Clover Japan

2 people gossiping

Clover Japan revamped their website recently and it looks so much better!

I’m glad that their tezukuri recipes page is still available; 61 free patterns and counting!

Recently, there’s been a trend in making these yo-yos. Instead of buying the Clover “templates”, you can actually substitute with cardboard cut-outs. Check out Heather Bailey’s How to Make a Yo-Yo tutorial.

Splish splash baby whale

3 people gossiping

Last December, I entered an amigurumi contest held by Etsy. It was a pleasant surprise to come in 2nd and a wonderful Christmas gift for me! Subsequently, lovely Alícia, owner of Duduá, bought some of my whales for consignment. The product photos by Ramiro Elena turned out smashing and Flooshy, the splish splash baby whale, has been getting quite a bit of attention ever since!
