Is it a little late in the season for planting seeds?

This one has already started growing feet!

You know what would be fun? Making dishes with cute patterns on them.

(Not as easy to execute as a knitting project, unfortunately, but at least I can sketch it.)

Maybe it’s the warm weather finally come to NY, but my focus is just all over the place! There are suddenly tons of different projects that I want to start all at the same time.

We Have a Chart!

Look what I finally finished up this weekend: the Stackable Cats cross-stitch chart! It had been nearly done for a long time, and I just had to finish it up and format it into a printable form.

Now it’s just a matter of getting the pdf up on the website as a free download, then I hope some of you will give my first cross-stitch pattern a try!

Only one more class to go in my Illustrator course, and I’m afraid I haven’t been practicing as much as I should be. But I’m still very excited about the application and all the crazy cool stuff you can do with it. Especially 3D effects!

This is a kind of preview of the next pattern I’ll be releasing in the Mochimochi Shop. Finally, a stacking pet for dog lovers! I think the illustration more or less looks like the knitted version, except less knitted and soft. (And grass is not included.)

For some reason, I’m suddenly feeling an urge to make stacking animals out of blocks of cheese. This sounds like a lot of fun to me at 1:20 in the morning. If only I knew an animal lover who was hosting a whimsical wine-tasting party.
