I love the fabrics in this little quilt.

I'd love to make one of these for my toddlers-- I could see it occupying one 2 year old I know for quite a while.

1st japanese craft book

So, there has been a lot out there in crafty blog land about japanese craft books. I’ve envied the ones posted over on angry chicken over and over. There’s this hand made felt one I’ve been drooling over for months now. Then this blog got started and I started browsing the eBay sellers. Well, here’s what I got in the mail today:

I’m pretty excited about the baby elephant. It’s the perfect size for a punch-needle project. And my kids are definitely getting hedgehogs for Christmas. The patterns are clear and easy to follow, despite the fact they are in japanese.

I’m sure this won’t be my last japanese craft book.
