NEW PRODUCT: EMERY GRAIN PINCUSHION

This is my new product: Emery Grain Pincushion! I filled the hexagon flower pincushion with emery grain that I got from my friend Nil of http://www.nakpunar.etsy.com/.
Emery grain is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive. Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it off the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle.
I express my sincere thanks here again to Nil to let me use her emery for my pincushion!

I haven't added this to my Etsy shop yet, but its price will be $14 and all you can to do to get it is to contact me, you know.

EDIT: It's in my shop now (6/1). Today I added it. Please click the title to go to the item's page! But there are more coming! :)

SAKIZOME PURSE

This is the first time I used these fabulous Japanese "sakizome" yarn dyed fabrics for a project. I like these fabrics so much that I couldn't get myself to use them for something until now. I always admired these "sakizome" fabrics that were used in the Japanese patchwork magazines, but it took a while for me to get some.
I didn't add this purse to my Etsy shop for the time being, but it's possible to buy it through this blog. If you like it, the price will be $28 and all you have to do to get it is just to contact me at incigungor3@yahoo.com.

KAI NO KUCHI STITCH MARKER CASES

These are the "Kai no Kuchi" boxes that I made as stitch marker cases. I think they turned out to be very cute and with the needle case a good combination as a commodity.

これはステッチマーカーとして作った「貝の口」2個です。とてもかわいく、編み棒ケースと一緒に売れる商品として、いい組み合わせとなったと思いますね。

KNITTING NEEDLE CASE-SOLD!

This is the finished needle case. I thought this was a very creative idea and a sell-able item for my shop. I think I'll make another one to put in my shop!
これは完成品です。
とても創造的で実用的アイデアで、売れるものだと思ったので、もう一個作って、ネットショップに入れるつもりです。

Finally I completed the knitting needle case and listed it in my Etsy shop so that the lady can make the purchase. She bought it yesterday as she said she would and then she wanted me to add 2 matching jewelry boxes to her order of the needle case. She said that she could use them for storing her stitch markers.

やっと編み棒ケースの注文を仕上げて、買い手の方が購入できるように、ネットショップに追加しました。彼女はそれを昨日買ったのですが、その後はケースに合うような「貝の口」2個を注文に追加してもらいたかったのです。ステッチマーカー（目数リング）を入れるために使うと言われました。

A CUSTOM ORDER: KNITTING NEEDLES CASE

I started working on an unexpected custom order on Friday: A lady who bought 4 of my "Kai no Kuchi" boxes on Etsy wants me to make her a knitting needle case! She said that she liked the patchwork pen case in my shop and wanted me to modify it with green family colored fabrics to accomodate her 10" knitting needles! I got started right away!

金曜日に、思いがけない注文が入りました。Etsyにて「貝の口」を4個買ってくれた方は編み棒ケースを注文しました。うちのネットショップにあるペンケースを10"の編み棒が入れるようにみどり系の布で作ってもらいたいのです。もちろんすぐにこの仕事に取り掛かりました。
