Until it's over you just never know whether you will be or not. Good to be prepared.<br />Your sewing pouch is wonderful. It reminds me of the old-fashioned housewife rolls that were used during the Civil War, and probably before and after, too. Your pouch looks like it has just one pocket (unlike a housewife). It's a great idea to roll it and wrap it with a length of cord.

But what a typhoon Japan suffered through! I'm glad you weathered it -- hundered down for it -- just fine (funny definition on the other website). I love your sashiko bag, and wish I'd known you when we were in Asakusa. I tried to find shops off the beaten path, but they were mostly shops with goldfish or touristy trinkets.

I feel very fortunate to come through safe and sound, especially after reading and hearing about other areas in Japan. It was the worst storm I've experienced in Japan.

I hear about it while we were visiting our son in Florida and I had no way to contact you to see if you were safe. I know I need to work on my techno skills so I can use the internet on my phone!!
