About Me

I'm a born and bred Hawaii gal living in a teeny house crammed full of stuff.

I share the teeny house, and my life with Mr. T, my son Buddy, Mochi the cat and Yuki the dog.

When I'm not at my full time day job or hanging out with the family, I can usually be found in my craft room hunched over making stuff.

I design and create most of the things featured on my blog and find inspiration from vintage books, toys and life with my young son.

Where you can find my work:

At my shop.

Books:

I have two plush patterns (a donkey and a kangaroo).
in the Penguin Australia book "Softies" and the American version "Softies Only a Mother Could Love", a little pup pattern in the Softies sequel "More Softies" and an elephant pouch pattern in the Crafters Companion book available here:
