Some of my favorite craft books

I would like to share some of my favorite craft books. I have a few nuigurumi Japanese craft books, which I love they have a retro style, they are beautiful. There are a lot of plush cuties waiting to be born. The book with little girl on cover is filled with Alice in Wonderland themed projects and little girls clothes, super cute.






















The next bunch of books were originally published in Japanese then translated English.

This fella was a lot of work he is completely hand stitched, and took me a lot longer than expected. I made him from wool felt which I never worked with before. I think he came out really cute. I will be using this method again but on a smaller scale, I like the retro, vintage style look of it.

Working on many new projects :)

I am working on many new projects this week, a really cute wool felt wiener dog with a black top hat (Japanese kawaii from Japanese craft book Tabatha Naomi). I pretty retro apron with red and white polka dotted fabric. More guinea pigs out of corduroy, fun to make. Also really cute. And a new tote bag made from a retro style owl printed corduroy. I am all over the place this week.
I have been also asked to participate in a craft fair labor day weekend, which I have decided to do. So that puts a lot of work on my plate for the next month.
Hopefully wiener pup will be done tonight and posted tomorrow. So I am busy, but it is a good busy. :)
