spring has sprung and there's no better way to say "hello, again!" than making it to Etsy's front page! (Knit Spring/Summer Capelet - top left)

new pieces for spring are on the way

we are in a bunch of new stores around the bay area

and...

what all do i doodle-y do??


104, originally uploaded by oishiiknits.

i have had a number of inquiries by people who have seen my work in local boutiques and wonder why certain things can be found in the "real world" and others exist only in the ether on etsy...

so here is a link to the home of it all... oishiihandmade.blogspot.com

almost all of the pieces i make can be found on this site. contact information for placing wholesale orders can be found here as well (hint, hint)

i've also started making adult hats in super small batches. they sold out at sf indie-mart earlier this month (yeah!) so i am cooking up some more. stay tuned for photos!

sy is 3!


sy is 3!, originally uploaded by oishiiknits.

omg... my little man is sooo big! his birthday was 2 weeks ago and none of us can believe he is already 3. we're jonesing for another little one (i need a new hat model, no?)

here is a pic my lovely hubby took during a spontaneous photo shoot this afternoon while Sy sported his jammies AND his brand new backpack with his name embroidered on the pocket (a b-day gift from his grands - Skipper and Honeebee!)

thankfully he's practicing pouring in the sink here - so much better than the bedroom floor which is his preferred "pouring practice" location

oishii on the front page (of etsy, of course)

gorgeous front page treasury from theseawithin!

the "twins" hats have made a resurgence and i'm inspired to make more hats for multiples...

of course, i missed SEEING the front page because i was napping. while playing hooky from school. (bad bad naughty girl, i know).

so incredibly hard to come home to responsibility after a weekend frolicking with your hubby. drats!

road trips and websites...

just back from a lovely wedding on the beach in santa barbara this weekend.

did NOT get any work done and had way too much fun.

to atone (a naughty weekend on the beach in santa barbara ain't cheap) i've been toying with weebly creating a new free website for oishii.

have a gander and let me know what you think... oishii.weebly.com

(ahem... and did you notice the new banner for the blog?)
