back from Japan

I am back from Japan. First off I want to thank everyone for their support, financial, encouragement, and physical support! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This trip was a doosie, both good and tiresome. Nothing was as it was told, but that made it very much full of surprise, which is fun when you are not pooped.

I did have internet, but I never had the time to use it. We were busy from 5:30am till 11:30pm everyday and man did I sleep well when I came home!

We went to help with the tsunami relief. It was hard labor but fun. My half of the team mainly tore out damaged parts of the houses that were left and safe, leaving only the skeleton so that the families could rebuild them. the other team ended up "mudding out". The tsunami dragged in a couple feet deep of "mud" made up of sand, mud, household items, fish, sewage, anything and everything that the water picked up and dropped, inside of houses, outside of them and everywhere. And MAN did that stuff stink! I am glad that I was on sweeping duty, both vacuum and broom.

My team worked with Samaratin's Purse in Kesennuma, our base being a small ball field in Sumita. I think I spelled those right... ^_^ they are about 8 hrs away from Yokohama, to the north, and Yokohama is about 2 hrs away from Tokyo.

I will be posting my photos to my flicker account but here are some in the meantime!

Magic Circle


This is my diagram of the magic circle or magic loop used in amigurumi patterns. I thought I would share it with you!!!
This summer I have planned to put my crochet patterns into pdf format. This would mean new items in my store!
Things have been crazy with school and my computer and camera have been acting up.
been thinking of making a web comic. well, more than thinking. I am making the comic, just don't know if I am going to put it online.

Paper Yarn!!!



I have read about spinning paper, but I never had a reason to try. So tonight while brainstorming for my paper vessel project I decided to make some and see where that takes me! I thought it would be much harder than it was! It was really easy and the yarn is really strong!

Sooo... I can't find my camera... but marcia (http://marciafurman.blogspot.com/) told me I should also post awesome things I find, really cheap (cuz I'm I thrifty person who has no moola! ) soooooooo mine first post is on this aawesome Korean website! atseoul.com My favorite part is the awesomeness of the stamps and pencil cases!!! I bought so many gifts! Don't be suprised if you thought you ordered a different color because most of the descriptions is in images which does not translate, but everything is so awesome it doesn't matter much! The prices are great and the shipping is really reasonable. It is measured by weight so it only cost about 7 $ for a whole box of yayay goodies!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
now go get your awesome oriental happinesses!
