My due date for my current work is Wed. Then we go to Korea for the weekend. I’m not going to be able to go to Bath, UK to see my work on display in person. But if anyone is there please let me know!! After I come back from Korea, I’ll be back on making the pansy lesson!! PROMISE!!

I did all the editing and uploading! Now you can learn how to make it for $5!! Let me know what you think and feel free to post the group if you need help.

Since I was alone I brainstormed on my own for lottery prize ideas. Also, when are you usually free for a call? Should I change it to Sunday evenings for you instead? I could do some of my Monday mornings when it’s not a holiday. Here are the ideas: Affordable for weekly prizes 1. 30% off in my shop www.mimihanathreads.com 2. Postcard from Japan from me 3. Cute Japanese stickers in an envelope 4. Embroidery pattern pdf with your name in Japanese 5. Sashiko Stitching Pattern via PDF 6. Visible mending lesson for free 7. Early access to the next lesson 8. Winner picks next Stitch Challenge Theme 9. Member of the week boosting their work, their story and have it pinned up for a week 10. Winner can publish a lesson in the group (with guidance) Once a month: 1. Japanese snacks sent to you 2. Tutoring needle painting one on one 3. Japanese fabric pieces mailed to you 4. Japanese embroidery supplies mailed out to you 5. Live mini workshop invite 6. Handmade mini kit for easy stumpwork 7. Mini omamori making kit (omamori is the charm you can buy in Japanese shrines and temples) What do you think? Anything else? The first Social Saturday is this week! Here is how to do it: Go to the Members tab Tap the + sign Copy the link Send the link to a friend or family member If they join you get a ticket! You get one ticket per person joining. Make sure you tell me their names or else I can’t give you a ticket. I’ll record the ticket drawing on Monday and announce the winner and what you won. (Should I put the prize in the raffle too?)

Are you joining??

I want to challenge you to do something in April. Hmmm.. what could it be? Truth or Dare? Embroidery Puzzle? Generous Giraffe? Selfie Posing? Find out! What do you think it’ll be?
