I'm Back!
It's been a tough couple of days without my computer! A pox on hackers trying to steal financial information is all I can say. DON'T FALL FOR IT PEEPS!
I haven't been doing much of anything around here, cleanup, errand running, that sort of thing, nothing blog-worthy. I did some laundry and went to take a photo of the dryer full of fluffy towels and that's when I knew I was losing it. If you wanted to see laundry you could look in your own dryers, right? (although my pretty blue polka dot towels looked mighty fine in there)
Anyhooo... I've picked up some very cute Japanese craft books lately. I don't know about you, but I love their fabrics combinations and their photography. I'll share more when the sun is out, but in the meantime.. I thought I'd share a cute little Petit Boutique number I picked up recently.
You know how I love the cherries and those little small series of books. It sadly borders on obsession! And look how cute these little appliques from Daiso are, they just seem to go with the little book, don't they?
If you think they're cute and would like a chance to win these goodies, leave a comment and I'll let Binnie pick a name this weekend! Hows that for a sweet treat?

More great projects!!! Thanks for reminding me to go check my dryer.

Very, very cute! But more than a prize, I want to see those pretty polkie towels in your dryer -- purdy pleeeease!!!
They are adorable and to have Binnie pick a winner, what an honor! I am sorry about your computer. My laptop has been plagued with viruses trying to get at my stuff. I am glad the family computer is a Mac and I can use that in the meantime. Hope all stays well with your computer.

Hi Pam - Count me in... You KNOW how I feel about cherries! :)
You are very sweet yourself for doing that. I'm so glad you are on my favorite blogs so now I just go down the list of my favorites and stop in for a visit. I love blogging. Craft blogging, that is. Thanks again.
Count me in! So, tell me, where do you find those adorable books?
S.W.A.K.

Absolutely gorgeous little book!! Isn't it great how pictures can say so much (coz I sure as heck can't read the words LOL!). So glad you have your computer back and we can enjoy your blog!
Kind regards - Dawn
Just call me Horshack. Miss PKM MISS PKM! Pick me Pick me. Hurry, My arm is starting to hurt from waving around! ;-)
So cute, I'm obsessed too. And don't you just wish you could crawl into a warm dryer of towels sometimes?
Oh goodness, if I had access to Japanese craft locally we would be in the poor house. Maybe I will be a winner! LOL
Soooooo cute. Love it. Hope I win!
Pam, I just love any of the Japanese books - they do have a way of making everything look so pleasing to the eye! Now if I had my own personal translator....hmmmm! Too pad about your computer - I know mine has been doing weird things these days, but I figured it was just our goofy weather!
Cheers!
Precious and adorable...how can you part with it? Count me in?
EVERYTHING you do is blog-worthy! And oh so deliciously entertaining. I was actually very disappointed you didn't show a shot of your towels in the dryer.
I'll be happy for you when your computer is tip top again. But I will miss how your emails looked coming from Bret's computer.
OOHHH!! Very cute!! and believe me, there are days around here when I would be GLAD to see your clean laundry! Love ya, Libby from Georgia
Hey....I just saw a picture of polka dot towels in the pottery barn catalogue. They were darn cute too!!! Very sorry about the computer prob hope all is okay now. Kathie k.bugbee@att.net
Glad your computer is now safe and sound again. Your laundry sounds cuter than mine. Just plain towels here. Love the book and the appliques. That is a generous giveaway.
Binnie, pick me, pick me.
So cute! Sounds like you are up to the same things I am. Trying to catch up after the holidays. Put my name in the pile. I would love to win!
I think you just like those piggies because of their big heads!
Big headed piggies, pox ladened hackers, dotty towels...boy you have it all, don't you??
No fun w/computer problems, glad they are resolved.
Love the giveaway. I have developed quite a love of Japanese fabrics in the last year or so. It all started with your blog, and that is a good thing. It was the first one I ever read. I am hooked. I read a magazine article on quilt blogs (I think it was Quilter's Newsletter). I read ever post. Thank you, you provide a lot of smiles.
This little piggy went to Auntie Pami's ....I want to see the towels. Mine are so boring (Costco specials)! That should be the next fun project how to dress those bad boys up. I love cherries too. Just look in my pantry (dried cherries, canned cherries, dark chocolate covered cherries, oops, wait a minute my dh got them!, cherries for ice cream. ok that's enough...Thank you Pam and please tell Binnie to pick me. It's a Pam thing!
I seriously think I need a Daiso run! I am in need of some sort of lavender container for a luncheon in June and they might have something I could use. Any quilt stores near the one in Milpitas? Or was it Union City?
Oh how I wish we had a Daiso near by......I am thinking about driving 9 hours to seattle just to go to one! LOL!!
Please count me in....Love your blog :)

