I have a little puppy eagerly looking for a new home ( haven't I been the busy one this week ! )
You can find him here.
And I have a new Japanese craft magazine to drool over here..
isbn 4 529 04332 0
It has lots of very cute clothes for little girls and one or two things for boys too
I love this skirt and top,
and this coat is too much - I want one. Now.
These little shorts look sweet,
and this is sweet too.
There are a couple of patterns for toys
a lovely wall-hanging pocket thingie,
some cute hair things,
and some sweet shoes/teddy and cushion.
There are also inspirational pages of children's rooms and a cute little Colobockle story.
This is a lovely book to buy particularly if you have a little girl to dress up.
Did you all spend money at Kitty's ? When I went back to have another look this morning, a load of stuff was gone, heh heh. Fabric addicts ? - Us ? - *Possibly*
; )
That puppy is an absolute cutie! How do make these guys? Do you follow a pattern or make your own up?

I do so love your toy photos and the commentary is just perfect - you should write a children's book and illustrate it with pictures of your toys. Sheppy is gorgeous!

Oh Sheppy is just too cute, just love the "sales pitch", Battersee Dog's Home could take a leaf out of your book. Tell me is he any realtion to the famous (infamous) Shep of John Noakes / Blue Peter fame?

Your creations are just the cutest ever! Thanks for posting the book up, I was waiting for Kitty to open up since last year.
Posted by: Amy | January 26, 2007 at 04:30 AM
Adorable puppy...I just received the same book this week and I highly recommend it--- I give it ***** as I'm finding that there is lots to look at and be inspired by....You are right though in saying that it is more for girls...luckily I am the mother of 4 girls!!
Posted by: Beata | January 26, 2007 at 09:45 AM
Oh by the way, I bought mine on Ebay so perhaps there still available there...
