Merry Christmas! and announcement where I donated my profit from Etsy

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!
I can't believe that I didn't post anything LOOOOOOONG TIME.
The reason is this.

I am pregnant!
This is the reason why I was busy for a while and there's no time for me to keep up my blog.
My baby's due date is in less than 2 months, so I guess I will be a little more busier to get ready for that.

Not only my pregnancy, but I also have another announcement.
That is... I finally donated my profit from my Etsy shop!!!!
It was not that easy to make this decision. I didn't want to donate to somewhere I can't trust.
In the end, I found the project that volunteers giving the presents to the children who lost everything by earth quake.
Here's the link of the report that they giving out the presents to those children yesterday and today.

It's all written in Japanese, but you can see their photos of happy smiles.
I donated $55 amount of Christmas candies.
According to them, that covers presents for 10 children!!!!

I am glad that I could do something about it, and I really appreciate people who bought my products from my Etsy shop.
I wish everybody will have a great holiday season wherever you are!!!!!

Getting ready for Halloween :)

I am getting more and more excited about Halloween.
When I am driving, I can see many spooky house decorations all around the town.
That makes me more and more excited.

Here are some stuff I put up on my Etsy shop related to Halloween.

Skeleton Brooch

Jack-O-Lantern Brooch

A Bat Necklace

A Bow Tie Necklace

All of those products are made of 100% wool. I used special needle to make soft wool into solid felt.
They are still very soft and compare to the regular felt, they are three-dimensional.
Needle felted products will give you cozy and warm feeling especially fall/winter season.

I am going to create some more stuff for upcoming season for sure!
It would be very nice of you if you can keep checking my products at here or on Etsy.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Here's the new products!

 Needle Felted An Orange Flower Brooch

 Needle Felted Brooch A Blue Flower

 Needle Felted Brooch A Lavender color Flower

All of those flowers are made of 100% wool.
They are soft yet solid and give you warm, cozy feeling.
It fits the fall / winter season for sure :)

Besides, those flower brooches, I also made a brooch for upcoming fun event; Halloween!!!!!

Needle Felted Brooch: Skeleton

Wow, it's already September!!!!!
I was quite busy past few months and there's no time & energy for writing my blog nor adding new stuff on Etsy.
Finally today I add a new product of mine on my Etsy shop! Hooray!

Needle Felted Brooch：Skeleton

Actually I originally made this for celebrating the opening of "Pirates of Caribbean" 4.(http://hirokohandmade.blogspot.com/2011/05/pirates-of-caribbean-is-back.html)

I tried to finish this as a brooch and wear it for the movie, however I didn't have enough time to finish it.
In the end, I've never wore it and it stayed in my unfinished project box.

Now I realize that it is good time to finish it because HALLOWEEN IS COMING!!!!!!
And here it is! The finishing product of skeleton brooch!!!!

You can put it on your scarf, or

You can put it on your cool hat. Wherever you like :)

I am going to switch my gear from "Summer vacation mode" to "Going back to my regular life".

That means more handmade stuff are coming up here and my Etsy shop!!!! (I hope...)
