I need your help

a long time ago I found pictures of terumi otaka's doll making books, adorable little girls in kimono.

now, I'm having the worst time finding them.
has anyone seen them, or know where I can find scans of them? they are in japanese, but lots of pictures, and I'd like to make them.

thanks everyone!

I knit fingerless gloves!

Another 1,000 cranes, but with a twist!

Traditionally, the legend goes that a person who folds 1,000 cranes is supposed to be granted a wish. In reality, I think a person who folds 1,000 cranes ends up with carpal tunnel syndrome and a bunch of paper cranes. So what do you do with them? Answer: con someone else into taking them by making them think it's a really nifty present... ;)

( What we have here is a box full of scrap paper... I mean... wishes! That's it, wishes! )

For my next (not again!) set of cranes, I bought memo cubes, and I plan to write one thing that makes me happy on the paper, fold it into a crane, and take a picture of it with/on/near something that represents what I wrote. I'm going to (hopefully) post them all over at Daily Crane on Facebook if anyone wants to follow the insanity... O.o

 I just started crocheting not too long ago and I love it! I make ear warmers, mostly. Haven't had the attention span to finish a hat yet. But here's one of my finished ear warmers!

I want to learn!
