  I am making Tokin for Yamabusi / Tengu costume, a head gear. Real one is made from fabric, Urushi laquared. Mine is made from paper and Ikkanbari method Washi paper layered to make it study. 兜巾（ときん）を製作してみました。 本物は布でできていて漆で塗り固めたものだそうです。 私が作ったのは紙製で、一閑張りの手法で和紙を重ねて強くしてあります 紐と梵天をつけて出来上がる予定です Ｎａｔ

 2月のレッスン用に♡の折り紙。 I made some heart shape Origami for my class. Natsu

 Day 1. All embroidery-threads and tools are included. And outlines are ready printed. Let's start. Day 2. Day 3.  Day4. Day 5.  It's a bit tricky. The second cat from the right, I stitched the white base around orange. I do not want to finish the work and I am still enjoying the "uncompletion". I will work on it soon. I have learned this "enjoying-uncompletion" feeling is seen on vidiogames too. Like, Final Boss Syndrome or Post-Game Depression / Post-Game Blues. 終わりたくなくてこのままにしているんですがそろそろ完成させようかな… こういうのをゲームでも同じように感じることがあるそうで、ラスボス前症候群、と呼ぶそうです。 -Nat

 I gift box was arrived from UK. Everything we need for the embroidery was in one pack, like scissers, threads, needles... I started upon unpacking. イギリスから贈り物が届いた。 刺繍セット、必要なものがすべて入っている。 開けてすぐにスタート！ 刺繍、楽しい。 I really enjoy it. Nat

 I enjoyed firstly the museum of Banknote and Postage Stamp in Tokyo Ouji. お札と切手の博物館へ行ってきました。入場無料 You can enjoy the museum at free.  It is near to Asukayama Park, which is the very first park of Edo, Yoshimune Tokugawa planted Sakura cherries trees. 日本で初めての公園として有名な飛鳥山公園の近くです、ちなみに飛鳥山は東京で一番低い「山」ですよ。 I posted the note in my store's forum. For any questions and or any ideas, please visit there! Attic Nat "ENGAWA " forum Thank you for reading :-) Nat

  I am now challenging Fabric Zouri and made some thongs first. 布草履を作ってみようと思いまして、鼻緒を製作中です Handmade Souvenir  from Tokyo　 東京発 手作りお土産 Attic Nat です Natsu

 I found a cute measure at a stationary store.  Actually I was looking for a greeting card , there were not a good one. I like measure. I have some, yes, a measure could be for my work and also, whenever I got into a Kimono (or anything), I could measure the width or length if it would be suittable for myself. I prefer the measure with centimetres and inches, but this one is in only centimetres. すごいかわゆいメジャーを見つけて買ってしまった。本当はカードを買いに行ったんだけどね。文房具屋さんで。 メジャーは結構持ってて、でも仕事道具なのもあるし、それにいつだって着物（とかそれ系のアイテム）を見つけたときに幅を計って買うかどうかの目安をつけることができる。 本当は㎝とインチのやつだといいんだけど、これは裏も表もセンチでした…ま、いいや バッグに忍ばせるわよ。 ナツ

 The year 2026 is Year of horse, and I found a retro cookie can at a convinience store. This is TABEKKO DOUBUTSU biscuits, which is a tiny thin bisucuits with English printed on. My parents used to get  for us. It is kind of nostargic. I like these lovely cans and I can't help but buy it , or once I get, I can't never throw it away. 英語がプリントされているところが教育的という感じだったのだろうか、小さいころはよく父も母も買ってきてくれた。 なつかしの「たべっ子どうぶつ」 コンビニで缶が売ってたのでつい購入。午年だからね「Horse」を買ったよ。 ほかには猫もあったかなー。 何を入れよう？ ナツ

  あけましておめでとうございます Happy New Year I got a cold and was staying in the bed :-( Wishing all have a great new year! 風邪をひいて寝込んでいました…。 良き年となりますように☆ Natsu

