Rilakkuma!

I tried to crochet a Rilakkuma (Lazy Bear), a super adorable San-X character. The only real pattern for him was in this adorable, but pricey Japanese craft book, so I had to improvise. It's not exactly the same, but I came pretty close. My son fell in love with him, so I'm happy with it. :)

The Infected

After watching 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, I couldn't stop dreaming about zombies. I know technically The Infected are not zombies, but close enough. I decided to crochet a cute little zombie to rid me of my fear. I also made him a zombie girl plushie companion. Both of these were given away in a swap.

My panda & video game swap package

I received the cutest, yummiest items this week!
Here's what I got from the anime/manga swap:
this ADORABLE Maromi pillow from one of my favorite animes, Paranoia Agent



the first issue of Love Hina, Lil' Slugger's hat (also from Paranoia Agent), and Hello Kitty and Mimmy bracelets.
She also sent me some Pocky, but we ate it all before I took pictues.

Here is what I got from the Panda swap:
I nearly screamed when I saw the super cute Gothic Lolita headband with panda ears!
(sorry about the blurry picture)

She also made a handpainted t-shirt she saw on my Wists. (see my scrolling wist items to your left.)

A gameboy sp case for my daughter:

a plushie for my son, and some Pucca post-its.

I Love it all!!! Thanks to my swap partners!
