Zakka Handmades blog tour + giveaway

 I'm a big fan of the Japanese zakka world,
it can hardly surprise anyone....
I was very exited, when Amy Morinaka invited me
to join the Zakka Handmades blog tour.

Amy's book with 24 projects is inspiring for beginners

as well as more advanced sewers.

It's hard to choose which project to make,

but I decided to start with a rice therapy eye pilow.

The eye pillow is filled with uncooked dry rice

- you can heat it in the microwave.

You can replace the rice with beans and

add lavender buds.

I skipped the embroidery

- not because I don't like it!

....I was a lazy sewer that day, that's it.

If you like Zakka too, you have to buy this book!

...but you have a chance to win a copy of Amy's book.

All you have to do is to leave a comment to this post

by Friday July 19th. The giveaway is open internationally.

 I will announce the randon winner on July 20th.

Until then you can visit the other blogs participating

in the blog tour. There's a giveaway at every stop!
