Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a smooth week so far. The weather is incredible today. Perfectly sunny. The hallways in our building is cooler than outside.
Anyways, I spent the afternoon walking around Jo-anns (a craftstore). They have an incredible selection of fabrics and scrapbook items. I love browsing their fabrics and scrapbook material. I've recently been fascinated with Washi tape, so I ended up buying some Martha Stewart ones. Can't wait to use them soon. I'm also really curious about making my own Washi tape. Has anyone tried this yet? :P
Over the weekend, Mr C and I headed down to the International District in Seattle and we went to one of my favorite stores. It's a Japanese bookstore called Kinokuriya Not only does it sell books, but it sells Japanese stationary and cute stuffed animals. I spent my time looking at all their craft books. Honestly I wanted to buy every book because each and everyone is so well put together. Their pictures are amazing. I don't know any Japanese, but the diagrams are so nicely done that you don't need the text.
I ended up purchasing a book which I think is pretty amazing. It's called "ステップ式！羊毛フェルトの基礎ＢＯＯＫ" ISBN : 9784529049719 (http://www.kinokuniya.com/us/index.php/fbs003?common_param=9784529049719). I haven't made any projects yet, but so far I think it's a great book for beginners and people with some experience. The majority of the book is filled with colored diagrams, which I love! It also teaches you how to make basic shapes (squares, hearts, stars) which took me awhile to figure out. I can't wait to make something!!! In the meantime please take a look at all the interesting projects in the book. They are incredibly cute!!!!! :3
Have any of you read any interesting books lately? I'd love to hear from you!
Take care, and have a great week!
Janet
