I have been working on some plush hamburgers for the Renegade Fair and for friends and there has been a huge demand for these little guys!  They are fun to make and funny to look at.  I made them as ornaments for the Holiday Renegade Fair and they were a big success, so I thought that I should add them to my permanent collection. (They will soon be available on Etsy!)  This particular hamburger was a gift for my Dad’s Birthday because he loves In N Out Burgers. I made him a special Double Double with no Cheese.  In N Out was generous enough to even give me a unused Double Double wrapper!  He loved it!

I’m back and I still can’t get over this jet lag!  This week went by so fast!  Coming back from Japan has really got me inspired, everything in Japan is so cool and so well designed!  I wish I lived there… I am excited to be back and start working on ideas I came up with while in Japan.  I am hoping to unveil some cool new designs with new fabrics for the upcoming holiday craft fairs. I think it is going to be pretty different than what I have now, but don’t worry, if you like the current line I won’t be getting rid of that.  I am also preparing for craft shows is December.  Yay Renegade!! They are coming back for a second time this year for some Christmas shopping!  Mei and I will be sharing a booth once more.  I heard there are a ton more vendors this time around too so come by and check it out!  I will try and post my progress of the new stuff! Cheers!

I have been making some new designs and I really want to try out some new screens!  Here are a couple that I made for a friend.  The radish was a concept I originally had for a screen design and wanted to see what it would look like in felt.  I can’t get as much detail as in the screen print but I still kind of like it.  Should I make it into a felt tee?

I found this site “oh, hello friend”, and everything about it is so lovely!  Danni, the publisher and creator was at the Renegade Fair as well,  a couple booths away from me.  She sells the most darling little flower hair clips and jewelry.  I love her stuff, especially the Robot!!

I found more pictures from the show!  Mei, my friend and booth buddy makes amazing one of a kind jewelry!  Her table was specially designed and absolutely beautiful!

Hello!!  Renegade Craft Fair is coming July 18+19th to San Francisco and I will be in the show!  This is my first show with Renegade and I am really excited!!  There will be a ton of cool designers so come make the trip and check it out!  I will be selling a ton of tees and blankets at a discounted price, and also a few other new things, but you will have to stop by to see what they are!  Cheers!

stitched faces…these handmade plushes are so darling! I found Danielle on Etsy and her little bears, bunnies, and  kittens are so charming!  I love her choice of fabrics and materials and she has a great sense for creating plushes that pull her out from the rest on Etsy.  Her images are great as well, its as if the little guys got in trouble and had to sit in the corner for punishment, especially the sad ones.

Hina Aoyama is an amazing paper designer! She is a Japanese paper designer living in France.  I found her site and I was so amazed by the detail in her designs!  I can’t even imagine how she would even start a piece like this! Absolutely beautiful!  She also has her work on Flickr.

Boodalee has simple clean designs to spark any kids room!  I love their graphic illustrations and colors.  I would like to get some wall decals for my room!
