Nika
This is who arrived today, all the way from Australia.
Isn't she the sweetest thing ?.
She was made by the very talented Melissa and she's the cutest little dolly I've ever seen, even Molly loves her and Molly doesn't 'do' dollies. I've put her on my shelf so she sits smiling at me while I'm sewing.
: )
Here's another craftbook - I think you can safely say it's an obsession, but at least I know I'm not alone.
Book 7.
ISBN 4 579 10968 6
Lots of lovely bags in this one
Bags for holding c.d's , cameras and I-pods,
I like this one.
I'd like to see this one slung over my shoulder, when riding my bike ( if I had one),
and a very cute little doggy bag, I'm not sure how practical this one is, but who cares ?. There are also pot holders, oven gloves, book covers, softies, cushions and eye masks.
So much to try and so little time, in fact , just thinking about all these projects makes a girl tired, so Nika and I are off to bed.
Night, night.
Very Cute! I wish i had the money to start an obsession with Japanese craft books but i fear that if i start with one i won't be able to stop. So, instead i admire everyone elses!

Nika is so cute (and the background is great) I keep seeing Melissa's adorable little ones popping up everywhere. The bags are incredible.

One of the things that separates us from the apes is the ability to accessorize - I'd be buying a bike.

Nika is a cutie! I've been looking at that Zakka book for a while now, thanks for posting the pictures from it. I may have to get this one too!
