jamie brought cole back this hilarious hello kitty phone from his recent business trip to japan, and we all just love it. all the conversation is in japanese, so various buttons will blare out adorable phrases like "moshi moshi" and whatnot. i'm not sure if cole realizes it's supposed to be a phone, despite knowing a real phone and thinking every type of remote control is also a phone, but he likes it anyway.

coco and his kitty phone
again, still just going through our stash of recent photos that i had forgotten about. much cuteness - many photos! at least you have to choose to come here to see them, rather than the olden days method of foisting your kid's baby photos on strangers: "hey, check out these million baby photos i just happen to have in my wallet!".

Hip, hop, hippity hop
Finally - have found time to make something new! It's been a long time, what with the Christmas holidays and whatnot... I thought I'd get lots done while Jamie was home for two weeks on vacation between Christmas and New Year's, but of course I just spent whatever leisure time we carved out watching really terrible old mystery shows and making hot chocolate...
Found a great book - Aranzi Cute Stuff - by two crafty Japanese sisters. The book itself is fantastic - really quirky and full of translated glory. And it has a ton of terrific projects. Good basics, too, even if you don't want to applique everything with characters. I have at least half the pages dog-eared with projects for Cole (and myself too)... They have a Baby Stuff book coming out next month that I'm preordering now - can't wait!
First up though: this cute bunny for Cole.
It's from the "long doll bag" pattern, and is supposed to be a little purse with a zipper in the back that you can carry on your wrist, but I modified it a little and just stuffed the torso. I'm going to try making it a friend in a different fabric. Cole was instantly a big fan - grabbed it off the doorknob where it was hanging before I even had a chance to photograph it.
He chose the vintage fabric from my scrap stash himself! The eyes and mouth were supposed to be appliqued felt, but I figured he would just chew them off so instead I used non-toxic fabric paint.
He is a big fan of bunnies in general lately. He loves turning the pages of I am a Bunny and pointing out Nicholas, the little bunny who lives in a hollow tree. He also gets a big kick out of Mrs. Bunny, a weirdo hand puppet that we found at Yoko Yaya at Christmas time. He smiles from ear to ear when she pops out to give him a little talk. She seems to have a good opinion on most matters (as voiced by yours truly). Her bunnies always eat their veggies and take their naps.
