John sent this photo from Japan!
Normally I don’t go crazy over animals in people clothes, unless they’re cats and they’re dressed as salary men.

Talking Shell Animation
This is just the cutest animation! I love the minimalism of it, and the writing is great too.

Tiny Strawberry has a Caption!
Thank you for your caption suggestions for the TIny Strawberry! They were so much fun to read, and it was difficult to pick a winner. (I had about six favorites.) The winning caption is…
Though he may look a little seedy, the only mischief this tiny berry’s getting into is a spoonful of strawberries Romanoff.
Melissa suggested that cute line, so she gets a free pattern from the Mochimochi Shop!
I thought the captions were a blast, so how about we do another one this week?

My boss recently gave me this adooorable bank that she got on a trip to Japan!
Guess the Next Tiny Collection
Update: tess b won the little contest by guessing the four patterns correctly! (Check out the comments to see what they are.)
The next Tiny Things collection will be coming to the Mochimochi Shop very soon! Before the big announcement, I thought it would be fun to do a little guessing game about which four Tiny Things will be included in the pattern collection. I’ve listed some hints below, and the first person to guess all four Tinys correctly in the comments will get the pattern collection for free when it’s available!
Some hints:
The first Tiny lives underground and kisses by rubbing noses together.
The second Tiny has been known to sometimes rain down from the sky when the weather is very strange.
The third Tiny has a history that dates back to Roman times, and it has a connection to Mardis Gras.
The fourth Tiny has had one famous resident, and it is also found on most computers.
What do you think they are? Try to guess all four in the comments!
All Bunnied Out
I don’t know about you, but I think I’m all bunnied out for a while after last week. Let’s see, what is the complete opposite of bunnies… robot dinosaurs, perhaps?
OK, so this is a really cute robot dinosaur. But good enough!
When I didn’t have bunnies on the brain last week, I set up a Facebook page for Mochimochi Land. So I hope you’ll become a fan if you’re a Facebooker. And I’ve been Tweeting on Twitter for ages now, so you can find me there too.
Ninjabun Feels Left Out
Let’s not forget this sneaky bunny during Bunny Week!
Thank you to everyone who sent in their great bunny photos, links, and stories this week—I think Bunny Week was a success, so we’ll have to do more themed weeks on the blog in the future. (Ideas are welcome of course!)
You have until the end of the day today (Saturday, April 3rd) to get the Dust Bunnies pattern for free with any $5 purchase from the Mochimochi Shop.
Have a wonderful Easter, everyone!
Let’s Make Rabbits
These bunnies are not doing anything naughty at all.
I was just in a bookstore with my sister-in-law this afternoon, and she came running to me with this book. We agreed that it had to be part of Bunny Week.
Let’s Make Rabbits is by Caldecott winner Leo Lionni, and it’s about drawing pictures of rabbits and making them out of paper, and not about anything biological. (But you could have fooled us, with that cover!)
