It's this small cafe that is also a gift shop and tofu factory! Everything the serve is made with their own Aloha tofu. It's a popular stop for people from Japan, and for people who love tofu. My favorite is the tofu hamburger steak (no pic because I ate it!), but they also have bentos, curry, and loco moco! They even have tofu based desserts... Their tofu creampuffs are especially popular. One of my favorite things is that when you order a regular sized meal, you can also serve yourself tofu that hasn't been fully firmed yet... It is so good! This is a local business that is also one of the few tofu companies remaining in Hawaii. They are located in dole cannery... Check them out!<br />

I actually was in the aisle seat and asked the me sitting next to me if I could reach over him to take this picture; he did and it came out perfect :)<br />

I had never done one before, (only a merlion) mostly because every time I try to make hair it turns out wonky (that's also why I don't have many human amigurumi!). She came out pretty cute (with lovely hair!), and so I decided to make a few more based on my mermaid kingdom fabric (those will come in a later post, as I have to wait until the weekend to finish them!)<br />

This is one from my vault.. he didn't get chosen for the final waffle, but he's still pretty cute. Just in case you are wondering, I use a free vector-based program called <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/" target="_blank">Inkscape</a> to draw in, and I sometimes use a Bamboo Splash to draw with. I'm really hoping to find more time to draw and design fabrics, because its so much fun!<br />

I started feeling nostalgic today because I was cleaning up my room and came up some of the souvenirs I bought on my last two trips to Japan. Japan often has the reputation of being very expensive, but maybe because I live in Hawaii (which is very expensive anyway!) I find Japan to be reasonable. Plus I am a very good bargain shopper. I thought I would share some of the things I bought on my trips, along with where I got them and the price, as much as I could remember them. </div>

They are so kawaii, and strawberry flavor is one of my favorites! I recently made these tiny cupcake boxes after some strawberry inspiration also prompted me to paint my nails. Perhaps it was moving so solidly into fall after a such a long and hot summer. These boxes measure around 3" (7.6 cm) tall and will fit some tiny treasures. I was thinking they might be cute for a visit from the tooth fairy!<br />

He stands only about 3 inches tall (7.6 cm).<br />

Wow, it's been a whole year since I've blogged, and its quite funny that my last post was introducing a berrysprite fabric design, because that's what I'm here to do again! My newest design is a smaller scale design which includes little meadow sprites on a dark blue field of flowers. I'm in love with this color scheme, and I love the way it turned out! I used Spoonflower's free swatch day to test it on their newest georgette fabric, but I think it will come out just as nicely on any of their lovely fabrics. Available <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/4573302" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />

I decided to call it <i>Mermaid Kingdom</i> because it features an entire population of mermaids! One of the challenges of designing it was making all the different mermaids... I tried to give each one his/her own distinctive character. I am in LOVE with it, and I think it came out so cute! Did you notice the merlions?<br />

<br />
<br />
I found that my original design size was a bit small for something bumpy like eco-canvas, so I increased the size a bit... now the mermaids are around 1" (~2.5 cm) versus .5" (~1.5 cm). <i>Mermaid Kingdom</i> is Available now on my <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3435384" target="_blank">Spoonflower page!</a><br />

We are lucky in Hawaii, because within the past three years, three different Korean makeup brands have opened up shop! This includes <a href="http://international.thefaceshop.com/index.jsp" target="_blank">The Face Shop</a>, <a href="http://tonymolyhawaii.com/" target="_blank">TonyMoly</a> and <a href="https://www.naturerepublic.com/eng/index.jsp" target="_blank">Nature Republic</a>! Although I'm not normally a huge makeup fan, Korean makeup usually comes in kawaii packages (of which I AM a super fan!). All three stores have comporable makeup and skincare products, such as lotions, cleansers, face masks, nail polishes, etc, at similar prices. Together, they are a trifecta of amazing kawaii makeup products! I'm actually going to Japan in a few months (the land of kawaii makeup), but I couldn't resist. Here are my purchases:<br />

Face masks on the bottom left (including Aloe, Mung Bean, and Honey). The red box is a tomato lotion... Tomato is a very popular flavor/ fragrance in Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries. The monkey box holds a mud mask and the green bunny is a green tea solid perfume!<br />

More hand cream! This one came from Nature Republic, which is still relatively new in Hawaii... Their store is in Ala Moana. See what I mean about packaging though? From the minute you open it to the minute all the product is gone, you gotta love the whole "process" of using Korean makeup! Additionally, the little sprout on this guy's head can be taken out and put in your cell phone's earjack, like a little plant is growing out of your phone (they're called pluggies!). Isn't that cool?<br />
<br />
So anyway, I'm going to have to not spend money for a little while, but I'll definitely have super nice hands/ smell super good/ clear skin in the meantime!<br />

