Happy Girls’ Day!

It’s March 3rd and it’s Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival) day! Mili and I made a couple sets of hina dolls this year so just wanted to share :) Even though I did put these together mostly, Mili participated with crayons and she had fun! All these scrabbles you see, it’s her work :)

It’s fairly easy to make, great crafts with kids.

Stopped by the Powerhouse Arena the other day and saw the EXHIBITION: SANDY: Devastation, Document, Drivea vast visual document of Superstorm Sandy created by photographers of all backgrounds–from career photojournalists to judiciously situated cell phone owners and ardent Instagrammers. (it’s ending today! I’m glad I caught it before it ends.)

And all these photos on the wall are up for grab for a suggested donation of $5 per photo.

I was happy to see lots of photos were taken…

I looked through each one, also hoping to rebuild, renew, renovate… and got one photograph and made a donation. What a great exhibition this was. Hope many people have seen it…

Happy Friday and Happy weekend, everyone! xo Hijiri

Today’s Bridge 2.28.13

Brooklyn Bridge

I can’t believe February is over! It was a gorgeous morning so I decided to take Mili to the playground first thing this year, but it got cloudy and cold when we got there in the afternoon… Aw. She enjoyed playing anyway and I was happy to see the Brooklyn bridge so close. Hoping for a warm March… :) xo Hijiri

It’s definitely getting warmer here in NYC… A little by little… It’s almost March, spring is right around the corner… Can’t wait for the warmer weather! Went to the park today real quick to say hi to the bridges :)
