First up, a Merry Christmas to everyone! Do leave a comment if you’re reading this because I’m getting traffic but I rarely get comments or feedback. It’s been a so-so Christmas and I’m looking forward to 2008. My sister left for Washington yesterday morning to study there for six months and I miss her already! *waves at Michi* Before she left, I made her a rilakkuma felt mascot, poorly done because I didn’t have the right color threads and I’m not very good at hand stitching.

This book is a must-buy for all rilakkuma fans out there.

This book has amigurumi patterns with basic crochet instructions to get you started, felt mascot patterns as well as sewing patterns for stuffed toy, puppet, glove (finger) puppet, stationery, bath goods and many more! And it’s only 800yen!!
