  • Progress on the Itoshiki Nozomu cosplay. Just have to finish off the back of the hakama and tidy up some loose threads. Then onto the prop making!

  • Apparently only marking one side of the fabric is useless, so I had to laboriously measure the other back panel fastidiously making sure all the marks matched up! I now understand why the instructions kept talking about ceasing both pieces using a Japanese spatula thing… Of course, there is the other problem about finishing edges.…

  • Beavering away on my sashiko table runner. Almost finished the first panel now!

  • Started working on the yukata for my Nozomu Itoshiki cosplay. These are the sleeves.

  • A while back I ordered an advertised 15” laptop sleeve from Society6. Unfortunately, when it arrived it was far too small to fit my 15” laptop, which was odd… The company told me that their 15” sleeves are actually only 14” (what the?!) and they gave me a refund but said to keep the product…

  • Completed crochet whale. Attaching all the pieces together was far more fiddly that I anticipated, but I was worth it. A cuddly smooth top with a textured ribbed underbelly makes for tactile heaven!

  • Some good photos of the completed Pikachu partial fursuit I took to Supanova. Photos credit to my friend The Pixel Pixie (go check her out, she’s great!) Link: https://www.facebook.com/thepixelpixieco/?fref=ts)

  • Finally finished the Dimensions pattern “Max the Cat” – time taken approximately 4 weeks spread over a 7 month period. Interesting how the natural sunlight on my back porch tinted all the whiter areas blue!
