In 2023, I focused on my own stitching. It was something necessary for me to rebalance my mission, hope, and even burden. As a result, I kind of neglected my business side activities… and there are quite many updates & announcements I want to make. As this account is mainly for the “Sashiko Stories”, I do not wish to keep posting the announcement for items, product, workshops & such… so if you are interested in Sashiko from a shopping & technical perspective, please also follow the business account @UpcycleStitches . I will share a purchase page for some colors of Sashiko thread like the photo soon (hopefully).

As I had shared in yesterday’s live streaming, in order to step into deeper explanation of what Sashiko is, I need to be courageous to talk about the “Spiritual” side of Sashiko, which is probably very natural & ordinary for us as Japanese, yet pretty Spiritual in Western Ordinary. As it is always a BAD IDEA to mix “Money” and “Spiritual” (unless the goal is to make a cult), I will focus on “Sashiko Stories” more here than ever. I will try my best to use both accounts here and @UpcycleStitches – so please follow both to get all the updates from me.

That being said… just one announcement I keep forgetting! I will be in Brooklyn next weekend on Friday (evening) Jan 12th and Saturday 13th for the 1-Day [Core & Essence] Workshop at @loopoftheloom . I cannot remember the last time I had a pop-up store… so it is a rare chance to see what we offer while touching them. Some of the items are going to be available for sale. I will make an official announcement once I know the exact time. I am very happy to be able to be there again!

本年の最初の配信、愚痴から入ってしまい大反省をしているところなのですが、その後のやりとりで無事ホテルの変更をしてもらい、「やっぱり米国という国では意見を主張しないと駄目なんだなぁ」と。丁寧に失礼がないような抗議であれば後腐れなくお互いにメリットがある形で纏め直せる（セカンドチャンスがある）というのは、この国の本当に素晴らしい所だと思っています。慣れるまでマジでキツイけど。

そんな配信でもお伝えしましたが、早速2024年、運針会開催のご希望を頂きました。「2月13日（火）午前9時〜午後1時までの4時間弱」で開催できればと思っています。詳細はこちらのブログを一読下さい。（https://sashico.com/?p=4865）。運針は難しくないですし、私は怖くないです（笑）4時間あっという間だったという工夫も重ねていますし、運針に自信を持ちたい方は是非受講を検討下さいませ。希望はDMかリンク先のお問い合わせよりご連絡ください！（写真はビジネスアカウント @UpcycleStitches で紹介する予定の糸です！）
