Hello Sandwich Everyday Craft Life

Photobucket

Hello Sandwiches,

These are the everyday craft life pictures that couldn't fit into the below post!

I was asked to do a Martha Stewart demonstration day and pop up craft booth to launch the Martha Stewart Craft Range which will be stocked exclusively in Tokyo at Entre Square in Aoyama! Exiting no? There have been couriers arriving at my house bringing boxes of Martha Stewart punches! I have to pinch myself to believe if it's true. These are a few of the samples I've been making for the demonstration day.

The demonstration day will be on March 31st at Entre Square. I will be doing four 30 minute demonstrations on the hour 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00.

13:00 = Original Wrapping Bag and Corsage making
14:00 = Scrapbooking and bookmark making
15:00 = Original card and tag making
16:00 = Party Decorations - Coaster, Luncheon Sheet, Cup decoration

The demonstrations are free (!) and reservations can be made by emailing (English okay) aoyama@entrex.co.jp

These two adorable cuties and their equally as cute handmade scrapbooks at my last Kusakanmuri workshop. Did you know the girl on the left is amazing illustrator Yuzuko-chan! I told her she was a superstar and that I was so excited that famous illustrator and book author Yuzuko-chan was going to be a participant at my workshop but she very humbly said that she was not famous at all. And the cutie on the right is my new friend Mami-chan who works as a zakka product designer at Gladly Gladee. Do you remember she also handmade me the brooch that looks like a cookie? Click here and scroll to the bottom.

Below is Mamis scrapbook! How cute is she writing Hello Sandwich on her book - and a little fried egg!

And Yuzuko-chan made a little 'Thank you Ebony' sign with my photo in the back of her scrapbook. She said it's to remember the workshop! What an honour.

It's rainy and grey and cold and frosty here today in Tokyo. All I feel like doing is writing letters and decorating envelopes all day and drinking chai. Is that too naughty?

Happy Weekend Sandwiches!

  4. What a great job working with Martha's punches. One thing about Martha's craft range is they are well designed. To get a parcel full of punches must feel like Christmas. How addictive is that masking tape I can't get enough of it. I really enjoy seeing Tokyo through your lens it looks wonderful. Good Luck with the demos,