 ホットケーキミックスでいちぢくのケーキを作りました シュトーレンにするつもりでお買い物に行ったのですが、ナッツとかドライフルーツとか省略しちゃおう！どうせすぐ食べちゃうかなってことでケーキに変更… お酒は、お庭で取れたレモンでつくってもらったカクテルです。ウォッカと・・・なんとかっていうお酒。忘れちゃったけど。 I made Fig cake. Actually I intended to make Stollen,but I omitted the nuts mix dryfuits mix , cooked with pancake dough with half dried fig pack. It was really good. Also , the glass is of cocktail made with lemon fruited in our garden. The book of bible came. This bible was a bit old but no problem for me. I save the shipping cost by another Japanese paper backs. Ok, and ,  Hopefully you enjoy your holiday season. ありがとうございます Thank you:-) Natsu

 My mom in law, she is getting dimentia, planted Lemon tree a couple years ago. She lost memories and she completely forgot about her Lemon tree. The lemon fruited very big, so she do not believe these are lemon (She planted) 義母が最近記憶をどんどん失っていっていて、数年前に自分で植えたレモンの木のことをすっかり忘れてしまった。レモンの実があまりにも大きいので、彼女はこの木がレモンだと信じない。でも、レモンです。 My hus says he will make some cocktail for me, maybe this weekend. And for lefts, I will make them preserved. 夫がカクテルを作ってくれると言ってた。たぶん今週末に飲めるかしら。残りは砂糖漬けにする予定です ナツ

  大好きな手芸屋さんがセール中だったのでふらふら会社の帰りに寄り道。 可愛い布とか、欲しかったビーズとか、パーツ類など購入。 虹色の糸なんかも… そしてお買い得品とか決算品とかを発見してそうだ、そういや… ロザリオを作ろうと思いついた パール、かわいいかな… ネックレスみたいにつけるのもいいけど失礼になっちゃったりするんだしな…と 最近は少しキリスト教のことを学んだので敬虔な気持ちをもって・・・ カトリックの方の本格的なロザリオの十字架とかは持っていないし（売っているところがあるみたいなんだけど）そこまでしたらなんとなく本当に失礼な気がしてこのへんでとどめておく。 After some days I learned about Christanity, I feel like this might be rude , I (not a christian ) craft a rosary. But I want to make it after some consideration anyway, and I made it. These pearly beads, I went to my favourite crafter's shop and purchased the other day. I knew the shop was on sale. Also with some beads I have alerady , combined them, ta-da! It is a really beautiful rosary. I do not have the cross and the middle parts, I know they are sold in Cathoric shop, but  I think it is not good because I have not yet be a christian. (nor I might not never, I do not know) I like rosaries, I like Juzu (buddhist rosary) too. They are all beautiful as they carries people's feith. Have a ...

   I have just started the new service! I came up with this idea and was really excited! Hopefully this a cup of coffee price service would be a good support for you. 占いのサブスクって思いついたときとてもわくわくしました コーヒー一杯分のお値段のサービスがあなたに幸せへの一歩をお届けできることを楽しみにしています Natsu

  When I first created my own website, everything was done by hand, and it took a lot of time and effort. Each little step I took back then has helped build my confidence today, though some skills I learned are no longer used. Not everything I learned at that time directly feeds into what I do now. Nowadays, there are wonderful services for building websites and online shops, and I am truly grateful for them. The support services are also reliable and reassuring. The platform I use even offers an AI support feature—24-hour chat assistance—which could be very convenient for a shop like mine that serves customers overseas. But I have no intention of using it. I see support as an important way for people to connect with each other. I want to be the one to respond, with care and attention, rather than leaving it to AI. So please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Even across time zones, I will respond personally. Let’s talk, properly and warmly. 私が初めて自分のホームページを作ったころ...

  I found lunch box friend featuring "Chojugiga" 鳥獣戯画, one of Japanese famous arts. The colours are in yellow and green in one package! 鳥獣戯画のランチカップを発見。黄色とグリーンが入っているみたいです。 可愛い！ -Nat

The three books of buddhism's sutras came. One is "Three Pure Land Sutra"(the right one), left one is Lotus Sutra, and the middle one is  Dainichikyo and Vajrasekhara Tantra. I have already done the Three Pure-Land Sutra. And am getting into Lotus sutra. アマゾンで注文した仏教典３冊届いて、三部経はもう読み終わり法華経にかかっています。 これが終わったら大日経・金剛頂経を読んで、岩波に入る予定。 Also, I am good stepping into Bible. FINALLY! I mean I had given up always before. 聖書の方もいい感じで進んでいます。やっと！って感じ。というのも以前何度かトライして挫折しているので… Nat
