Perler Beads and Cross Stitch… shall I muddy the waters?

Emjay — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:22:43 +0000

I’ve been on a cross stitch and perler bead kick… and now that I’ll be doing a workshop for each at Tsukino-Con 2011, in addition to my crochet panel, it’s unavoidable that these crafts eat up more of my crafting time and attention. The thing is… this is “Neridugurumi”, not “Nerdiguperlerbeads” or “Nerdigucrossstitch”… so what [...]

Anime Evolution 2010 Amigurumi Panel Follow Up

Emjay — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 07:48:07 +0000

Last weekend was the big Vancouver anime convention, Anime Evolution. It was awesome, great cosplays, lots of neat events and the dealer’s hall was cool. I think as with Tsukino, I most enjoyed the artists and crafter’s alley. The panel went really badly but really wonderfully at the same time. No projector, speakers or screen [...] Related posts:

Amigurumi Workshop at Anime Evolution (Vancouver) 13- 15 August 2010

Overlooking that they severely dissected my “interview”, and that they referred to crochet as knitting (why does that always happen?) I am really happy with the feature. Bigger photos and say… center stage may have been slightly more awesome, but I’ll take what I can get Overall it looks good, I’m happy and feel slightly [...] Related posts:

Amigurumi Workshop at Anime Evolution (Vancouver) 13- 15 August 2010

It’s official, my Amigurumi workshop has been approved for the Anime Evolution 2010, the anime convention in Vancouver BC. It will be similar to the Tsukino Con workshop I did but with a different (ie: easier) project piece as the main focus. I haven’t gotten the timings or dates down yet, but will post as [...] Related posts:

Mother’s Day and Needle Felting!

Emjay — Mon, 10 May 2010 19:44:42 +0000

Yesterday treated me to a lovely meal and some fabulous (and rare) yarn stash additions. It was nice too because my mom rules and debuted her second ever needle felting creation, a Noby Noby Boy of her very own. Isn’t he cute? No new patterns or anything up from me yet, because I was too [...] Related posts:

Daiso makes me happy!

Emjay — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:38:30 +0000

I was fortunate enough to pop into Daiso on Sunday while on a quick trip to Vancouver. For those who don’t know, Daiso is a big Japanese dollar store type place where everything is $2 that carries housewares, stationary, paper products and a crafts section. Oh yes… that’s right… a crafts section. They’ve got yarn, [...]

Playstation 3 Controller Cozy

Emjay — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:50:43 +0000

I started working on this prototype pattern in hopes of finding a way to make the PS3 controller a bit more comfortable to clutch for hours on end. It’s a good start, though I did mess up the mirroring of the bootie part so that is why it’s taller on one side than the other. [...]

More stuff is coming, I promise!

Emjay — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:03:00 +0000

It’s been a while since the last update but I have a few projects on the go so please be patient. I’ve got my favorite character from Azumanga Daioh (98% done, just need to embroider the mouth), the Katamari pattern (60% done, must add more nubbies!) and also, in honor of the soon to be [...]

Tsukino-Con gets Amigurumified!

Emjay — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:19:00 +0000

I live in Victoria BC, a moderately sized Canadian city that is uber-westcoasty and is blessed with a University that is blessed with an Anime club that has blessed our community with an annual anime, manga and Japanese cultural convention, previously called Kei-kon, now reborn as Tsukino-Con. This has been great for the kid, and [...]
