Tomokazu Matsuyama

I've recently discovered the work of Tomokazu Matsuyama. I wish I could live in this modern-edo era dream land! I encourage you to view his work full size and check out his website!

Vintage Coke Cans

Love the look of these vintage coke cans...

Found at The Dieline

Etsy-fied.

Did some work on my Etsy page today.. in addition to hanging out with the girls- eatin' burgers [veggie] and cookies! Missions are becoming accomplished.

I'm a nerd.

Yes, I'm that nerdy that I created a pink Ninjin icon for my blog! I hope you enjoy. Perhaps it will turn into a block of cheese later. I should practice drawing in 8-bit.

Speaking of which, the lil' bunny boy came over again today! I think he has finally adjusted to our apartment-- he's found some good hiding spots where he can run when I chase him around the room. I planning on making him a fun box house to hide in also. (Since we have a crap load!)

Here he is relaxing from last weekend! Oh it is my dream for my dog of the future and Ninjin to run around together... just like that sweet story of Tarra & Bella.

Kawaii lil' buta!

Okay, this lil' guy isn't Japanese, but nevertheless I love him and wish I could have him in my home. [Or at least take a little happy beautiful nap like him]

Now that my busy month is officially over (maybe)-- it's time to refocus on my crafting and setting up my new studio. I need some new direction in my life! And a website!

Rice Patty Designs in Japan

Cat Friends

As many of you already know, I am highly allergic to cats! But that does not mean I do not enjoy their company. A few weekends ago I was happy to discover we have a friendly neighborhood cat. She/He must belong to someone on our block. The cat found us around midnight after we had come back from getting late night ice cream. Super friendly and loves to be pet! The cat reminds me of when Miku, Becky's cat, would greet my parents and I when we returned home. Now.. to only get the cat to jump up to our windows and say hello!

[Btw, sorry for my delays on posting. We are now living in our new place and our internet has yet to switch over. I have lots to show!]
