Cotton Time
I bought my first ever Japanese craft book/magazine in January, and I am just now getting around to sharing photos. I am lucky enough to live close to both a Mitsuwa and several Japanese bookstores, so you would think I would have amassed quite a collection given how absolutely addictive I find these. Then again, I find a lot of shopping to be intimidating, so it’s probably no surprise that I just stand there in the Japanese bookstore completely dumbfounded over what to buy.
This copy of Cotton Time, Issue 1 was all I went home with… I guess It’s more of a magazine than a book, and it was sealed in plastic when I purchased it. For some reason, it seemed easier to gamble than pick one out myself. (Who knows why?) It also came with a little booklet of extra crafts with instructions and a calendar. Here are some of my favorites pages (sorry some of the scans are a little grainy...)

I've never actually attempted to make something from a Japanese craft book - but I sure do love looking at them!
Aren't they beautiful?!
