Attic Nat 制作日記 | 着物ハギレとこっそり手仕事

 Here's I unpacked Poke-ori (Poket weaving kit ) .  Kawaguchi POKEORI kit : https://pokeori.jp/ I shooted doing Pokeori (And I am not a film-editting thing person.) Just keep here for my memory. -Natsu

 I bought the Cohana's sewing set can. 8th anniversary  Daruma red one. To save the shipping cost ;-) , I also bought Kawaguchi's poke-ori , weaving kits, some threads packages and thread card pendant tops.  (Kawaguchi's poke-ori webpage is in Japanese but the kit has English instructions) I will make a new posting about Poke-ori later. -Natsu

I am collecting shrines and temples visitors stamps. Let me share how I glue on the goshuin (slips ones) on my notebook.   -Nat

 I listed some items , like Goshuin-notebook and cover and again some toothpicks. This successive triangles pattern is called "UROKO" in Japan, meaning "scales". This pattern is symbol of "protection". You can see the Japanese Kanji and Hiragana letters on back side. They says "頃は", means "when" " the time for " . This seems to be a line of a Waka, Japanese old Tanka poetry. For an example, there is one Waka of Hyakunin-ishu, Hundred Poet Hundred Poem 夜もすがら　もの思ふ頃は　明けやらで ねやのひまさへ　つれなかりけり Yomosugara Monoomou"korowa" Akeyarade Neyanohimasae Tsurenakarikeri -Shunkei Osho (Natsu Translation) All night long, a night you think about someone , the dawn comes slowly that is why I feel that thin openings of the door even mean to me. ーNat

The day before yesterday, I got a message from my customer. She was so kind to feedback to me by convo, (at the moment she wrote me, she could not leave feedback through Etsy, so she gave me the message she received the items and told me she love them.) It made me so happy. *** I listed some items.  I made a pack of pincushion and matching thread card. I made this pincushion from a PET bottle cap, recycled up. Very small and useful enough. I like to keep my thread remnant by some papers, this gave me the idea of thread card set. I also made some toothpick holders too. And cut the cardboards for those crafts, had a good day! Nat
