Something to look forward to...

Just had to get this kimono related bit out...As some might recall i visited my local Jap garden on a scouting mission a few months back (yes i said i would posts pics but i never found them...) well also some months back my friend who is in photography class at school expressed an intrest in going with me and takeing pictures when i whent again in spring.

The only diffrence in this would be i would be wearing kimono, the garden would be half dead with stagnant pools and only 1 big Koi, hopefully it would be quite alive and better taken care of because spring is 'THE SEASON' for the Austin botanical gardens... Also i will probibly be driveing... i should practice getting in and out of the car in kimono...

So as to what i will be wearing well... it will be my newest peice, my red lovely, a nice pair of boots i will have to take a pic of, An obi i just won off of ebay (its cream, yellow, peachy amd a little gold and all geometric but its very mellow and will still contrast nicely) Also i hope to have a green Obiage(i just bought a nice green scarf i can use) and i will probibly use my new Kumihimo disk to make an obijime, (colors are undesided).

the obi should be here in a number of days, i will try and take pictures of the outfit layed out(i can show you my boots, by the way i'm wearing boot because the garden has this nice loose graval on a good number of the paths and i don't want my geta to be ruined and i need to test how long i can wear my Zori without pain... not ideal of a photo shoot!)

In other kimono related news... the obi i mentioned will be my last Major purchase for the next month or two. I may buy some new Tabi, heck i might even get an obiage or obijime... but no obi or Kimono... I am going to begin to save so i can buy myself a nice Ko-furisode Hakama set of some sort, maybe a new juban that will be long enough in the sleves for the Ko-furisode and most definatly a cute hanhaba obi, all i have right now in that deparment is currently pink or purple and they are both plain... so yeah saveing up for a big purchase... though it probibly will not change my posting  frequency... which is when ever i feel like it/ have something TO talk about... XD   )

Sigh, fall/winter blues

i wish spring would come quickly so i can go out and see the japanese garden (in kimono of course) i checked the place out a month ago and found that the japanese garden, while small, was jam packed with things of intrest, yet due to the drought it was void of allmost all koi andmost of the water features that would have made it stunning were not on...

There was one koi fish in the ponds, it had to be at least 10 inches long, probibly longer. and in that same pond was a working water feature... i kind of wished that they had a real pagoda and not the tea house... but hey japanese is japanese and i feel it will be stunning in spring, rain has been falling a bit more often and so my hope is that with spring will come more rain and a true japanese jewl....

oddly i feel better now. lols guess thats how life works.
