Now My iPod Has a Home

How My iPod Got a Home

Like many of her brothers and sisters, my silver iPod Nano is enjoying a happy and productive life. The only sad part of her life has been the lack of permanent home in my purse to tuck away all her wonderful cords and strings.


I have finally decided to help my iPod out by building her a soft and cozy home. I am currently inspired by the Japanese Amigurumi toys and Softies, so I decided to try my hand at crochet.

This is my iPod happily napping inside her soft and comfy pouch.


... and the back view


... and the zoom on the buttons. My friend said that it looks like a face.
I agree ~:-)

If you would like to see the pattern for this iPod Nano case, I would be happy to share it. Just leave a comment, and I'll post it right up!

Piperoid - Made in Japan

Ooohh, it's almost end of November, and this is my first post this month! That's because I've been super busy at college. It was end of the semester, and every assignment was due within a 2-week period. But now it's all done done! *:-)

Now that I have more time, there are many posts to come with all the Billy Blue assignments and other things I've made. Here is a cool idea of "toys for adults". A way to nurture and develop that creative energy that lives withing us all. It's called PIPEROID... what will the Japanese come up with next.

Please Remember the Excitement
Do you still remember how excited you were to make handicrafts when you were a child? The process to create things with one’s own hands is always thrilling. Why don’t we, adults, enjoy such a sense of excitement, too? Piperoid has been launched in the hope to stimulate adults’creative minds and open the door to familiarity with handicrafts.

Piperoid is creative handicrafts produced in Japan, which transforms into a robot by assembling paper pipes. It is possible to show a wide range of expressions through little pose adjustments due to its movable joints made of minimal material, paper pipes.

Awesome!