I took a picture of the bathroom at Christmas because I thought the red towels looked so good with the red berries on the wreath I had hung above the toilet. And YOU thought you were losing it!
Love the giveaway items! Very cute.
I'm participating in a Pay it Forward giveaway. If you want to take part in the fun, come on over!
I think I'd like the dryer photo..how sad is that! I love Japanese fabric and have started a stash...well maybe I'll use it for my new grand daughter's clothes, how cute is that.
OMG sooo cute!! Please throw me in the hat!!!
Put my name in that hat! I have been in a Japanese frenzy lately...I ordered a couple of books from Superbuzzy. They are so cute!
Boo to the hackers!! A double pox on them!
Now hand over the book and no one gets hurt!
You always have so much fun! Cute goodies! Count me in for the draw! Wishing the rain would stop!
You bet I think these are cute! I am a certified cherry freak. Oh, and that cute booklet..definitely "too sweet" for words. If I don't win I believe I must buy it now. :) Thanks for sharing your obsession. :)
Love the cherries. Since the kids gave us a new red Kitchenaid for Christmas I am "seeing red" everywhere!
Well, and here I thought I cornered the market on a glamorous lifestyle .... I think right now seeing your towels in your dryer might be the highlight of my week!
....and CUTE isn't a cute enough word for those cute goodies !! (did I use the word "cute" enough?)
I have been wanting to explor those Japanese magazines... I just wasn't sure I could figure them out! Very cute little things though. Polka Dot towels!!! Could you have a drawing for those too?
Hey Pam, Sorry about your computer troubles, mine also had some ills recently despite forewall and the like. I too am much addicted to ANYTHING with cherries!!!!! Oh well, love your blog and I haven't run into you lately around town, what's up with that!!!! Happy Everything, Nurse Payne
DUDE, MUST HAVE THOSE PIGGIES!! But those rotten hackers?!?! Argh, I've had every CC# stolen. Yeah, um, I've been shopping at "secure" sites. That is until they are not secure. Oopsie. Grrrr.
Hope I'm not too late. Sorry about your computer. My husb recently had his pc stolen and all kinds of trouble went on from there. The books are lovely and they are most definately a weakness of mine. Happy New Year.
Love the goodies! Count me in too!
Been a lurker reading your blog for at least a year. I love your blog. Always good stuff!
Hi!!! A cherrie lovin' "lurker" comin' out to say HEY! :o)
Sometimes I open my dryer door and see pretty combos of fabric... poetry can appear in the most unlikely of places!
Great blog! And what a nice give-away!
Lala :o)
Oh how cute! I love cherries too!!!!! Please enter me.

I just stopped by to say hi and boy are those cute little bags! I can commiserate on the computer too. The family pc was hijacked and is out for repairs thanks to the sophisticated surfing my 14 yo darling son does....gotta love 'em.
Have a great day!
I think Daiso designs just for you and Monica and me. Except they only do it to tease me since there isn't one here.
I'm sorry to hear your computer was hacked because that is the pits. We went through that not long ago.
Max has come up with the worst possible punishments for people who write viruses for computers and who try to take people's money through them.
You know...there seems to be a lot of people's computers getting sick here lately. Mine was, too. It's kinda weird.
I love the Japanese craft books, too. They are great for inspiration.
I hope you're computer is well now.
WOOOHOOO love me a giveaway!!! Thanks PKM!!
Love the cherries, love the piggies ... love to win!
