Next in the series of designs that Miranda has requested is the rose capelet. (See also the Bunny Express Vest). This is another design that she saw in a Happy Happy Clover manga.
Here is the design drawing I found on my table. It was followed by several others, but this one I think captured [...]
Miranda frequently leaves little drawings around of designs she’d like me to make. I can tell its time to do something about it when she keeps showing me alternate views of the design. I can get a hint.
Here is a recent item I made for her that was inspired by her favorite manga Happy [...]
One of my kids asked me to draw them a coloring page of two dragons fighting. Here’s the result. I’ll try to post some more coloring pages, as this is a regular thing for them.
In 2008 they were Princess Mononoke, a cat, and a spider.

I first [...]
Just recently, in a fit of insanity, I bought a pattern book of felt mascots fromsewcrafty32 on eBay. The book shipped from Hong Kong is not in English. However, there are lots of illustrations and most of the mascots are simple enough that you can figure it out from looking at the photo.
Here are [...]
I ran across Stefan G Bucher’s Daily Monster videos on YouTube via a post on BoingBoing. The girls and I were facinated by this and watched about a dozen of the videos. Clearly we were going to have to try this.
So the next day we got a bottle of ink and made some inkblots. See [...]
