I am so in love with Japanese craft books. I don't know what it is, but the Japanese designers and publishing houses really know how a great craft book should look like. I love the designs, i love the layouts, the project photos, all of it!
The only down point is that most often the books are pretty expensive plus you need to add the shipping costs, so buying the Japanese books is normally not a regular thing for me, but a special treat.
Luckily i have found a big lot of the lovely books, so many i can't keep them all to myself. In comes my Etsy shop. I think i have set up some fair prizes with matching low shipping, so if you are like me and love Japanese craft books, check out the shop. There are books on felting, sewing, crocheting, knitting and more. Hope you love! ♥
Want to meet my Love?
Hop over to Heart Handmade where my hubby is part of the Other Half Series.
And since he is too modest to pitch himself in an interview about how it is to be married to me, i will do it for him; check out his music on myspace!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Valentine's day! In honor of V-Day i've got a free printable for you! Inspired by the Nani Bird i designed a while back, i now introduce to you: Make your own papercraft "I Love Milk - Kitty Carton"
! Click the link, print the pdf (card stock paper works best), cut and fold as to the instructions provided. Glue sides together and you're done! If there are any questions, just let me know! It's fun, fast and easy to do! It's not yet perfect (i could have made the fold lines less visible on the design), next time (yeah! there will be a next!) i will make adjustments! For now, enjoy!
PS I would love to see pictures if you made your milkcarton! Email them to me, or put them on your blog ok?
I also love them! They are the only things I splurge on now, and collect... pricey though!
