My Book Cover!

Posted on March 3, 2010 by Anna

I’m so excited to reveal the cover of my forthcoming book!

You may have noticed it there on the right sidebar of my blog – if you click on that link, you can pre-order it and get it when it’s released in late June. (It’s also great if you want to wait until the summer and buy it from your favorite LYS.)

There are more projects than shown on the inside, and there are also lots of beautiful on-location photos taken by the amazing Brandi Simons inside. (I can’t share those right now, but I’ll definitely give an inside peek when I can!)

If you’re wondering, the big-mouthed guy featured on the cover is a wearable slipper called a Feet Eater! In addition to animals and inanimate objects, the book contains patterns for a number of extremely silly wearable toys. I’ll be sharing more details about the book, including some photos from Brandi’s shoots, in the coming months, so stay tuned!

Fry Takes a Walk

John was helping me with stop motion animation software yesterday, and when I wasn’t looking, he made this cute video of his toy Fry going for a walk!

The toy comes from the Kidrobot Futurama series.

Tiny Things at Saffron

Posted on March 1, 2010 by Anna

After visiting Brooklyn Flea on Saturday I stopped by Saffron down the street, and I was delighted to see this wonderful display of my Tiny Things that they have for sale.

It’s been lots of fun to finally have designed projects that are quick enough to justify selling a few. And they’ve been selling!

If you’re ever in Brooklyn, please stop by this shop! They have fresh flowers, vintage clothing, jewelry, and a few other little things handmade by locals. (I also blogged about Saffron when my friend Kana opened it last year.)
