Tea Ceremony

A quick picture from the Japanese Tea Ceremony I was invited to. It was great to see the process over and over again by different people just to see how they did things differently. This was the final exam for the Tea Ceremony class taught by my current Japanese teacher. I am definitely going to take this class when I get a chance.

I was also sent a picture from the ABC quilt's new home of the baby on the quilt. :) I'm glad to see things go to homes that will love them.

Nifty Keen!

Random picture because I feel bad about posting so little AND I have something un-craft related to say.

As I'm sure you've figured out by now I am learning Japanese at UAA. There is a Japanese Club at school which I went to last night because my teacher from last semester was giving a talk. He is a Zen Buddhist Priest and was talking a little bit about his experiences and Zen. I not only adore him and his lectures but I was interested in the topic so I went (the extra credit doesn't hurt either). I am soooo glad that I did go it was great! I learned a bunch and 2 hours flew by without me so much as glancing at the clock or my watch because I was so interested in what he was saying. I'm considering going to one of the Anchorage Zen Services so that I can hear him talk more about it.

So anyone who couldn't make it last night, I'm sorry you missed it - it was awesome!
