Decorate felt balls with embroidery

Via Bloomize I came across this Japanese magazine with instructions for making embroidered felt balls (see p. 15). So pretty for Christmas ornaments or shade pulls or embellishments on gifts... True, the directions are in Japanese, but I bet you could figure it out using the diagrams for inspiration. If you want to buy plain felted balls, search Etsy. Or to make your own, try this tutorial.

Awesome Gift Ideas

Shinzi Katoh Strawberry Crystal Ring - $78

Of course, I'm a Shinzi Katoh fan! He is one of my favorite artists. In fact, when I first started sassyNpunk, I stocked some of his Fairy Tale bags at sassyNpunk Boutique. However, his work is a little bit pricey, so be prepared to dish out quite a bit for something with his name on it.

Yum Yum Bento Box Cookbook - $16.95

Books sometimes are thought of as "last minute" or "thoughtless" gifts. However, that is totally untrue! I personally love getting books as gifts, especially DIY books. Trust me, if you know someone who is crafty, loves to cook, or has a unique hobby, they are definitly the type of person who will appreciate a book on the subject. The Yum-Yum Bento Box Cookbook combines two of my favorite things, cute kawaii characters and cooking! If you know someone like me, then this book would make a perfect gift.

Necono Digital Camera Kit & Pouch - $180

Ok, this is officially the coolest camera on earth! The Necono Digital Camera is a real digital camera shaped like a cat! But wait, It gets better! This is not only a still photo camera, but it also captures video too! I'm unsure about the quality of the photos though. I have not personally used this camera kit, so I can't really vouch for anything but it's cuteness ;) However, if someone gave this to me... it would be love at first sight!

Cat Scratch Turntable - $38

No list would be complete without a gift for your beloved pet! This Cat Scratch Turntable is probably the coolest cat gift you could possibly buy this Holiday Season. All the cats on the block will be jealous of your cool kitty scratching on his kitty turntable. If anyone buys this, pleeease take video or pictures and send them to us at support@sassyNpunkBoutique.com or upload them to our Flickr group pool so I can feature them on the blog.

All of the awesome gifts we featured in this blog post are available at Omoi Zakka Shop

Be a type designer

If you liked Kern Type, you might enjoy designing letterforms, too. Try the Shape Type game and see how closely your letters resemble samples from actual typefaces.

Purrfect Pineapples

Purrfect Pineapples is my absolute favorite lingerie store. Even if you don't wear this kind of stuff, the pretty pictures and fancy fabrics sure are fun to look at! I would definitly classify Purrfect Pineapples as Lolita style lingerie ;)

You might recognize sassyNpunk friend and model, Masuimi Max in the mint and pink set! And the lovely Kristen Leanne who sponsored a sweet little giveaway with us last month in the pink and blue =)
Plus the very lovely, Rachel Mitchell-Cottom, and the always cute and perky, Cherry Dollface.

Don't forget to stop by their fan pages on Facebook and say "Hi!"

    

    

Ribbon designs in action

Months ago Bella Bark and Meow commissioned some ribbon designs for use on their exclusive line of pet collars and matching leashes. The other day I took a peek at their website to see if they'd been manufactured and turned into finished products, and voilà!
My only question is whether or not I can buy this fellow. Look at that face.

When I contacted the company owner for permission to show these images, she agreed and added that if you mention my name, you can get 15% off your order. Sweet! Enter the code JJONES at checkout between now and Nov. 16th to get the deal.

Brock Davis

Brock Davis, or Laser Bread as he is known on Flickr, is an awesome artists who does everything from drawings to photography. His work is so simple yet so creative, and when I look at his work it makes me think to myself - "why have I never thought of this!"
Brock just completed his first ever cover for Time Magazine this past October, so I thought it was about time I featured him on the sassyNpunk blog =) Enjoy!
