more japanese books

Okay, I’m in love with these japanese books, I can’t read it but they make it so even I can understand the patterns and how to make it.  I have just ordered a book to make dog clothes.  I could not resist it. 

How could you resist this little guy?

To see what’s inside this book: http://cgi.ebay.com/HANDMADE-DOG-WEAR-Dog-Clothes-Pattern-Book_W0QQitemZ170040284193QQihZ007QQcategoryZ83905QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

I think I’ll make them for Christmas for my friends who have little dogs.  I’ll post them when I make them.

Japanese Bead Books

  

These are the new books that I got from the ebay store.  I just looked at it last night and put

sticky tabs on all the ones I want to make.  I already made a small strawberry that I’ll put on the

web site when I photograph it.  The web site has all kinds of books, even pattern books for clothes

like this one:

 

This will be perfect for Hawaii’s weather. 

I’ll make some for my daughter and her friends at college. 

I think the next one I want to get is the one with patterns for dog clothes.

Here is the site if you want to get some books.

Pankun and James

Here is my favorite thing now.  I recently went to a friends house that is from Japan.  Their children was watching an episode of Pankun and James.  Seems Pankun is a chimp and he leads James, who is a bulldog, around with a leash.  They have all kinds of adventures.  It usually starts with their owner giving them a task to do.  I loved it although I didn’t understand Japanese I thought it was adorable.  Check our their web site!

new cell phone woo hoo

I listed this under entertainment cause that is what it is!  I’ve been playing with my new cell phone for 2 days now.  It’s a Nokia 6103 and it’s so amazing.  I had to ask my daughter for help.  She showed me how to add ringtones.  Download them from the internet.  Take pictures and put them on my phone.  I think I love this thing.  It also has an fm radio that i can listen to.  Well, here’s to technology!
