I'd like to introduce Rorschach. He is Jane Doe's new friend. She calls him Roy for short.
I have a feeling they are going to have a lot of fun together! They enjoyed a simply gorgeous day here in SoCal hanging in the garden with the new Aloe and pumpkin plants.The pumpkin plants seem to be doing well but the first little baby pumpkin that started to grow didn't make it. There is still plenty of time for more to sprout, the plants have new flowers on them every day so we are hopeful! I wonder what they will dress up like on Halloween? Ideas? Well, you are here for your crafty links, so onward ho!

by
Hello My Name is Amineko follows the journey of Amineko the Crochet Cat and his crocheted friends as they eat, sleep, and have lots of fun and adventures. The book comes with complete step-by-step photography and instructions for creating an Amineko of your very own and personalizing this cute cat with different facial expressions, clothing, and even bedding. Hundreds of color photographs tell the adorable tales, and mischief, that Amineko and his friends find themselves in, with complete instructions for knitting adventures of your own.
Born in Tokyo 1967, Nekoyama has been a life-long lover of cats. Cats and their endearing mischief have never failed to cheer her up. She created her first Amineko by accident and has never looked back. Today, she and her husband are the proud parents of many Aminekos. Nekoyama’s first book, A Day In the Life of Amineko, was published in Japan in 2005.
