Handmade short story books for the little ones

cute illustrated storybooks

The first thing that my son said when he saw these images are that these are “so cute” and he wants to kiss the little children in the pictures!  I agree.  These handmade paperbag short story books created by Ron Steward of Tiny Island Books for pre-schoolers look like much fun.

The stories revolve around a secret little island just for children where lots of little people live and have lots of fun. There are currently four books to collect and a the fifth now being illustrated.  All the books are child friendly with clear illustrations and big type, and hence make great little presents!

Each book cost just US$5 each and international shipping is available.  Check them out for your kids or some little ones you know!

Japanese inspired embroidery and stitching

One-point stitch embroidery

I started a new project on embroidery, after posting about stitchette embroidery patterns earlier.  As I have never done embroidery, I got some Japanese stitching and embroidery books from a local bookstore.  You can find similar books at Superbuzzy which specializes in Japanese crafts, books, fabric and cute stuff, with international shipping available.

I really love doing these.  I’m thinking of doing book jackets or bookmarks which can be done up quickly.  I’ll see how it goes.  For the moment, I’m obsessed with getting the images stitched up because they’re really cute!
