Hello again

I don't know how I start to say...

It has been almost one year since my last update!!

I have two more blogs in Japanese.
1 : coconuts-soup (This is my first blog. About my life, like a diary)
2 : handmade shop in US (This is about my handmade, craft.)

To maintain 2 blogs, flickr, handmade, etsy shop....
It makes me difficult to post something here in English.
I don't have enough time!! plus I am not good at writing in English....

However, I am thinking to continue this blog. Because my sales of etsy reached 200 last week and most of my customers are from USA and international.
Thank you so much!!

I feel I should share my craft here in English. Addition, I would like to know about you guys! who share wonderful craft thorough the blogs out there.
(If you are interested in my craft, please join as a reader! :D)

But my time is tight! I can't change about it.
So I will move my blog No.2 to here. I hope some of Japanese reader continue to enjoy my craft life here.
I wanted to continue my first blog. Because It has been more than 5 years!! and a lot of my friends are looking forward reading this blog.


All right! Let's start to talk about handmade!



This is the set of 4 coasters made from Michael Miller Christmas fabric.
I made Christmas stocking with these colorful cheerful fabric. They also came out very nice, too!

Now I have a lot of scrap left. So I decided to make the coasters.
To make a coaster, I pieced the tiny fabric to make log cabin


I am very satisfied how it turned out! Coaster is great items as a gift!!

Here is another set of 4
I love these, too. They found new home now. Thank you!!

I have couple more ideas to make coasters.
I hope I will share about it by the next weekend!

Thank you for reading.
Have a great weekend!


Oh, anyways
This is my working table.   If you have any experience to make something from your scraps, you would understand this messy messy table. :D

christmas card

I won the last week giveaway from Winks & Daisies !!

I really love her design. You should go check it out!

Her job is excellent. She is really nice person and show me some opition to choose from. I am pretty sure to come back to her shop next time.

I will develope the photo card this weekend and send to my family & friends next week.

Happy merry christmas to everyone!

crayon case

Recently I made a crayon case for my son. It holds 16 crayons. Because my son really like to draw something. ( He can drwau line and circle so far. he is just turn to be two years old.)
I will put this crayon case in his Christmas stocking.

Anyways I love the result that I made. Isn't it cute? This is simple fabric and my favorite polka dots combination!

It holds 8 crayons inside. My crayon case has top. So crayon doesn't fall inside the bag.

I have two more design to choose from.

Bird fabric and brown polka dots. I attached vintage lace on front cover. It gives the crayon case more sweet style.

This one is animal and polka dots combination. Fabric is from Michael Miller.
I think this is good design for Boys.

These are avairable in my Esty store and I am thinking about making a few more.
