Tea time is when new ideas pop up

During the second Beelationship Studio meeting, Hachi was thinking like this:

“How lovely tea time is.

When I am busy, I tend to spend tea time with doing something.

But, if I spend tea time just for a cup of tea, it can be great time for finding a big picture or waiting new ideas which is about to pop up.”

 

Her thought went on:

“Oh! There is the Tea Time Tapestry of Ito’s embroidered work.

Maybe now is the best timing to post the photo of it to BLSover70Emboridery Co-Gallery Instagram because I am thinking about the meaning of tea time!

Why not now?”

 

Therefore Hachi posted the photo of Tea Time Tapestry to Instagram.

These were embroidered works made by a 90 years old grandmother, which Hachi hoped to see for a long time……….!!!!

And those works were full of grandmother’s love to her grandchild……….!!!!

 

(A few weeks have passed since Hachi saw these photos for the first time but she still feel like crying or being excited.)

 

Hachi felt that those kitchen cloths were full of motifs which the woman’s grandchild loved.

 

Hachi let Ito know what she found.

Hachi was about to be broken when she found these works because she was so happy.

That is only natural because finding embroidered works made by elderly people, which is full of love and a sense of home, is a rare occasion.

Hachi is feeling its reasons but put them aside just for now.

Hachi just became happy to find those works and the stories.

Therefore she would like to tell you the amazing works and the touching stories.
