New mag

Cotton & Paint winter edition

With the emphasis on soft and snuggly.

Felt bird

Slippers..

with optional flowers/ pom-poms.

Cat purse

Nice bag

Hodge-codge pin cushion. In Molly's world, a hedgehog was originally called a hodge-codge, then it was a hedge-codge, and then one day she learned how to pronounce it correctly - that was a sad day in this house. :  ( 

Beaded snowflake mobile.

Cute book cover.

Paper arts. This is just a paper cone that's been attacked by the cute virus.

Hello reindeers, see you in a few weeks !

Finally, some nice christmas card ideas.

Is this card Christmassy though ? Or is it a new year card ? Maybe next year is Year of the Hodge-codge ?

If you want to buy this, you can get it at Amazon jp here , or on e-bay here and here.

I'll be back on friday with the with the baby boots pattern and some shop news.

That looks great, I'm going to try and find a copy too.
I think the card at the bottom is a New Year card because next year is Year of the Boar. I wish there was Year of the Hodgecodge!

Oh I love the little hedgehog pincushion!! Even the Japanese stores near my area do not stock that magazine.. -_- one day!

Thanks so much for sharing so many pics from the December issue. Still hands down my favorite craft mag.

[Zabrina]

I am drooling over my computer screen. These images are so cool!!! Thanks for sharing.

[Kelli]

ay, I drool over these! I don't know where to find this kind of stuff in Arizona. I suppose I could start with Amazon.

[raspberryfairy]

Wow, I looked at the price on eBay, and whooooooo, hmm, how do I sneak that by the husband!?

[Alex]

Oh yes, clearly a boar not a hedgehog, too bad. A year of the hedgehog would be awfully nice!
I think with all those pictures given by the seller on ebay nobody needs to buy that magazine... surely enough for getting some inspiration.

[Sarah]

That last little card is too cute. Such a pity that I am not able to buy these things locally, and am too cheap to spend $30US to buy a magazine.

[Mama Urchin]

Those slippers, love them.

[Jenny-up the hill]

I love the reindeer! And the slippers are too sweet. Thanks for sharing!!

[carolyn]

Wonderful mag,and the hodge codge card is adorable. Alexander could never say penguin it was always pinguin, so cute.

[Kristy]

So beautiful thanks for sharing.Do you think it's worth the £18 ebay.co.uk price?

[juju]

I like that felt bird/cage/bell thing! Thanks for sharing Lyn.

[Madame Trapo]

this magazine is great!
;)

i love the shoes.

[kirsten]

oh, i think those little reindeer (or similar ones) will be stopping at our house, too! thanks for the inspiration!

[Kimberly Sherrod]

I'm going out to find wire hangers, right now!!!!! Thanks for sharing this delightful mag!!

[fleur]

How nice!

[risa]

omg! too much cuteness! i can´t stop staring...

[Rebecca in rural Ireland]

What is it about kiddy shoes/slippers, I have a real want to make some, thanks for that photo.

In our house my youngest calls jellyfish 'jellypus' and hippos 'hypnobotamus'. I use those terms too in a bid to preserve the cuteness factor as long as possible!!! Hodgecodge is exceedingly cute!

[Angelina]

Obviously I need to get some of these Japanese craft books.

[Rebecca]

Oh thank you so much for sharing, I love those reindeer, am off to rumage through the fabrics right now.

[Kitty Jimjams]

That baby boots pattern will be Just In Time... ;D

[Wendy]

Too cute, you are so clever to do those. I like to just look!

[Julie]

Those little slippers are so cute with their little square toes and polka dot lining and the hodge-codge pin-cushion is great - thanks for sharing.

[Mrs G]

I love those reindeer, too :)

actually, I don't see anything I'd at which I'd turn up my nose!

and I love the Hodge-Codge story...what a sweet memory :)

[Dawn Castro]

I went right over to amazone jp and bought up the cotton & oaint magazine!! I love you for that but my hubby will hate you after he gets the bill!!! Love you goodies and blog!

[Nic]

The Japanese craft stuff is gorgeous.

[Passions & Distractions]

Lord, I'm saving up for a trip so I swore off all non-gift spending, but I'm so close to caving for this magazine....

[Jessica]

Hey, thanks so much for posting the Amazon.co.jp link! I have looked for it there before, but I could never tell whether the items were being sold by Amazon or individual sellers, and I couldn't imagine asking one about international shipping with the language barrier!

Anyway, I was amazed, I bought two copies (one for a friend) on Sunday night, and they arrived (NE United States) in Wednesday's mail. $31 for two copies, including shipping. Totally worth it, and lots better than Ebay.

Also, the calendar inside is so cute! I cannot understand why American magazines don't seem to have picked up on the "free gift" idea that the magazines of so many other countries seem to so heartily embrace!
