Happy Thanksgiving

























It's the week of Thanksgiving and I wanted to be festive, so I secretly made this pumpkin and place it on D's desk (after he went to sleep) to surprise him on Thanksgiving morning!

Materials:  cotton stuffing, waxed string (used for sewing leather) to shape the pumpkin and to replicate the curls of the vine, a mix of yarn blended with raw wool yarn to tone down the brightness & to help with the transition of colors

The raw wool yarn was given to me by Janny when I visited her in Osaka last year, so thank you Janny! The yarn is unique and a rare find.

Pouf Poof, Long Overdue! No.1




A pouf was much needed in the house, but I'm a procrastinator until recently, I decided to get off my lazy bum and make it, so poof!  There are now more poufs in the house to accommodate D and my feet.

Materials: a good mix of yarn + hemp on top for durability
