Lily.
Pattern taken from the previous book, this book seems to be hard to get hold of, so for anyone having trouble trying to track it down, try this
On the left of this page, in the browsing box, click on the 'Japanese books' link.
Then, in the category box, click on the 'living, health,parenting' link.
Next, click on the 'handicraft/craft' link.
On the left of this page, you will see the 'new releases' section, click on the link at the bottom, and I think this book is about number 32 in the list.
Good luck, it really is a lovely book, there are over 25 patterns in total and well worth the hassle in trying to get it.
In the meantime, here is another cracker.
Sorry, there isn't an ISBN .
Again, there are lots of lovely projects in here,
Cute penguin bag
Cute penguin pencil case (I must get to grips with zips one day).
A lovely scarf,
and corsage.
Felt cups
Stockings
Placemats and boxes
with matching finger puppets.
Cute !
Trees, trees
and more trees.
I have no idea how to get hold of this - I was lucky enough to sweet- talk lovely Siow Chin into a swap, thank you SO MUCH Siow Chin !, I think you can sometimes purchase cotton & paint at amazonjp and yesasia, and I would imagine e-mailing Kitty would also be a good option.
Happy hunting, and Happy Weekend !

I am IN LOVE with those Cotton & Paint magazines! I managed to find one here in Sydney at Kinokunya. I've got to make a special trip into the city to get the next edition. 3 months is so long to wait.

Lily is just to cute!
I love the Japanese books you've shown. I don't have any yet - I guess it's about time, huh?
I think I'll try, to get my hands on the one, with the super sweet bunny on the cover and it's not even that expensive. Well it might be before it gets here though, we pay 25% in tax on all items + toll and shipping, so it ends up pretty steep!
But it IS lovely!

I love Lily, I saw her on Flickr this morning first thing!!! FYI, The Japanese craft book it came from is here at my Japanese bookstore, so I can easily get my hands on it if anyone is interested in swapping. I love the pics you posted today, that little tree in the last picture is sooooo cute, what a neat idea. I may have to attempt something like that.

Lily is too cute for words...& Felt teacups! I am tickled pink at the prospect! (Mine will of course end up looking like chipped gravy boats; but try them, I must!) Thanks, for another inspir-fix :>)

Delurking to say thanks. I really appreciate all of your posts and wonderful inspiration.
Posted by: rungirlrun | November 26, 2005 at 03:11 AM
Ahh! Lily is so cute! I am desperate for those books. I am trying to save money for my sons Christmas presents though. Why do they want plastic toys instead of felt tea cups??? Why does my husband want a PS2 instead of a penguin pencil case?
Posted by: Melissa | November 26, 2005 at 05:07 AM
Fab---u--lOUS!!! Lily is adorable, thanks for all the inspiration Lyn... I have to get my sewing room (I mean dining room) cleaned up to try out some of this:D
Posted by: carly | November 26, 2005 at 12:08 PM
Thanks for providing the link for the book, not least for the hilarious Google translations ... how on earth do they get "The male of the customer be completed degree" from "Average Customer Review"!!!
Posted by: Hattie | November 26, 2005 at 06:26 PM
Lily is adorable. As for the other, I didn't see it, I didn't see it...
