I adore Japanese kawaii. In particular, I love the heartwarming charm of handmade dolls that are somewhat wabisabi. It's the kind of quirkiness and sense of imperfection that makes handmade things more unique. This reversible asleep/awake doll is one of the many adorable softie patterns found in the pages of "Nuiguri Style Handmade Softie," a PDF pattern ebook I bought from ETSY four years ago. I look forward to making the other softies featured in the book as soon as I have the chance.

I love everything matryoshka! After getting my crafty vibes back, the first thing I made is this cute matryoshka doll from I Think Sew. I want to share the link to the pattern but I can't find the site anymore. :(
For more matryoshka goodness, check out my archives here. There are lots of cute projects to choose from.

Spring and Easter season is just around the corner. Check out these great Easter Party ideas from guest blogger Steve Hansen of AtmoxFX.com.
Five Ways to Take Your Easter Party to the Next Level
By Steve Hansen, of AtmosFX.com
Easter
is one of those holidays that is steeped in tradition. Donning fancy
hats or bonnets, enjoying delicious family feasts and, of course,
discovering hidden eggs – sometimes weeks later. But sometimes it is fun
to break tradition, just a little bit. So we’ve put together a list of
great ways to build on your family’s Easter traditions – five things you
can do this season that will thrill both adults and children.
1. Ensure a confirmed sighting of the Easter Bunny
For
so many, the Easter Bunny has always been like Santa – a visitor who
comes and goes without being seen, leaving clues in the form of filled
stockings or hidden Easter eggs. (For the rest of us, it often means a
late night before the big day!) With AtmosFX’s latest digital
decoration, Hoppy Easter, you can be certain the Easter Bunny will make
an appearance at your party that will have everyone talking. In the case
of Hoppy Easter, you can project onto a window or wall a high-spirited
computer animated rabbit who's getting ready for the Spring season,
planting flowers, decorating eggs, and performing magic tricks. With a
confirmed sighting of the Easter Bunny at your gathering, it is sure to
be the talk of the neighborhood. Just make sure to buy some extra Easter
candy – you’ll need it!

2. Carve up those Peeps to make ‘Peepshi’
Over
the years, there we have seen some pretty masterful projects utilizing
the fabulously fluffy fowl of Easter, Peeps. But we are particularly
taken with Niki Achitoff-Gray’s creative genius at Serious Eats, where
she turns Peeps into sushi. Achitoff-Gray dissects peeps to create
inside-out rolls, nigiri, maki – she even adds Nerds to make a
Technicolor tobiko. And using Rice Krispie treats as sticky rice? A
masterstroke! The many colors of Peepshi are a joy to look at and great
for a party – plus, it might just be the only way to get the kids to
sample this Japanese delight. Just make sure to order the real stuff for
the adults.

3. Ditch the plastic eggs and make egg piñatas
Sure,
the plastic eggs of Easter are useful and reusable – but soooo boring!
We like the South-of-the-Border flair of Easter egg piñatas. With just
some leftover paper streamers and a little glue, you can use blown-out
eggs to create something a little more magnÃfico. Stuff the hollowed-out
eggs with dollar bills, Peeps or other lightweight surprises, and you
have a festive take on the Easter egg. Heck, you can even let your
guests take a few swings at the eggs in true piñata fashion – and even
decorate a few un-blown-out eggs to create a little mischief.

4. Consider a late-night Easter egg hunt
If
you’ve made the egg piñatas (above) and now wonder what to do with your
empty plastic eggs, consider this unusual egg hunt that works great for
both kid and adult parties. Do it in the dark! Grab a bag of small glow
sticks, put one in each egg, and then scatter them indoors or out.
Outfit your guests with flashlights if you choose – or just let ’em bump
into things. To continue the theme, you can also decorate Easter eggs
with fluorescent paint and replace a few incandescent bulbs with
black-lights. And for those who want to really take it up to a notch,
the dark environment is a perfect place to display AtmosFX’s Hoppy
Easter (above).

5. Leftovers that turn Easter brunch into a two-day event
For the Sunday
feast, we won’t presume to provide the perfect Easter Ham recipe – we
all have an uncle or grandmother who has passed-along their prized
family recipe from one generation to another. We can’t top that. But
what of the leftovers? That’s what Thanksgiving is known for, but we’ll
take the post-Easter brunch possibilities any day. We love the many
sandwich ideas at Food Republic – particularly the ham and gruyère
waffle tartine. They’re so good, your guests might choose to make the
Easter brunch a two or three day event – depending on how long the
leftovers last.
