When I was in Paris last summer (I know…I still never blogged about it….oops) we were only in a department store for 20 minutes, but it was long enough for me to fall in love with Manoush, which I think I mentioned before.

Some random clicks just now led me to the Japanese website Luke and Stella where I bumped into sweet Manoush again.

When I’m a kabillionaire, can I wear this label and this label only?

Okay, I am officially freaking out about having anything at my booth for Bazaar Bizarre.

Also the washing machine broke again, which isn’t the most optimum sitch for my felting needs, but hopefully the guy will be able to fix it soon and for cheaps!

I made a scarf:

I tried blue eyes this time after a discussion with Hairy. I think he looks much more alive and crazy now than with black eyes.

I also made a bunch of wristwarmers:

They are supposed to remind you of colorful candy cane sticks! So far I’ve only been using yarn from my stash, but I think I will go to Imagiknit to pick a bigger variety of colors/flavors.

Tonight I am all about making brooches!

In progress!

I need to make 10 cupcake brooches for Manda’s children’s theater due the day before Baz Biz, so I’m just gonna do all her brooches and all my brooches right now. I also plan to have cookie, gingerbread men, and lollipop brooches for the fair.

So yeah, I decided not to go to Handmade Ho Down :(. I just don’t have a lot of time to spare until the fair on the 12th. I might have to fly down to LA for business next week, too. Eep! Back to work!

Muah!

Okay, I had no idea there was a Bay Area street team thingie for Etsy, not that I am super involved in the Etsy community or anything…. but Shrinkle informed me of this night-time craft fair event thingie they put together which is taking place on Thursday, Dec 3rd, from 6pm-midnight, at 1015 Folsom. I’m really curious!! We’re going!

At least, I hope we are going. Hairy invited a buddy over for dinner, so we’ll see how late that goes!

Hairy and I left the battery charger to our digital camera in L.A., so Hairy just ordered a new one off eBay, and I was finally able to get the few snaps of the Hello Kitty Fashion event off the thing!!

We’re waiting for the show to start!

Me and the Ladies of BubblePunch!

Me and our cute modelVictoria Rawlins. My head is so much bigger than hers.

Me and Marissa/PizzicatoKei, my collab partner, pal, and crochet elf!

I’m hoping that one day, Sanrio will post its profesh video of the fashion show. In the meantime, here are a few snippets. I think Hairy wanted to film the WHOLE show and I was like… that’s cray cray!!! So he just got tidbits of ChubbyBunny‘s outfit, ours, and the Shrinkle Hello Kitty mascot outfit at the end!