There's a brand <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/2467792?view=for_sale" target="_blank">new fabric design</a> in my spoonflower shop…. does it look familiar? Its light blue jellyfish and orange fish prey swimming on a dark teal background. To make this design, I used Inkscape, which is a free vector based drawing program. I love jellyfish so much, so I hope you like this fabric!<br />

Yep, I'm still not done posting my pictures from Japan (especially now that I have my new computer)! In Osaka we made a special trip to Kaiyukan/ the Osaka Aquarium, which was AMAZINGly fun! I realize now that when I travel, I love visiting museums and aquariums and this one was definitely one of the best I've been to! It was super easy to get to (just catch the bullet train) and walk a bit. It's nice because there is a shopping center next to the aquarium (Tempozan Harbor), and you can also buy tickets to ride the giant ferris wheel there. The aquarium is one of the largest in the world, and it would have to be to house not one but TWO whale sharks… we were super lucky because when we visited in June of 2013 they had just gotten a brand new baby whale shark and were in the process of holding a naming contest for it (she ended up being named Ten-chan). My sister and I specifically wanted to visit Yu-chan and Ten-chan! </div>

BOTH SOLD, Thank You!Hi guys! So originally I bought these Blythe dolls because I wanted to be able to know how big they were so that I could make hats and bears to sell in my etsy shop (plus the fun of being able to customize them really appealed to me!) If you follow my shop you may have seen them in one or two of my listings. But these plans of grandeur were concocted when I was still a student with lots of free time... I'm finding that now that I have a grownup full-time job I don't have as much time. Plus, they are just sitting in a plastic box under my bed. So I was wondering if anyone was interested in purchasing one (or both) from me.<br />
<br />
The first Blythe I will be selling is a Prima Dolly Ashlette (SBL, released in January of 2008). I called her Wendy and I purchased her new. Some things you should know about Wendy:<br />
<ul>
<li>I dyed her hair a darker brown. </li>
<li>I removed her factory makeup and put in new eyelashes... they are a bit scraggly. </li>
<li>Her scalp needs to be reattached.</li>
<li>Her eye-changing mechanism is broken, and I tried to fix it with glue, which is still on there... You can still change her eyes, but you have to do it manually (the pull string doesn't always work).</li>
<li>She has some wine-colored stains on her body (shoulders and back) from a red dress she has been wearing since I put her under my bed... D'oh!) Incidentally, she will be mailed in this dress because otherwise she would be nekkid.</li>
</ul>

Although there are a few things about Wendy that a collector/ blythe connoisseur might avoid, Wendy would be perfect for someone who had their eye on a Blythe but couldn't really afford one. She still looks really good and photographs very well. She's perfect for someone who is just starting out, and can still be completely customized by you!<br />

The second Blythe is my Miss Sally Rice (RBL). I love her hair color... If I was blonde I would totally dye my hair a light blue color like this... but alas, my hair is a deep brown and would require too much peroxide to every look good dyed a cool color. I purchased her from a very nice lady over at the This is Blythe Forums around 2009 for $120 I think. They still sell for quite a pretty penny... I think. Some things you should know about Miss Sally:<br />
<ul>
<li>No markings are visible</li>
<li>One of her eyechips is missing (yellow sakura coolcat) but you can totally replace it.</li>
<li>All her factory makeup is still on and is unaltered</li>
<li>She (scalp) has never been opened </li>
<li>Everything is still attached and works great!</li>
<li>Her hair is a little mussed but you can totally fix that.</li>
<li>She comes with a complete set (8) cool cat eyechips</li>
<li>She is beautiful, and photographs beautifully! </li>
<li>She will be shipped in the blue dress she's wearing in the photos!</li>
</ul>

Spread the word, tell your friends, especially if they are interested in getting a Blythe! FB message or email me (berrysprite@gmail.com) if you are interested in either one or both... If both you can probably save on shipping! <br />

Although I loved Tokyo, I think I might have enjoyed our stay in Osaka more! And for everyone who goes to Tokyo for craft/ kawaii shopping, I think I actually bought more crafty things on other parts of my trip (including Osaka) than in Tokyo... by the time we ended up in Tokyo, I had visited all of the stores I had wanted to like Tokyu Hands, Daiso, Loft, Yuzawaya, Gran Plaire, Kiwa, etc... In fact, I think I visited most of these stores in Osaka! Among my favorite things we did in Osaka was going to the Osaka Aquarium (to see the whale sharks!), shopping at Shinsaibashi (where there was the nicest/newest Daiso ever, a Mister Donut, and a Parts Club/Gran Plaire store), and going to the Tanabata festival!<br />
