Hello manami, I noticed that you know words in Portuguese too. do you speak Portuguese too? Now let me know: are you Japanese? If yes, how did you come to know Portuguese? Curious minds...
I'm in Gifu, not much far away from your place - maybe... HAve never been to Toyohashi.

Yes I know! Because I go Janome website n read things up!!!

I have the Janome 300E--does that mean I'm really sewing on a boa constrictor? No wonder I can't get away, aaaahhhhggggghhhh..... What a cool fact, I didn't know Janome 'meant' anything, just thought it was the name of the person, like Singer. Thanks, Marji
