To Oklahoma!

Unlike my other trips, this time lots of toys are coming with me! Including this work in progress, who will be making a Mochimochi Land debut sometime this spring.

Update: I made it to Tulsa, but unfortunately my little WIP guy did not, along with the rest of my checked baggage. Let’s hear it for carry-ons.

Another Update: My bag is here, only 34 hours late! Let’s hear it for wearing your own underwear again.

Jean on Jean
