まゆ“みの”日記　翻新臥室牆面！？完成超棒作品^^

━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━ …━…━…━…

我和女兒親子共眠在同一個房間。

臥室的牆面點綴著夜光貼紙 DIY 圖案，閃耀星空。

女兒還沒上幼兒園時，常常晚上捨不得睡，

一邊嬉鬧奔跑、一邊黏著想玩，雖然很可愛，

但瞌睡的媽媽我只想快點休息……。

這時，夜光貼紙就成了救星！

我提議：「來創造夜空吧！」然後關燈，

漆黑之中浮現滿天星斗的景色。

有時會拼出奇怪的星座，

還有媽媽星球和女兒星球，

講攻擊或和好的故事，

我們倆仰望牆壁與天花板的星空，

我輕輕按住她的動作，一邊說起小故事。

聊完又玩過一輪後，

蓋上被子、暖暖身子，我悄聲數說女兒的優點。

不知何時她睡著了，還是又跑去玩，

如今我已記不清，

卻是令人懷念的回憶之一。

最近我們為這面牆大改造！

加上全新的夜光裝飾，母女倆在不同牆面創作了全新藝術空間^^

以「共同創作」之名，

在兩面牆之間做出彩虹般的連結^^

失眠的夜晚，想再一起看這片自製星空聊天^^

Mayu “Mino” Diary Remodeling our bedroom wall? See the lovely glow-in-the-dark art we created ^^

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

I share a bedroom with my daughter.

Luminous motifs sparkle across the walls.

When she was a preschooler she often couldn’t fall asleep, bouncing around playfully while sleepy Mom just wanted rest…

The glow-stars saved us.

“Let’s turn it into night!” Switch off the lights and a starry sky appears.

We invented funny constellations—Mom Planet and Daughter Planet—battles and alliances alike.

Under that sky I’d whisper all the nice things about her until—who knows—she finally slept or played more. Those are precious memories.

Recently we renewed that wall! With new glow-items we each decorated our own section ^^

We even connected our two panels with a rainbow-like bridge!

On restless nights we can gaze at our handmade sky and chat again ^^

A Note from Our Team — Yamashita’s Corner

Hello! This is Yamashita, your newsletter editor.

One of my hobbies is diorama crafting — I’ve been into it since childhood.

I’ve always loved detailed, hands-on activities.

When playing with dolls as a child, I would build entire dollhouses out of cardboard — sometimes even miniature nations!

Apparently, my creativity was evident even in elementary school.

Now I craft tiny Japanese gardens or steampunk-style houses inside trays or boxes using materials from 100-yen shops.
I’m amazed that my hobby hasn’t changed much since childhood!

...Though surely the quality has improved!
Most parts are handmade using wooden stir sticks, clay, and DIY tools — creating miniature furniture, vases, books, and more.
I especially enjoy making mossy stone walls, ponds, and flooring.
My rule: "If I can’t find it at the 100-yen shop, I’ll make it myself!"
(Marie Antoinette — Yamashita)

Why not try making your own miniature garden? It’s also fun as a psychological activity!
