I wish you a Happy New Year. I will continue to do my best this year to make everyone happy by holding workshops, making and selling craft items..etc.
Today, I held the first lesson of the year at the home of the person who requested the lesson. They tried miniature clay “Japanese sweets” lesson in October, and they applied to make another piece this time.
This time, they chose “Western sweets” that also included Dutch sweets “stroopwafel'' and “poffertje.
While making it, I heard comments such as "It looks delicious" and "It's so cute”! Everyone really concentrated and made cute things one after another. Good job~👏

I had a table to sell my handicrafts at a small local Christmas market in the square where Jumbo and several other shops and restaurants are located.
The market was smaller than I expected, there are not many tables. In one area, there were games and workshop for Christmas decorations, and kids were singing.
Today, I shared a table with other Japanese people. The other Japanese sold knitting hats, origami accessories, sumie painting and also handmade matcha sweets, Christmas cookies … etc., so we, the Japanese table, had the most items.
It was a good chance to talk to the people who sold together and good experience to be able to sell at a market in the area where I live.
This weekend, on Saturday the 16th, a Christmas market will be held at Buitenveldert, and I will sell my handicrafts again there.
Since the table will be shared with other Japanese people, the size of table I can use will be small, so I will be selling fewer items than usual., but if you are interested, please come to the market and have fun.
I found an article about the Christmas market in the local newspaper ↑, so I post it for more information.
Today I sold handmade items at the winter fair at my daughter's school like last year.
People were interested in colorful Japanese-style accessories and small miniature clay items. Many children and parents stopped to look at and purchase items.
Kids seemed happy, so it was a happy day for me too.
My friend asked me to hold a miniature clay workshop for her daughter's 9th birthday party, so I went for a “miniature sweets'' workshop yesterday.
We made lollipops, cookies and tarts, and ice cream that the children love.
Each child chose their favourite color for lollipop and made different colour’s. They decorated the tart however they like. Some kids put a lot of fruit on top, while others just put their favorite fruits on top.
It looks like they were having fun talking and making it with friends!
And great piece of works have completed ❣️
I would be happy if they had fun and making miniature clay sweets became a memory of her 9th birthday.

I held a workshop for miniature clay “Japanese hina dolls”. Three friends applied to join the workshop together.
It was detailed work, but Participants were having fun and sometimes concentrating. They made the kimono(Japanese traditional clothes), the dolls’ heads, a fan, a scepter...and also made lanterns, hishi mochi, and hina arare(Japanese sweet rice cracker).
This is the work that you can make Hina dolls and many other things, and has a high level of satisfaction when completed.
The popular Hina dolls have been completed and a participant said, I can't believe I can make something like this! They were very satisfied. I'm glad they enjoyed this workshop.
