I’ve been dying to try my hand at sashiko embroidery ever since I found a book on it at Mitsuwa. I decided to try out an apron pattern for my amazing accomplice Miss Mariko. (If there is ever a crafting version of The Amazing Race I want her as my partner!) Hopefully this will keep her neat and tidy while she bakes all her yummy goodies.
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.
You are so talented! Is there anything you CAN’T do?
The embroidery is very beautiful! Mitsuwa is on my list of weekend visits for sometime soon.
I showed my desk today too, thanks to your inspiration.
Love your website! Inspirational, educational and cute, cute, cute!
Ack! I am so excited! I am going to be the most stylin’ baker this side of the Mississippi! Thank you so much, and of course it was not necessary (see, I can say that because I know you already sent the package. Heh heh). You are really amazingly talented. Hate to fawn, but there you go.
Lovely! Your embroidery is so nice. And I can totally sympathize with your “desk” this week having gone through that myself for the past many years. Sigh. But they are so happy when you let them have a bare bum and you play with them on the changing table.
No comments on the crafts- just for the babe’s butt. Get him some Weleda diaper ointment. You’ll never use anything else again. Believe me. I’m a mom.
Yay! I get to meet you and maybe the boo-hoo baby to boot.
It’s gonna be a crazy day, but I can’t wait to meet you.
the apron is fab! and mariko’s baked goodies are gorgeous! i’m a baker girl myself, and so i especially appreciate the lovely apron and kitchen confections.
no real desk for me to share (i have to clean up my craft table every night because of the pets) but it’s neat seeing everyone else’s workspaces.
That is so beautiful – I am inspired yet again. I am off to look up sashiko embroidery on the web. xx
yah, that embroidery is lovely!
and your “desk” is so sweet! what a nice idea.
hope that rash clears up pronto!!

Yay! I can’t wait to meet you tomorrow. I think it will be fun shopping. I love your apron and the fabulous embroidery. You are such a superstar!
Ooooooh…if I had known you were getting into sashiko, I would have also sent you some fun sashiko thread (in all kinds of variegated colors, solids, etc.). There are awesome kits, prestamped linens, books…I put this in my amazon wishlist three days ago:
