Thank you for taking me to Japan. In 1976 my husband and I worked on a bulk ship with a Japanese woman and her husband and many others. Later After they had got children, she visited her family outside Tokyo. When she got home her parents had to repair all their walls. Small fingers had punktured the paper to see into the next room.

I used to make wonderful rugs for doll houses using the small punch needle! Lots of fun! Arne, the doll dress you are making is gorgeous! The woman who is using the sewing needles to knit/cro her flowers is amazing! When I made Barbie doll clothes I knit some things with toothpicks so they would have the right proportions! I love making small things and I think you do too, Arne! Thanks for the great podcasts, Arne and Carlos, I so enjoy them. I am glad to hear your Mom is doing a little better, Carlos. Hugs to you both! ❤

Your discussion about deer reminded me of my travels in The East 50 years ago. There is a similar park in Kyoto where I got the biscuits and fed the deer. Tokyo was extremely expensive for a college graduate. Kyoto was easier and I fell in love with the hills, children walking in twos all in the same uniform, and glorious sunsets. I have many treasures and memories from them. Thank you. ❤

You could use the Naro deer in a needle punch design. I love to needle punch. I look forward to seeing what DMC products are available. I have always used their threads. I love the colours and sheen. I have used them for decades(66). What a fun visit today. You will needs tell us some of the gifts you gave as well. Oh what JOY it is to live vicariously!!!! Till next time lol

Oh that deer story had me laughing! Did you know there is this Island in Japan where there also deers. I believe it was close to Hiroshima. It also had a very big wooden spoon, that was impressive. It also had some places to swim and a Hello Kitty store. And those deers where so cute, but also would try to eat everything. I had a wonderfull day there!

The deer at Nara can be pretty aggressive, though. I've seen one jump up and put its hooves on someone's shoulders who either wasn't feeding it, or wasn't feeding it fast enough for the deer's liking. I bet it left a nasty bruise and the guy was lucky it wasn't worse.
