Attic Nat 制作日記 | 着物ハギレとこっそり手仕事

I've been so many countries in my younger hood. Thai is one of my favorite country, I have been there a couple decades ago.   Many asian cuisines we can meet in Tokyo. Thai too. @999 tokyo I 'd love to go with my best friend next time. -Nat

 Listed new earrings. New fox mask charm and sword. Sword earrings are inspired Kimetsu or Roronoa Zoro.  And I got a pair of cat charm , and made new one. Cat in a bath of Nihoncha greentea mag, very lovely. Nat

I made five tied up monkeys in one amulet and will list it on my Etsy shop. and Kimetsu demon slayer inspired earrings. and goldfish earrings.  Kingyo gold fish is loved as charms of fortunes since old good Edo period in Japan. This is told from ancient china culture. Gyo (sakana, fish) is same pronouce as YUI, fortunes, and "Kin" means gold. Kingyo reminds us summer and Summer Festivals because we enjoy Kingyo small gold fish scoops. -Natsu

 This round shaped amulet, just like a flower buds, is called Kukuri-zaru, tied up monkey. This small object is drew in some Japanese traditional paintings like Hokusai and Ukiyoe. A "monkey" is "SARU" in Japanese, which is same sound as "(go)away" . So this talisman is for keeping you away from unluckiness and or evils. Also, when you write "monkey" in Chinese character, it is pronounced as "En" as well as "saru". En leads "Go-En" , linking to good connections, good relations to lucks and happiness. And go is same sound as 5 (five) , so we often see them of five pieces in a chain. Looking this monkey well, you can see his arms and legs are tied up. This is for reminding you to be calm, without any hectic, just concentrate to your wish until it comes true. -Nat

I made some pincushion from  PET bottle caps. I am satisfied with this Eco project myself. Once we noticed ,there are so many colors and with unique logo.  -Nat

I enjoyed some Netflix , Hulu and Disney+ these days. I like Mackenyu, who did Roronoa Zoro in "OnePiece". I worked for my etsy shop and made some new earrings. Let me share one of them here. Sakura Cherry blossoms, butterfly Choucho earrings with acrylic chams. It is difficult to show the real pink of this item. -Nat

 My workplace is so tiny now and I feel like family. My senior colleague got Krispy Kreme for us the other day. Lovely doughnut made me happy. -Nat

  Edo Kiriko glass. I use this glass with iced coffee, juice, milk as well, and Sake alcohol. I made "new" cocktail with IncaCola and Japanese Shouchu, Tantakatan (Red one). It was really good!  This was my TGIF last week. Talking about Shouhu, Kyushu's(south of Japan) are famous but this Tantakatan is from Hokkaido (north of Japan). And Inca Kola, yes. I have been to Peru two decades ago. I really love Peru. One of the reason I am learning Spanish is for Peru. I found the bottle of InkaKola at a import foodie shop , Kaldi . You will find something unique here. -Nat

On Thursday, I worked for my Etsy shop and made three new scrunchies from Yukata fabric. They're all made up so lovely.  Also I worked on some earrings and chopsticks project. Let me share how to wrap the chopsticks gif anime here ;  I tried to up this gif to my Etsy but it didn't work. -Nat

 On a Sunday afternoon,  I went to a botanical shop half an hour away from home. It was a kind of birthday gift to my mom in law who loves garden. I also enjoyed and picked some plants for myself. Rosemary and parsley in one pot looks lovely. Actually I want them in the kitchen, but I hate bugs and of course plants need sun. I will enjoy cooking and meals. -Nat  

 I read an article about the gaps of effectives between males and females who take alcohols often. I think that is because the gaps of his /her weight, according to the article,  female is likely to get more diseases than male even though they took the same amount of alcohols.  (Hope my English does make sense) So I decided I only have a can or a glass of it, and once in a week. Or two times a week at the most. Harekaze Kirin beer is the latest debut one, I don't recognize any difference from the other beers. -Nat  

  Clear blue sky and cloud is just like a painting. One afternoon in Saitama -Nat

 I made new earrings and updated my Etsy shop . These pair is my number one today! Tengu, Kitsune fox, Shrine gate, Tori-i, Sakura. All four earrings are made up very lovely! Blue one can be used in two ways (or more ways). The red main earrings only and with the stopper, the charms are shown under your ears. -Nat

Ironed two fabric cases for Hashi chopsticks and my daughter's shirts for her school. She has two and we are so busy. I like book covering. I am now reading " How starbucks saved my life" by Michael Gates Gill. Covering paper is the wrapping paper of Kyukyo-dou. > Kyukyo-do The store is in Ginza Tokyo, located on the most expensive street in Japan. You can look their items online store here : https://www.kyukyodo-shop.co.jp/ I love their Nioibukuro, incense bag for my Kimono chests. My mom in law used to purchase papers for Shodou Calligraphy. (Now I am using those papers for my Shakyo :-) --Scribing Kyou Buddhist prayers. -Nat
