After our fabric shopping and wandering we stopped for some sushi which im almost embarassed to say was my first time eating sushi at a traditional table here in Japan (why haven't I done this sooner?) but the sushi was great now if only I could get my husband to do something like that with me.

Sweet Fruits Lend
I bought the little matchbook notepad from a very talented etsy seller see her shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5241847 They are the perfect accessory to my crayon rolls and I really love them. I mean what good are the crayons if you don't have anything with you to draw on.
This morning this was the view from my backyard...
My sister posted new pictures of her jewelry on flickr...she is so talented so much more arttastic than I am haha. She really has a unique sense of style and in a good way not in the how do I say you have horrible taste without making you feel bad sort of way :)
I love her stuff http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5110635

After his morning with his boshi we got dressed and went for a walk to do our errands for the day. I had to pick up my pants from the tailor because as much as I love to sew I really hate to do my own alterations. And because it is tuesday the antique store was open so I went and had a look around. Before today I had no Idea that there was a discount room........why oh why didn't I know this ahhh I found the most wonderful vintage Kimono! Better yet the first tag I saw said $100 ok then it turned out that was an old tag the real tag was on the floor it had fallen off the kimono it was only $25 cool! But when I went to pay for it it was somehow only $6....^pause for dramatic effect^ SIX DOLLARS!!!!! I can't wait to make something fantastic from the fabric!
I just wish I had a little girl and not 2 little boys.
So my day was set in stone after this find Im still bubbly from my score! But on top of that I went to our toy store (which just about never carries anything worthwhile) My freind had told me she had gotten a great deal on a couple of toys the other day and my sons birthday is comming up.
Now I have been wanting to get my son a play kitchen for some time now but my husband is a stubborn ox and refused to get this for our son over and over again. But much to my delight today there was a play kitchen for sale in our local toy store and not only did they have one in stock but this happened to be the day that my husband decided to cave into my pleas! What a wonderful wonderful day!

Crayon roll madness
After this attempt and my 2 year olds test drive of it. I decided I could improve upon the design and that a certain piece of dinosaur fabric that I had lying around was destined to become my second attempt and that my friends 3 year old who loves dinosaurs should get to enjoy this one.
Now I think I have an idea for the perfect crayon roll and this one will be going to my sons birthday twin Lucy just as soon as I decide which fabric should be transformed.
