeokgung. I guessed that it was a little bit similar to a Japanese temple. There were many beautiful structures in the large ground. I took many pictures of the structures. Then we went to the Hansangoo Embroidery Museum. I enjoyed watching the video how to sew and I enjoyed watching many works, but he seemed to be bored. When we went out there, it began to rain. It rained gradually hard, so we took a rest at anice cafe. When it rained a little, we enjoyed walking again.
