Amazing mt installation!

I went back to the mt expo 2011 this morning to take some photos of this amazing installation in natural daylight.

It's incredible no?

New mt Tapes!

These are some of the new mt tapes that I bought at the mt expo opening party last night. How adorable are the ribbons?!

Naturally I couldn't sleep without trying them out on a little craft project so I made this little paper gift bag. I might have gone a bit overboard ;)

mt expo 2011 Opening Party!

Oh My Goodness you will never guess where I went tonight! Okay, so maybe the photo above gave it away. Waou it was so much fun! As with all mt events, Kamoi went to town with the decoration and installations. The mt expo 2011 is held at Dictionary Club in Shibuya and if you're in Tokyo at the moment you can still catch it until 8th November.



Adorable car, van and bike covered in mt.

Even the ground outside was covered in trademark mt event stripes!

There was such a great buzz and vibe to the night.

mt machinery was brought from the factory to Dictionary Club! Visitors were able to able to buy mt tape CUSTOM CUT (!!!) to any size they desired!!!

These mini-me rolls were soooo adorable!

The shop was stocked full of new mt designs including bows, collage, buttons and notebooks. It was so popular that Kamoi couldn't keep up with customers so customers were offered a home delivery service (pay on delivery) by placing their desired items and their address details in a shopping bag which would later be couriered to them.

Products from Kamoi's company history were on display - just incredible!

This cute Japanese guy was serving hot sangria (ahh I love Tokyo in autumn).

...and some sweet fruits drinks.

There was also the most incredible installation but I'll have to go back tomorrow to take some photos in daylight for you! (There's a sneak peek on my instagram if you're so inclined).

I'll also take some shots of some of the new designs on the tapes I bought. I think you'll like them - and may want to order some yourself!

Waou - what a night. Craft lovers in Tokyo - you won't want to miss this expo!

Kazumi-chan's new book!

When I arrived home yesterday after a lovely bike ride with friends along Kandagawa to Kichijoji, I found a little present from Kazumi-chan! It was a copy of her new book! In her book Kazumi-chan shows us how to make seasonal craft for the entire year long. Cute Christmas wreaths, birthday party crowns, hanging mobiles, paper flower sticks and much more. Her new book is designed by Segawa-san who also designed our new wrapping book.





My eyes lit up when I saw a little paper cup with the name 'Ebony' written on it!!! Ureshiiii!!! And a little secret is, that in my new book I put a little 'Kazumi-chan' on one of the wrapping ideas too! I loved this little secret exchange!

You can pick up Kazumi-chan's new book online here.

Hello Sandwich in Tokyo Bookshops

Some Japanese craft books that I was lucky enough to be included in!














It was just incredible today to walk into Libro Shibuya, Sanseido Shimokitazawa and Shimokitazawa Village Vanguard and see our new wrapping book sitting next to another book I'm on the cover of! This book was on the shelves too! It was such an honour, too, to be on the same shelves as my lovely and amazingly talented friends Udagawa-san, Killigraph-san and Yuzuko-san! You will love Yuzuko-san's new embroidery book too! It's the one on the right with the little smiley face. It's amazing!
