a cooking lesson

I took a cooking lesson at my friend's home at 11:00. There was one member and me in the class. She taught us how to cook "a piece of  konnyaku simmered in spicy","chicken and cucumber salad with pasted sesame seeds", and "cool noodles". After we finished cooking, I took a picture of the menus.We enjoyed eating and talking for a while. I'm going to try cooking the menus someday.

 

My friends

I met my friends at the ticket gates in Oizumi Gakuen station. They are old friends from high school. We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant where my friend had reserved a room. The room was nice and cozy, so I felt that I was relaxing at an inn. We ordered the special lunch course. We enjoyed eating and talking. Then we walked a little time, we took a rest at a coffee shop. I presented the bottles of perfume which I had made for them. They liked the perfume, so I was happy. Each of them presented me with some sweets and several small towels. I really liked them. We enjoyed talking a lot again.

three bottles of perfumes and three pouches

I stayed at home all day. I made three bottles of perfumes and three pouches for my friends. While recalling each their characters I made them. I hope they will like the perfumes. I'm going to meet them on Sunday, so I'm looking forward to it.

My lesson

I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and hand sewing lesson in the afternoon. First I taught my students how to make a bottle of room fragrance. All of my students enjoyed making it. Next I taught them how to sew some wall hangings. It was difficult to sew a stuffed bird, so I taught it to them carefully. They sewed it really smoothly, so I was happy. After the lesson, we enjoyed talking a lot with a cup of herbal tea and a cup of ice cream.

Gonta

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. It was really hot, so I wrapped a refrigerant with a towel and I put it around my neck. Gonta was wilting from the heat, so I wrapped a refrigerant with a bandanna for him, too. He seemed to be happy in front of a fan, so I took a picture of it. Then I did the housework and I cooked food for Gonta as usual.

My student's teddy bear

My student  came to my home for the first time in 8 months. I gave a teddy bear making lesson to her. While talking a lot to each other I helped her sewing. She managed to almost finish making her teddy bear, so it was a relief for me. She didn't stuff cotton into its stomach yet, but it was very cute, so I took a picture of it. After the lesson, I served a cup of herbal tea and a cake to her. We enjoyed talking again.
