Attic Nat on blogger

I made some ponies and listed. This green one has very traditional patterns fabric covered buttons. Kemai and Seigaiha. Kemai is the pattern you can see on the Shishimai Lion dance.  And the seigaiha , the repeated wave pattern is a symbol of eternal and peace. Green is also a symbol of "ever" in Japan. I listed else, like pinky purple ones, very gentle color, vivid purple and white combination one. What kind of designs you like? Unique traditional one, or modern design, soft color, retro bold design? -Natsu  

When you visit to Tokyo, Asakusa Sensouji temple is one of the "must" in your list , I believe. You can see a huge lantern hung on the temple gate.  There are two giant gods are placed there, Fujin a god of wind and Raijin , a god of thunder. I like this motif very much. I made some chopsticks wrap, scrunchies and maybe more in future of course.  I listed some chopsticks on my shop. You will find Fujin Raijin chopsticks and Fujin Raijin Chopsticks wrap too. Hopefully you enjoy the Japanese religious vibes. Best regards, Natsu  

I had in hectic days and finally got a small time for crafting. I went to Asakusabashi last week and got some new parts so I  made some new accessories from those ones. Most of them are for myself.  I joined a trial class of Tonbodama ball glass crafting last week, in Asakusabashi. and made glass balls. I really enjoyed! I made these into Obidomes , the ornaments of Obijime codes.  The day, and those lovely crafted things by myself were lovely Christmas gifts for me.   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

I made new toothpick holders, simple ones. These are now listed (and are going to be listed) on my Etsy shop. 20pcs+ extra toothpicks will go with this sleeves. I like this buddha fabrics recently. I made in two designs. and in blue. (Two designs)  ( I am now planning to make a pocket prayer, Oratorio de bolso of Buddhism from this fabric. ) And another toothpick cases in different fabric pieces. -Nat

A couple of weeks passed since I crammed in my attic last time. I stepped my sewing machine watching a detective drama. I purchased new fabrics a few weeks ago, at Nippori, Textile Town. I fell in love with this fabric of Oshakasama Buddha. And my Goshuin notebooks are going to be out of stock and will get some new ones. Nat  

  I made a pair of Sushi earrings. This type of Sushi, which is wrapped a strip of Nori , called GUNKAN, warship. I added parts just like dream catcher nets. I wish this earrings will bring you a big victory and many fortunes (IKURA, salmon roe is same sound of "How much"). -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

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

Etsy's listing system will be updated from in June and I am so dissatisfied with that, as this means from on the x day of June, the Etsy's website creator is also go away. We can only list the new items on our website by Pattern (Etsy's running) from the ex-listing system. :-( I am at bit sad that the first page of this blog is like this. This blog might be my journals about running my own website and etsy. Catchy lovely colour gradation hydrangea, blooming outside of my office in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. I really love hydrangea. -Nat
