Happy Friday + Upcoming Events

Happy Friday! I shared the beginning of my sea life doodles on Instagram a few days ago, and this is how I ended up filling up the sheet. Every so often, I pause and revel in the fact that this is my job – watercoloring is so fun!! These illos will get incorporated somehow into the next book, the final art of which is due in a month. I’m making slow but steady progress…

So this means that I might be absent from here for long stretches again, especially since I’ll be going on book tour for Chibi Samurai Wants a Pet (!!) and taking part in a number of Pacific Northwest events:

Seattle Japanese Garden // October 7th // 1pm
Green Bean Books // October 19th //4:30pm
Powell’s Books // October 21st // 11am

A few other events are in development so it seems like it’ll be an action-packed month for this introvert. Okay, I better go mentally prepare myself…

Have a fun weekend, all!

P.S. Furoku members, I’m still on schedule to deliver the next edition this weekend!

      Thank you, Raquel! I used a couple brands here: Lukas and Prima, which are lesser known. I also love to use Schmincke and Daniel Smith watercolors. 🙂

I’ve been sewing a lot and have noticed that now I’ve been sewing a lot and have noticed that nowadays I sew the way that my husband buys clothes: the same things in different colors. Once I find a pattern that I like, I’ve developed a habit of whipping out multiples. I’ve made a bunch of these simple woven tees (1st 2 images) and about half a dozen knit batwing tops (3rd image — a turquoise one is in the wash right now). I’m now working on several leggings. Soon, though, I’m going to move onto spring dresses! Excited!! #isew #handmadewardeobe
