When I was a school girl, I used to wish the day will pass quickly so that I could go back to Japan to see my family. Now, I wish the day to be longer as I have far too many things I want to do.
Time never used to be money for me, but now I am trying to use up every seconds to a full extent.
This month is particularly busy because Wesley and I have decided to have a last minute wedding this year. In fact it’s this weekend….! So I do apologise for scarce posting and commenting. I never realised that even a very small wedding (with the closest family and friends only) it takes a lot to organise it. Thankfully, all I need to do now is to fetch my dress (!) tomorrow. I will be posting photos soon.
Please note that any orders purchased between 30th July to 9th August will only be dispatched on 10th August. All the downloads will be as normal.
August will not just end with my wedding though. I am also flying back to Japan at the end of the month. This is another last minute decision. Unfortunately my nephew and niece who are 5 and 2, respectively both have severe asthma. My niece especially has been in and out of the hospital frequently. Their mum (my sister) is expecting her third baby in any minute and she won’t be able to move so easily anymore. Her husband is working long hours, my other sister is with her small baby, my mum being unwell, and it’s very expensive to get a home helper…
… which left my sister just me. It’s a long way to go and I have so much to do, but nothing can replace my family so I am going there for 3 1/2 weeks to look after my nephew and niece. I hope to explore some Japanese knit scene and will blog while I am there too. I have never stayed in Japan this long so it will be very exciting.
The shop will be running partially. I will be dispatching items from Japan so a temporary shipping rate will be applied during this period.
Just before I go, I thought I will share with you a nice cuddly pic of K & W.
Anyhow, I will try to post my last minute preparation on Friday / Saturday 
Until then, have a cool week!
Oh my, it does seem to be a whirlwind for you! Congratulations on the wedding, have heaps of fun! Can’t wait to see some pictures.
And have a safe trip too. Hope your family problems calms down a little, sounds like a lot is happening. Gambatte ne!
All the best!
Congratulations, I hope your wedding day is beautiful. Have a super time! I look forward to hearing all about the Japanese knitting. Take care. xx
Congrats Kyoko – I can’t wait to see your pics. All I think about at the moments in my wedding so it will be nice to distract me with someone else’s wedding!

Morning, Kyoko!
I haven’t realised that you guys’ initials are exactly same as Kumo & Wata! I usually take ‘K & W’ as Kyoko and Wesley, and at the bottom of the pic I was confused by it for seconds, haha. By the way, I’ve never seen such a lovely scene of Kumo & Wata before! Am now very much looking forward to being a babysitter of them for a while <3
おめでとう！ How lovely to have a last minute wedding – I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous day. Sorry to hear of your need to go to Japan, but you’ll have a great time being with family. Looking forward to pictures of everything!
Dear Kyoko
All the best with the wedding and brand new baby . Looking forward to see the pictures of both. Have a great time
Oh, a wedding! Have a wonderful day and do hope all goes well in Japan too. Love Ruthx
Sooo THRILLED about your wedding happening now, Kyoko! Hope you & Wesley have the sweetest day! Look forward to news & photos when you can. And wishing you a safe trip to Japan soon too… What a busy year for you so far! Hope all goes well for you all in Japan… and have fun! Such a sweet photos of the kitties–how you will miss them.

Oh my goodness, Kyoko!! I’m surprised with all that planning you have even time to blog!
First of all, big congratulations on your wedding!! I look forward to hear all about it and see some photos whenever you can! Yay for you & Wesley!!
And a trip to Japan to take care of your nephew & niece sounds like not only like a great thing for you to do for your sister, but also a great new experience for you, going back to live in Japan for a while after all the time you’ve been living in the UK!
I just wish you the best of luck on everything and hope everything goes without a hitch!
*hugs*

And I can not believe how much baking you are doing – you’re going to spoil your niece & nephew!

This must be by far your best blog ever!!! I love weddings (me & Tony marry twice!, one in Mexico and another one in the UK). Hope you both enjoy it
Enjoy your time in Japan. Enjoy your family, spend as much time with them as you can. You won’t regret it!
All the best!
Hi Kyoko!
We had a great time at your wedding! Congratulations again!
You was absolutely beautiful and the dress was so pretty, do you mind if I post some photos on my blog later on?
