Balloon Bye-Bye Video

Something inspired me the other day to try using iMovie for the first time. With iMovie, I can make my animated GIFs into embed-able videos!

And they can also have music! That amazing soundtrack is the result of playing around with GarageBand for the first time. Learning new things is fun!

Super-Scary Mochimochi is Here!

It’s chaos here today in Mochimochi Land, as Super-Scary Mochimochi has just been released and the tiny zombies are going wild!

No gnome is safe!

You can get your copy of Super-Scary Mochimochi, which is packed with 20+ patterns for the strangest and silliest knitted toys you’ve ever seen, from Amazon, from Barnes & Noble, and in bookstores and local yarn stores across the US. Signed copies are also now available in the Mochimochi Shop (with international shipping).

I can’t wait to see the monster mochi invasion!

Save the Clowns

I hate to start off the week with a difficult topic, but it’s come to my attention that there is some anti-clown prejudice in Mochimochi Land. Just look at how desperately clumsy this clown has become because no one would laugh at him.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

I think the only way we can begin to heal the hurt is through education and dialog, but the clowns think they can win everyone over by performing tricks.

Let’s make this a safe space for clown hijinks.

Sumo v Trash Can

In our third match, Tiny Sumo Wrestler is up against his toughest opponent yet! You can bet that lots of trash talk led up to this fight, and I have a feeling neither of them will come out of it smelling like roses.

And finally, Tiny Sumo Wrestler is bested! Is this the end of an era, or just a fluke? Stay tuned and find out!

Sumo v Bowling Ball and Pin

You asked for it—it’s another match with Tiny Sumo Wrestler against one of Mochimochi Land’s toughest tag team, Tiny Bowling Ball and Pin!

Team gutter really never stood a chance…

Will Tiny Sumo Wrester remain undefeated? Tune in next time and see!

Sumo v Sushi

The long-awaited fight of the summer is here! Live on tape from Mochimochi Land, it’s SUMO V SUSHI!

Not pictured is the victor devouring his foe backstage, along with the rest of the Tiny Sushi Bar Set. Oh the humanity!

Linda was the first person to match up these competitors when Tiny Sumo Wrestler made his debut, so she wins an adorable Little Twin Stars Re-ment set. Thank you to everyone who made suggestions!

Now the question is: will the world’s smallest heavyweight continue to pick fights with other tiny mochis, or has his appetite for roughhousing been sated?
