Hi Christy, I must confess I have not been into the whole embroidery thing. But after seeing the front cover of your new magazine, my heart is softening!

New Japanese craft books - lucky thing!! can't wait to see what they inspire you to create.

You are so right...that is happiness!!

OH YES, Christy, you're so right ! Wait a minute, save a cup for me, and I'll bring the muffins ! :D xoxo Have a great middle of the week !!

What an interesting blog!

Hola you too!

I love your craft books, I wish we could buy them here.

Yes, that is right! But I have to add some quilting too!!!

I love that embroidery book - it inspired me to make my latest little baby blankie - I don't yet own the book I just spied it on Amazon.jp - perhaps I will be able to buy it when I go to Japan in 6 weeks! I can't wait to see what you make with those deliciously coloured embroidery threads and the great patterns!

Oh you lucky dear! I have my crush for that zakka craft books for a long time!!

I have this top book and love it. I refer to it often for stitching inspiration :)
