I really love kawaii images of smiling cups,food with faces,clouds and sky things, woodland creatures, leaves and trees and clover and mushrooms, cute bears on clotheslines and other laundry-related images, knitting & sewing related images,little girls- especially in big hats or bonnets or kercheifs,Unazukin/Russian dolls/matroyshkas,baby animals,baby animal illustrations with food photos,bakers of all kinds,food with pandas, and really whimsical or slightly weird things like cubic animals,singing cubees,tarepanda,usacolle,craftbabies,bathtub head.
I also collect and knit/sew for Takara Blythe, Ddung, vintage 11.5" Dollikin/Action Girl, Susie Sad Eyes,Osyalle,vintage vinyl/rubber Hawaiian cute kids,and other dolls.
I like to knit, especially with Noro,Dragon Tale,Harrisville,Brown Sheep,Dale of Norway,Jamieson and Smith,many self-patterning sock yarns,and Knit Picks yarns.
I like to sew unique and useful things like bags, table and kitchen linens, aprons. My favorite fabric designers,companies,types are Kaffee Fassett,Michael Miller,Aunt Grace and other 30s repros,Moda,Windham,Japanese imports including Lecien,Cosmo,Kokka,Diabo,Hobbyra, plus vintage cotton prints including calico,feedsacks,Holly Hobbie,Petticoats and Pantaloons. I also love polka dots, gingham, ticking, natural linen, cotton lace.
I am very inspired by Japanese craft books,by vintage goods,by folk costume,by other crafters, by nature.
I enjoy mostly natural and organic foods, but do indulge in Japanese candy and high quality dark chocolate. I like coffee, not the flavored ones, real whole bean fair-trade organic is best, and teas, bags are good but loose is better.
