(Right) Ideas for toddlers/boy's line of clothing, "Wooji Wear". Kenny's middle name is Woojin.
We used to call him Wooji when he was an infant.

(Left) Sketch for fictitious trendy store and other "anime-type" of clothing- "Robo-Boy".

Watercolor painting cards. I did most of these projects posted here over a year ago. So it's not like, "wow, you constantly craft" kind of thing. Wanted to post these images up for a while now. Monday, I'm taking a painting class, we'll see how that comes out.

Digital camera and cell phone cozies.

Sketches that I've been working on for my collage series.
On the left is my aunt Mary. She died at age 12-13 while she was in Japan during the 1930's. She was my dad's older sister and to this very day, he still haven't gotten over her death.


On the right is some calililies that were growing in my backyard.
All sketches were done in pencil and charcoal.

Madeleine's newborn cap. She's about 4 days old when this pic. was taken.
ahhh....

Cotton knit Shrug. I bought this pattern off of someone from the UK. Unfortunately, I don't have the figure to wear this thing.
That's why it's on a dummy.

Mini hand bags. No pattern, I just created this by sight. I was using the felting technique... which means you knit 100% wool yarn and wash it in hot setting in the washing machine with a pair of jeans. Came out pretty cool. Learned this technique from my friend Kellie S.

Crochet flower pins and a capelet (like a mini poncho). Capelet is from the Rowan's Number 38 publication "Charlotte" but I got really cheap with the yarn and used "Lion's Brand- Wool Ease, Thick and Quick". Came out really cute and knits up very fast. The pattern worked for this yarn, unfortunately, after a few hours wearing this, you'll end up sweating! Looks best with string strap dresses and camisole/blue jeans combination.


Weird, all of a sudden I am totally paying attention to women's fashion. I don't know why, all I wear these days are ratty sweats and old t shirts. I am a complete slob. Ask my friends and neighbors.

"Light and Lacy" shawl- pattern from the "knit knack kit" by Kris Percival. This has taken me on and off for two years!
Yarn is Rowan kidsilk haze and it is not very good for fast knitting and takes a while before you see any progress.
But once I'm done, I think I'll wear it to our friends wedding.

Knitted cap, which by the way, is totally lost and gone. And a sweater for my son, Kenny. Unfortunately, after having spent all that time and calling in extra yarn to be shipped from Lake Tahoe. I really don't like how it looks. I should of made the sweater in a simple blue.

Crochet scarf and flower pin I did last winter.

Hello. Since I'm new to this blog world, you'll most likely see me post tons of photos of my on-going craft projects.
The photo next is one of my first knitted project, it's a baby booty set. So cute and took me only a few days to knit up.


Oh yeah, a bit about me... I am totally addicted to crafting like knitting, crochet, greeting cards, and just picked up sewing. I'm not a hard core knitter like the ones that you see posted, I only dabble in the simple stuff, so I'm what you call a "easy-beginner" knitter.
And it's not a good idea that I live so close to a "Michael's Arts and Craft" store. Yikes. I think this blogging thing will be great for me, now I can share all of my stuff to the world. Maybe I should of join one of those crafty blogs. (hmmm?) But I will also be posting other interests as well. I'm also into painting and mixed media, and since I just broke my website... maybe I will start posting my latest works here...


Also posted is my very latest project... a Japanese "Happi" coat for my son. Background on the happi coat here-http://www.garden-gifts.com/happi.htm . Fabric was purchased in Santa Cruz - http://www.hartsfabric.com/
It's a cool store, they specialize in Hawaiian and Asian fabrics. I'll be going back for sure.
