It’s got a zipper and everything! He’s SO excited to take stuff along on his travels with this! It’s the perfect size, so useful and colorful and cheerful!
Poor Katsuyuki hasn’t been updating his blog much at all this year, mostly because his photographer has been super stressed and overwhelmed but also because she has hardly gotten out of the house… but now he can take snazzy cooking photos right at home and look the part!
Thank you SO much, @grenouille78; everything is so creative and fun and fits perfectly!!
Oh, and here we are making our exchange (we live pretty close by each other so she swung by to swap):
And here’s my end of the swap! I had asked @roler to make something fun for my boys’ beloved stuffies, Monkey (a monkey!) and Bibbit the frog. I apologize that my pictures aren’t the greatest; the boys were chomping at the bit to get their animals and new accessories back!
For Monkey, she crocheted this jaunty little tam! Monkey is adorable in it! And, she chose a good color combination that shows up well (ds #1 is colorblind).
Bibbit is harder to make clothing for, so she made him a soft and squishy sleeping bag and pillow set! Ds #2 has been carrying him around in it ever since I got home.
(In fact if there is something you’d like me to make in exchange for one of my favorite animals in a similar style, I’d be thrilled to do a personal swap! XD
Best part? It’s not just a goldfish: it’s a Goldeen!! I see she has picked up on my not-too-hidden Pokémon obsession!! The colors, little horn, and eye expression have all captured Goldeen perfectly! Plus it’s just beautiful all in its own right, and the sparkle of the blue water bits is brilliant!
Hee hee, generally Pokémon are “it” unless a specific individual one has been identified as a particular gender. I’ll see if I can repair it without breaking it further, but if it wants to just sit on top of its sparkly watery hoard, that’s ok with me too
I received some happy mail from @PrincessP last night!
She sent me one of her Lettuce Craft patches and snuck in a few others she designed. I love the Magic Weaver patch that uses some the same colors as the towel I sent her! And the My First Pandemic! And the Crafts Past Bedtime . It’s like she captured my 2020 in patch form! I’m in awe of how professionally done they are!
