I am a superstar. I was able to (for the first time in my short career as a mother) coax Oscar back to sleep after he woke up from a super short napper. hooray! So I used my extra free time to finish this Pretty Princess paperweight from the Omiyage book. This is my second one. I made the first for my 14 year old niece as a “good luck at high school” present. I’m sure she thinks I’m a wacko. This one is for my husband’s desk so all his co-workers can think so too.

My Book
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
I think she’s cute!
I learn something new every day…and today I learned that Omiyage refers to little gifts or souvenirs. What I don’t know is…how to pronounce it!
